Legislature outlines concerns about distance learning, plans for reopening schools, and lack of spending plan at Department of Education The Hawai‘i State Legislature sent a letter to the Board of Education today stating that they are “extremely concerned” about distance learning and plans for reopening schools. The letter outlines low participation rates for distance learning, internet connectivity and device access inequities among students, and the lack of a concise plan for how they will spend the federal CARES Act funding they have received. The letter is signed by Senate President Ron Kouchi and House Speaker Scott Saiki, Senate Education Committee Chair Michelle Kidani and her House counterpart Representative Justin Woodson, and budget committee chairs Senator Donovan Dela Cruz and Representative Sylvia Luke. The legislators ask that the Board of Education’s Finance and Infrastructure Committee convene an emergency meeting on July 2nd to vet the Department’s plan for financial implications and resource requirements and provide a report to the Legislature, before they will consider allocating any additional funding. The letter in PDF is attached and seen below.

Yesterday, 1,722 people arrived in Hawaii. During this same time last year approximately 35,000 passengers arrived in Hawaii daily, including residents and visitors. Yesterday marked 13 weeks since the state’s mandatory 14-day self-quarantine started for all passengers arriving in Hawaii from out of state. This table shows the number of people who arrived by air from out of state yesterday and does not include interisland travel. This data was collected from the Hawaii Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Mandatory Travel Declaration Form.

Legislature appropriates $90 million for airport COVID-19 screening, including thermal screening, traveler verification, and ramping up testing Senate Ways and Means Committee Chair Donovan Dela Cruz and House Finance Chair Sylvia Luke announced today that $90 million will be appropriated for systems at airports statewide to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The funding will be used for thermal screening systems, security protocols, web-based verification applications, traveler verification rooms, swab and testing facilities, and a service contract for ramping up testing. This investment in airport screening protocols will help us reopen tourism in the safest possible manner, screening all travelers and verifying their pre-testing information,” said Chair Sylvia Luke. “Because the U.S. Senate has not passed the HEROES Act, we are substituting federal funding from the existing CARES Act in order to move forward with this critical priority.” “At a recent Senate Special COVID-19 Committee meeting, Department of Health and the private labs indicated that we need to ramp up our testing capacity from 3,000 tests a day to 12,000, and possibly 15,000, tests a day,” said Chair Donovan Dela Cruz. “As the number of visitors increase, it’s important that we have enough tests for our local community and have the tests available for symptomatic passengers to help prevent the spread of the virus.” The systems will be installed in the five major airports: Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, Kahului Airport, Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole, Hilo International Airport, and Lihue Airport. Thermal screening cameras will be installed at all the gates to screen passengers for elevated temperatures (above 100.4 degrees) as they disembark from the aircraft. A facial imaging tracking system and monitoring control rooms will be installed throughout the terminal to track a suspected passenger until they are intercepted for further screening. Total cost is $18.5 million. Verification rooms will be constructed to verify arriving passenger information during their stay in the State ($5 million), and a web-based application will be developed for the departing passenger health form and arriving passenger verification information ($4 million). An additional $23 will be appropriated for labor. Facilities will be built to perform the swabbing and testing of suspected COVID-19 passengers for $5 million. A total of $17 million will be available for service contracts for the maintenance of the thermal screening cameras and facial imaging tracking system, labor to operate the monitoring control and verification rooms, and health professionals to perform the swabbing and testing of passengers. The measure being proposed will allow the state to reopen for all travel (interisland, domestic, and international), benefiting all residents, businesses, and the tourism industry, while minimizing the spread of COVID-19 at the five major airports.

As traffic begins to increase and people head back to work, the City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Transportation Services will be restarting contraflow operations July 1st on Kapiolani Boulevard and Ward Avenue during peak rush hour times. Morning contraflow coning will resume from 6:30am to 8:30am Monday to Friday (not including holidays). Afternoon contraflow coning will resume from 4pm to 6:30pm Monday to Friday (not including holidays). DTS would also like to inform residents that parking along South King, Beretania, Date Streets and Wilder Avenue, will no longer be allowed to park in “No Parking Tow Away Zones” during peak A.M. and P.M. hours (6:30-8:30am and 3:30-5:30pm). Vehicles parked in these Tow Away Zones must be relocated and will be properly enforced. With traffic slowly starting to ramp up, DTS would like to remind drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists to travel safely. We would also like to encourage the continuation of telecommuting for employees if possible, to reduce the amount of traffic congestion, cars and collisions on the roadways. We feel that those who choose to telecommute to work help play a large role in the reduction of collisions, congestion and carbon emissions.

