STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3294

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 2684

       H.D. 2

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 2684, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ZIPPER LANE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to require the Department of Transportation to conduct a study on the feasibility of extending the zipper lane westward from Waipahu toward Kapolei, west of the Kunia on-ramp on the island of Oahu.

 

     In addition, this measure appropriates an unspecified sum to be expended by the Department of Transportation to conduct the feasibility study.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from two individuals.

 

     Your Committee finds that zipper lanes provide an incentive to carpool and reduce the number of cars on the road.  The feasibility study required by this measure will provide the Legislature with helpful information regarding the potential advantages and disadvantages of extending the zipper lane westward from Waipahu toward Kapolei.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2684, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2684, H.D. 2, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
