Environmental Quality Control in Honolulu, HI, formerly known as The Alliance for Traffic Improvement, is a local organization dedicated to finding cost-effective solutions to reduce traffic congestion on Oahu. They work closely with Parsons Brinckerhoff, a global engineering and consulting firm, on various transportation projects, including the rail transit project. The organization also collaborates with neighborhood boards and community members to address concerns about the negative impacts of rail transit on communities.
Recently, Parsons Brinckerhoff announced a new rail ridership forecast, projecting 150,000 daily riders on the 6:00 AM train, with ridership improving throughout the day. However, there have been doubts raised about the capacity of the train to accommodate that many riders. Environmental Quality Control and neighborhood boards have been actively involved in discussions and decision-making processes regarding the rail project, with some neighborhood boards, like the Waikiki Neighborhood Board, even voting against the rail in their area. Additionally, the organization has been exploring alternatives to the rail project, such as the implementation of managed lanes or HOT lanes, to alleviate traffic congestion in Honolulu.
