OAHU REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2035

The Policy Committee of the Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (OahuMPO) approved the Oahu Regional Transportation Plan (ORTP) 2035 in April 2011.

Federal statutes require that the transportation plan include both mid-range and long-range strategies and actions that lead to the development of an integrated multimodal transportation system to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of people and goods in addressing current and future demand. The OahuMPO is required to update the plan every five years.

The Vision Statement for the ORTP 2035 was approved by the OahuMPO Policy Committee on May 28, 2009. It reads:

“In 2035, Oahu will be a place where we will have efficient, well-maintained, safe, secure, convenient, appropriate, and economical choices in getting from place to place. Our transportation system will move us and the goods we use in a manner that supports the island's high quality of life, natural beauty, economic vitality, and land use policies by supporting appropriate density development and avoiding urban sprawl. This system will promote energy conservation and economic sustainability as well as the protection of our ports of entry, preparation for emergency situations and changes in global climate patterns.”

The theme selected by the OahuMPO Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) is Mobilizing Oahu: Fulfilling Our Legacy and is symbolized by a maile lei encircling rays of ilima-colored sunshine. The CAC working group selected the theme based on its recognition of the need to ensure that the legacy of care for Oahu and its unique culture and lifestyle be a central focus of planning for the island's future mobility needs. Oahu’s children, grandchildren, and their children, as well as the many visitors who come here, are depending upon the current generation to promote and provide for transportation infrastructure that emphasizes choices that are efficient and environmentally sustainable, and support our economy.

The ORTP 2035 is a planning document with a twenty-five year horizon that lists transportation projects that provide the official direction for surface transportation projects and programs for Oahu, with the understanding that the placing of projects on this list does not guarantee a project’s implementation.  In general, these are regionally significant projects that would be funded in part with federal highway or transit funds.
