1.1 HRTP Description
The HRTP is an approximate 18.75-mile grade-separated, automated fixed rail system from East Kapolei in the west to the Civic Center Station, located east of downtown Honolulu, in the east. The HRTP includes 19 stations, 80 light-metro fully automated (driverless) rail vehicles, a maintenance and storage facility (MSF) on a 44-acre parcel near Leeward Community College, and three park-and-ride facilities. The mission of the HRTP is to provide fast, reliable public transportation services in rapidly developing areas with diverse populations. The HRTP is the largest infrastructure project in the history of the State of Hawaii and will be the first fully automated commuter rail system in the nation.
The HRTP alignment is separated into three segments as follows:
Segment 1 – Kualaka‘i (East Kapolei) Station to Hālawa (Aloha Stadium) Station
The alignment begins at Kualaka‘i Parkway at the East Kapolei Station near the University of Hawai‘i West O’ahu campus and continues to the Aloha Stadium Station. Segment 1 includes approximately 10 miles of guideway and nine rail stations.
Segment 2 – Hālawa (Aloha Stadium) Station to Kahauiki (Middle Street) Station
This segment extends the route from the Aloha Stadium Station, past the Pearl Harbor Naval Base and the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, to the Middle Street Transit Center. Segment 2 includes approximately 5.2 miles of guideway and four rail stations.
Segment 3 – Kahauiki (Middle Street) Station to Ka’akaukukui (Civic Center) Station
This segment extends the route from the Middle Street Station, through downtown Honolulu, to the Civic Center Station, located at the intersection of South Street and Halekauwila Street. Segment 3 includes approximately 3 miles of guideway and six rail stations. There is an option to extend the segment 1 mile to Ala Moana Center and two additional stations, Kaka’ako Station and Ala Moana Center Station.
HART’s responsibility is for the design and construction of the Project. As each segment is completed and ready for passenger service, the completed segment will be transferred to DTS, which will be responsible for rail operations and maintenance.