The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) Harbors Division will defer the scheduled three-percent tariff increase on the orders of Governor David Ige. The tariff increase was scheduled to take effect on July 1 and would have been applied to port entry fees, vessel dockage, wharfage, pipeline tolls, and other fees associated with cargo and passenger operations at the State’s commercial harbors. “Our economy relies heavily on the movement of goods through our commercial harbors,” said Governor Ige. “As part of our economic recovery efforts, I’ve directed HDOT to defer scheduled tariff increases. This will allow local shippers and businesses, especially those on the neighbor islands, to conduct business without worrying about a rate increase at this time.” “State Harbors are financially self-sustaining through the collection of tariffs from those using our infrastructure,” said Hawaii Department of Transportation Director Jade Butay. “Thanks to the foresight of our Harbors Division staff we are able to support the governor’s deferral without negative impact to our Harbors modernization and other infrastructure improvement projects.” The Harbors Division has restricted its program costs and is currently 20-percent under budget. In March, Fitch Ratings affirmed the ‘AA-’ rating for Harbors Revenue Bonds and rated the outlook for these bonds as Stable. The original news release on the Fitch Ratings review of port operations in light of the coronavirus pandemic can be read here. Hawaii Department of Transportation Deputy Director for Harbors Derek Chow added: “Financial discipline and management controls will continue to govern our projects. Together with our federal, state, county, and private sector partners, we can weather any storm.” Hawaii’s commercial harbor system is comprised of Nawiliwili and Port Allen Harbors on Kauai; Honolulu and Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbors on Oahu; Kahului Harbor on Maui; Kaunakakai Harbor on Molokai; Kaumalapau Harbor on Lanai; and Kawaihae and Hilo Harbors on Hawaii Island.

The Hawai'i Department of Transportation (HDOT) informs the traveling public that the local access restriction for Hana Highway (Route 360) between Kapakalua Road and Hana Town will remain in place through June 30, 2020. Full access will be allowed on July 1, 2020. The local access restriction is to address access and congestion concerns due to roadwork and vehicles along the rural two-lane highway. “Restricting access to Hāna Highway was necessary to push multiple projects to ensure continued safety for those that travel this route,” said Hawai'i Department of Transportation Deputy Director for Highways Ed Sniffen. “I appreciate the kokua of the community in working with us on the restricted use of the highway. Now that the end to the local access restriction is set, we ask everyone to be aware, follow the speed limit, and drive safe especially in the areas where our crew continue to work.” Current improvement projects within this stretch of road are: Hāna Highway Emergency Repairs at MP 15.7 – Ends June 2020 Project includes reconstructing road sections; slope stabilization, upgrade of drainage structures and guardrails and requires one lane closed at a time during work hours with possible changes in lane and direction of closure. Hāna Highway Improvements 2C (Huelo to Hana) – Ends July 2020 Project includes roadway, roadside, and drainage improvements; replacing and installing new metal guardrail and end treatments; installing new soil nail retaining walls; repaving of asphalt concrete pavement; replacing and installing new pavement markings; replacing and installing new signing; installing new concrete drainage outlet structure; installing new grated drain inlets, storm drain manholes, drain pipe/culverts; installing new concrete rubble masonry wall; removing existing earth berms. Piʻinau Bridge Emergency Repairs – Ends July 2020 Project to repair the Piinau Stream Bridge between MP 16.561 to 16.6 is ongoing. Contractor is currently clearing and grubbing the area in preparation for drilling of micropiles. Hāna Highway Rockfall Barrier Repair – Ends August 2020 Work to repair existing rockfall barriers at MP 19 along Hana Highway. Hāna Highway Rockfall Mitigation at MP 12 – Est. end June 2022 Project scope consists of slope stabilization to reduce the incidence of rockfalls. Increased construction activity at mile post (MP) 12 is expected when materials are available toward the end of August. The work will involve installation of erosion control and slope stabilization measures and will require one lane closures and a reduced construction zone speed limit of 15 mph due to the winding nature of the road. HDOT does not anticipate reinstating the local access restriction for this work as it is scheduled to be a single project in the area. HDOT thanks the public for their cooperation and patience as we maintain and improve Hana Highway.
