Slowing down saves lives!

Today at Pearl City Highlands Elementary, DTS, Complete Streets, HDOE and HPD announced that school zone speed limits on City roadways across Oʻahu are being reduced from 25 mph to 20 mph, between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on school days, in accordance with City Council Ordinance 24-32.

With more than 200 schools across Oʻahu, the effort requires the fabrication, installation and replacement of roughly 10,000 traffic signs. Due to the scale of the project and available resources, implementation will occur in phases over the coming years, beginning mostly around public schools.

This is the first batch of signs that the City will be installing over the years. Signage along Kalāheo Avenue in Kailua, Hawaiʻi Kai Drive, Waipahu Street, and Hoʻomaeʻmae Street in Pearl City have recently been updated.

As students head back to school, we ask all drivers to slow down, stay alert, and help keep our keiki safe. Together, through our and initiatives, we're creating safer streets for everyone.

Mahalo to Pearl City Highlands Elementary, Hawai'i Public Schools and Honolulu Police Department (Official Site) for joining us today and supporting this important school safety initiative!

Did you know that July is ?

Disability Pride Month is celebrated in July to honor the culture, achievements, and rights of disabled individuals. It marks the historic signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990.

Here at DTS, we are proud to serve our community, with no better way to get around than with !

Handi-Van provides service, a curb-to-curb, shared-ride transportation option for qualified riders on the island of Oʻahu who are unable to use the City’s bus service, .

Our transit network remains ADA accessible for everyone, regardless of age or ability, helping connect our community to work, school, doctor's visits, shopping or recreation.

The City and County of Honolulu and Hawai‘i Bicycling League are proud to represent the multimodal community as Governor Josh Green signed House Bill 2021, relating to electric bicycles, micro-mobility devices and regulation.

HB 2021:

Establishes safety rules for electric bicycles and other micromobility devices; Restricts where high-speed electric devices may operate; Defines "electric bicycle" and "electric micromobility device" in state law; Prohibits riders under 16 from operating Class 2 or Class 3 e-bikes without direct supervision; Requires riders under 18 to wear helmets when operating bicycles or electric foot scooters.

We want everyone to be able to get to and from their destinations safely by walking, bicycle, transit or e-mobility device. However, we want them to do so safely.

Safety is everyone's responsibility. HB 2021 is another step toward creating safer streets for all users and supporting a transportation network where everyone can travel with confidence.

Action Highlight: Action 1.7 — Integrate Food Access into Skyline Stations 🚉🥗

Action 1.7 of the City's draft Oʻahu Food Systems Plan envisions Skyline station areas as hubs of food access, community resilience, and cultural connection. Through farmers markets, food distribution events, community planting days, and educational workshops, Skyline stations have the potential to become vibrant community spaces that foster pilina, connecting people to food, place, and one another.

This work is already underway through pilot projects at Honouliuli and Hōʻaeʻae Stations, with partners including the Resilience Office, Office of Economic Revitalization (OER), Department of Transportation Services (DTS), and other City agencies. This action is one of 71, and affirms the City's commitment to these efforts now and into the future and promotes cross collaboration between agencies.

Learn more about the draft Oʻahu Food Systems Plan and provide feedback by June 30, 2026, at resilientoahu.org/foodsystemsplan.

This morning, we participated in the blessing of the new dragon mural at the center of Kekaulike Mall!

The mural was brought back to life after the original was damaged, and merchants and customers alike could not be happier with the result.

The dragon has been awakened and now brings blessings to those who shop, sell, and visit Kekaulike Mall, serving as a symbolic gateway into Chinatown.

DTS is proud to be part of the Chinatown community. will eventually make its way into downtown Honolulu, providing passengers with the opportunity to be welcomed by Kekaulike Mall, Maunakea Marketplace, and the vibrant heart of Chinatown.

UPCOMING CHANGES TO TRANSIT FARES STARTING JULY 1, 2026!

Beginning Wednesday, July 1, 2026, there will be fare changes for , and .

The fare adjustments are part of ongoing efforts to maintain safe, reliable, and accessible public transportation service for Oʻahu residents and visitors. Revenue generated through fares helps support daily operations, maintenance, and continued investments in Honolulu’s growing multimodal transit system.

There are no fare changes for single rides paid with a . A single tap on TheBus or Skyline is now called a 2-hour pass. After your first tap, you can ride TheBus and Skyline as much as needed within the 2-hour period at no additional cost.

CASH fares on TheBus will increase by $0.25 per ride and do not include the 2-hour pass or transfer benefits. Riders are encouraged to use a HOLO card loaded with stored value to take advantage of the lowest fare and added convenience.

In addition to having a registered HOLO card, we encourage riders to pay-as-you-go, rather than pay for an entire monthly pass upfront. Registered HOLO cards offer balance protection, easier account management, and fare capping benefits, ensuring riders never pay more than the daily or monthly pass limit.
