HONOLULU (AP) – A group of Hawaii business and community leaders have formed a group in support of Honolulu’s planned rail transit project.
Move Oahu Forward is made up of more than 30 leaders including the president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, the president and CEO of The Queen’s Health Systems and the president and CEO of First Hawaiian Bank.
The co-chairs are Hawaiian Electric Industries President and CEO Constance Lau and James Campbell Company President and CEO Richard Dahl.
The coalition says its mission is to educate Oahu residents about the initiatives that improve mobility and quality of life in ways that strengthen the economy while protecting the environment.
The project’s opponents include former Gov. Ben Cayetano, who is running for mayor as an anti-rail candidate.
