Panel on Clean Energy and Transportation: Land Use Entitlements

I recently had the pleasure of joining Michael Formby, Director of the Department of Transportation Services at the City and County of Honolulu, and Harrison Rue, Community Building and TOD Administrator for the City to discuss challenges and opportunities for transitioning to cleaner fuels and provide updates on TOD in Hawaii.  The Natural Resources Section of the Hawaii State Bar Association sponsored the panel.

My contribution focused on opportunities for TOD along the proposed 20-mile, 21-station route (and future extensions), with a focus on TOD entitlements required in the various jurisdictions along the route.

Below is a copy of my 5-minute presentation.

This presentation is based on past articles I wrote on TOD, which you can find at Transit-Oriented Development (TOD).

Mr. Rue's presentation provided an overview of the City's TOD vision and implementation strategies.  His presentation can be found here:
