TRAFFIC STORIES

Vancouver's SkyTrain system, considered comparable to the rail system planned for O'ahu, uses trains built by Berlin-based Bombardier Transportation, among the companies competing for Honolulu's rail contract.

3 bidding for Oahu rail (Jul 06, 2009)
Two major train suppliers have pulled out of the running to provide vehicles and systems for Honolulu's planned rapid transit system. That leaves three companies competing for the estimated $230 million city contract scheduled to be awarded next year. The vehicles and systems contract is a small part of the $5.4 billion rail project. However, the style of the rail cars chosen will determine much of the system's overall character.

Hawaii Superferry can give ships to lenders, court says (Jul 03, 2009)
Hawaii Superferry Inc. can abandon its ships to lenders owed $158.8 million for their construction, the company's bankruptcy judge ruled.

Bad roads blamed for half of U.S. traffic deaths (Jul 02, 2009)

A freeway message board at the Liliha Street overpass spreads the word about the new cell phone law.

Last warning: Cell phone ban kicks in tomorrow (Jun 30, 2009)

Sixteen-year-old Mikhail Han represents a new generation of O'ahu drivers who — beginning tomorrow — will grow up on an island where holding a cell phone will no longer be allowed behind the wheel.

This one-lane bridge over Wailua River will be retrofitted to carry two lanes in a project expected to take 14 months.

Kauai bridge will gain extra lane (Jun 29, 2009)
An 88-year-old cane haul bridge over Kaua'i's Wailua River will be retrofitted to carry two traffic lanes and a bicycle and walking path starting in late July. When completed, the 14-month, $30 million project will turn the former one-lane bridge into two lanes northbound on a permanent basis.

DOT also objects to Superferry plans (Jun 25, 2009)
The state Department of Transportation yesterday joined unsecured creditors owed money by Hawaii Superferry in objecting to the company's request to abandon its two high-speed catamarans.

Potential bidders attend rail symposium (Jun 24, 2009)

Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon seemed happy with the Maya 300 after test-driving the electric car yesterday outside the Maryland Science Center, where the rent-a-car operation debuted as a showcase for the vehicle.

All-electric car sharing makes debut in Baltimore (Jun 24, 2009)
The nation's first all-electric car-sharing program debuted yesterday at the city's Inner Harbor, with manufacturer Electrovaya hoping urban residents seeking to go green and curious tourists will take the concept for a spin.

Service aids 112 vehicles in 2 days (Jun 21, 2009)
The state's new Freeway Service Patrol responded to 112 disabled vehicles in its first two days, according to the Department of Transportation. The free roadside assistance program, which began Wednesday, consists of six patrolling tow trucks that drive the busiest parts of H-1 and Moanalua freeways on weekdays during the hours of heaviest traffic.

Freeways, trains under scrutiny (Jun 17, 2009)
Trains and lanes are the topics of two major transportation symposiums being held in Honolulu next week. On Sunday, a four-day international conference on freeways and tollways will kick off at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort and Spa.

Honolulu's new transit logo biased, rail opponents say (Jun 15, 2009)
The city's multimillion-dollar rail information campaign now includes a heart-shaped "I Love Rail" logo that is featured on a monthly TV show and newsletter. The logo has been generating concern that the taxpayer-funded public involvement initiative now has taken on an overtly pro-rail promotional tone.
