Hele-On bus, paratransit services to be temporarily unavailable because of training

Users of Hawai‘i County’s public transportation system will need to find alternate transportation one day this month because of employee training.

Hele-On will not operate any bus and paratransit services Jan. 22. All of the County’s Mass Transit Agency employees and contractors will be receiving Americans With Disabilities Act training that day to ensure compliance with the law and requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Justice. This training will occur every year for the next three years.

Alternative transportation will be available via the use of taxis or ride-share apps Lyft and Uber. Click here to see a list of available taxicab operators.

Regular bus service will resume at 3:15 a.m. Jan. 23.
