Honolulu Rail Transit
The Honolulu Rail Transit Project (also known as the Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project) is an urban rail rapid transit system under construction in Honolulu County, Oahu, Hawaii. The mostly- elevated system features design elements from both heavy rail systems and light metros, with a commuter rail-like design incorporated into trains and suburban stations.
The first of its kind in Hawaii, the system seeks to alleviate substantial traffic issues affecting the state's most populous urban agglomeration, as well as provide a reliable transportation alternative for visitors and commuters in southern Oahu. For more than 40 years, debate over the development of a rail system in Honolulu was a major point of contention in local politics leading into the 2008 and 2012 election cycles.
The first phase of the project, linking East Kapolei and Aloha Stadium, is scheduled to open in 2017, and the second phase of the project continuing the line to Ala Moana Center in urban Honolulu is slated to open in 2019.
==History==
Plans for a mass transit line to connect Honolulu's urban center with outlying areas began in the 1960s, but funding was not approved until 2005. The controversy over the rail line was the dominant issue for local politics leading into the 2008 Honolulu elections, and culminated in a city charter amendment which left the final decision to the citizens of Oahu. The amendment passed with 53% of voters in favor, and ground broke on project construction on February 22, 2011.
