H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Energy & Environmental Protection and
Transportation, to which was referred H.R. No. 40 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HAWAII CLIMATE CHANGE
MITIGATION AND ADAPTION COMMISSION TO DEVELOP VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED REDUCTION STRATEGIES AND MAKE RELATED
RECOMMENDATIONS,
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Hawaii Climate
Change Mitigation and Adaption Commission to develop vehicle miles
traveled reduction strategies and make related recommendations.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from the Blue Planet Foundation. Your Committees received
comments on this measure from the Office of Planning and
Sustainable Development.
Your Committees find that decreasing transportation-related
emissions is essential to achieving the State’s greenhouse gas
reduction goals. Your Committees further find that vehicle miles
traveled have increased almost forty percent over the last twenty
five years and, without intervention, are projected to continue to
increase. This measure requests the Hawaii Climate Change
Mitigation and Adaption Commission to develop vehicle miles
traveled reduction strategies and make related recommendations.
