The FTA and FHWA have initiated a series of joint Enhanced Planning Reviews (EPRs) to assess the impact of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) on the planning processes conducted by the transportation agencies serving metropolitan areas. The ERPs are also intended to determine the effects of planning on transportation investment processes. The ERP for Honolulu included a federal site visit from January 9 through January 12, 1995. At the conclusion of the site visit, the team presented preliminary observations and recommendations to the local agencies taking part of the review. The team formulated several additional observations as a result of the further review of documents and notes. This report presents the summary conclusion and a complete set of the observations and recommendations.

This report is part of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) goal of completing in 1996 "an overall national assessment of the metropolitan planning process and its implementation under ISTEA". It concentrates on contemporary planning concepts and how ISTEA compares to the best available planning practices. The Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR) used three sources of information to make this assessment: an extensive review of contemporary planning literature, an evaluation of the 70 certification and enhanced planning reviews available from federal review teams by May 1996, and ACIR field work with 11 MPOs under 100,000 population that are well below the size of those receiving formal federal review.
