With $131 million in transportation funds at risk, Hawaiʻi faces the possibility of lasting harm to our island infrastructure, and inhibited mobility for residents who rely on walking, biking and public transit.
The Hawaiʻi State Legislature has approved Senate Bill 1300, which will expand free school meal access to keiki in the ALICE population over the next two school years.
These efforts come at a time when small policy wins at the state level are offering renewed hope but require coordinated implementation to benefit Native Hawaiian communities equitably.
