🚌 Maui, are you riding the Maui Bus yet?

ICYMI: Earlier this month, four new all-electric buses began rolling out on Maui roads, with some used for driver training and others already in passenger service with Maui Bus. These zero-emission buses bring quieter rides, cleaner air, and a more modern transit experience for our community.

Choosing the bus helps reduce traffic, cuts local air pollution, and supports a more sustainable transportation future for Maui. Mahalo to the County of Maui Department of Transportation for continuing to invest in cleaner, smarter mobility for our island.

🚐 What do you think about microtransit for Maui?

Last month, the County of Maui Department of Transportation hosted a community meeting to explore microtransit as a potential public transportation option for Kula–Upcountry and Waiheʻe–Kahului.

View the presentation here: mauicounty.gov/CivicMedia?VID=420

Microtransit is an on-demand, shared ride service that uses smaller vehicles and technology to offer more flexible trips—designed to supplement or, in some cases, replace lower-ridership Maui Bus routes. The goal is to improve access, convenience, and efficiency while supporting the existing Maui Bus system.

Now we want to hear from you:
👉 Would microtransit make it easier for you or your family to get around?
👉 What areas do you think would benefit most?
👉 What concerns or questions do you have?

Share your thoughts in the comments—community feedback helps shape what transportation looks like on Maui. 🌺🚌

: In the past, many mothers and caregivers traveling by plane have faced questioning, delays, or even harassment at TSA checkpoints when carrying expressed breast milk. Some were told breast milk wasn’t allowed under TSA’s 3-1-1 liquids rule, creating confusion, stress, and barriers for families simply trying to travel.

A newly signed law helps change that by affirming protections for parents and caregivers traveling with breast milk, recognizing it as a medical and caregiving necessity — not a typical liquid.

As transportation policies evolve, it’s important that they reflect the real needs of travelers and families. This is a step toward more inclusive and respectful travel experiences. 🌺
