About HART

What is HART?

The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) is the public transit authority responsible for the planning and construction of the Honolulu rail transit system for the City and County of Honolulu. HART is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, as established in the Revised Charter of Honolulu, which is responsible for establishing policies pertaining to the development of the rail transit system. The rail system, called Skyline, is the first fully automated, driverless urban light metro system in the U.S. and is the largest public infrastructure project in the history of Hawaii.

HART plans to deliver a safe, reliable, and functional rail transit system to the City. For full project details, visit “About the Project” section.
