Transportation Agency announces new bus stop rules
LIHUE — The County of Kauai Transportation Agency is announcing new rules and
regulations regarding county bus stops, effective Monday, Feb. 19.
These new rules and regulations are a result of comments received from the public
during a public hearing held on Friday, Jan. 12.
"Accessible bus stops are a priority for our customers and the new rules are a result of
concerns brought to us from the community," said Transportation Executive Celia Mahikoa. "It is
important that the County of Kauai maintains these stops for all users of the bus."
According to the County of Kaua'i's Transportation Agency's Rules and Regulations on
Procedures for the use and closure of county bus stops:
• All county bus stops shall be closed for use and not occupied by any person from the
hours of midnight to 4 a.m.;
• No person shall possess or consume any drugs or alcohol, or be smoking (including
electronic cigarettes) at county bus stops;
• No person shall erect any structure or fixture within a county bus stop or an area
immediately adjacent thereto;
• And no person shall occupy a bus stop in a manner that inhibits its full and adequate use
by the public.
Any person violating these rules shall, upon conviction, be fined in an amount not
exceeding $100 or be imprisoned for a period up to 10 days or be both fined and imprisoned.
For more information on the new bus stop rules, please call Celia Mahikoa at 246-8110
