Well, like many places in the U.S., O‘ahu has

matured as a place dominated by the private
automobile, to the detriment of alternative
travel modes such as walking, bicycling, and
transit. Increasingly, this auto-dependence
may affect our quality of life. While the auto
provides an important means to move around
the island, increasing congestion is making it
difficult, time consuming, and expensive to
use.

also highlights the integration of bicycle
facilities with the City’s public transit system.
The physical bikeway projects needed to
create O‘ahu’s future bikeway network are
discussed and illustrated in Chapter 5, as are
the associated costs. Finally, Chapter 6
provides specific benchmarks to measure
progress in achieving the long-term vision for
a bicycle-friendly O‘ahu.
If O‘ahu is to maintain its character and

prestige as a great place to live and visit, we
should commit the resources to transform our
auto-centric transportation system into one
that reinforces the qualities that make our
Island livable. Nothing less than a
fundamental shift in emphasis from the
automobile to alternative transportation
modes is required to achieve this.
The O‘ahu Bike Plan is an important step in

that process. To fully realize O‘ahu’s
potential as a great place for bicycles, Bike
Plan recommendations must lead to physical
changes in facilities measured in miles of bike
lanes, numbers of bike parking stalls, and the
like. It must also lead to changes in the way
we currently consider bicycles within the
City’s overall transportation system. These
changes, in turn, will lead to greater use of
bicycles.

Support facilities are those that complement
the overall network of bicycle facilities
(lanes, routes, paths--discussed in Chapter
5), such as parking, showers and changing
facilities, and integration with public transit.
This chapter identifies a range of programs
and policies that address these support
facilities.

An extensive network of lanes, paths, and

popular destinations and everyday services
will encourage more people to ride for both
