The newest member of the Honolulu rail transit project was introduced Thursday morning at the projects finance committee meeting.
Rainer Hombach will assume the role of HART’s Deputy Director of Systems.
That means he will be taking over management of the systems group and core systems contract, which includes the train cars and train control center.
"I have worked on five new rail projects: Dallas, Jersey City, Phoenix, Baltimore, Seattle…every project I have worked on has come in on time on budget," said Hombach, while being questioned by the committee.
Committee Chair Don Horner made it clear that going forward – keeping cost estimates financially responsible for not only building, but operating the rail, must be the main goal of the committee.
