Reminder: Wainiha-HA'ena placard exchange deadline is Sept. 17; updated
schedule announced
County of Kauai officials are reminding Wainiha-Ha`ena residents and non -governmental
agencies to exchange their access placards by Monday, Sept. 17. In addition, officials have
announced an updated placard exchange schedule to include a new date in Hanalei.
Please see the updated table below for the various locations, dates, and times for the
placard exchange.
As a reminder, all goldenrod August work passes are valid until Sept. 17.
The County of Kauai began exchanging placards issued to Wainiha-Ha`ena residents
and non -governmental agencies in early August, in an effort to combat a rash of thefts and
attempted unauthorized access into the Wainiha-Ha`ena area.
Window decals are being installed in exchange for the existing issued placards, indicating
the vehicle has authorized access to pass the Waikoko checkpoint. The existing placard must
match the vehicle in order for an exchange to occur. Exchanges do not require any new
paperwork or any additional forms to be filled out.
All residential and non -governmental agency placards will expire after Monday, Sept. 17,
2018. Until that date, both the new decals and original placards will be honored by checkpoint
staff during the transition.
Beige governmental contractor passes issued by either the state Department of
Transportation or the County of Kauai, or Waikoko-only access resident passes, does not
require an exchange and will remain valid past Sept. 17.
