Paratransit SERVICE AND Operations
TheHandi-Van is a demand-response operation service for the entire Island of Oahu for riders who meet the complementary paratransit service eligibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Individuals are picked up and dropped off at their destinations. This branch also oversees the city’s Human Services Transportation Coordination Program (HSTCP), which supports transit-related activities addressing the needs of senior citizens, low-income households, and persons with disabilities.
The Committee for Accessible Transportation (CAT) provides counsel and advice to the Director of the Department of Transportation Services concerning the transportation goals and objectives for the elderly and persons with disabilities.
Facilities and Equipment
The Facilities and Equipment Branch procures all vehicles and equipment used to operate and support TheBus and TheHandi-Van services. This branch also oversees the construction of new bus facilities, and the maintenance and improvement of existing facilities, including bus transit centers and park-and-ride facilities, bus shelter and bus stops.
One project to support maintenance of the facilities is the Bus Stop Volunteer Program wherein the City Department of Transportation Services (DTS) partners with civic organizations, businesses, or school organizations willing to donate their time and labor to perform minor repairs and painting at TheBus transit centers and bus shelters. Painting supplies will be provided by the DTS. For those interested, please complete our Online Contact Form to receive additional information about the program.
