A survey of state employees working in downtown Honolulu was conducted to determine what measures could be undertaken to help reduce traffic congestion. The results of this study suggest that several transportation system management (TSM) strategies be implemented, including the expansion of existing high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and changes in parking rates to encourage carpools and vanpools. High interest in express bus service among workers and their willingness to pay extra for a guaranteed seat indicate a possible market for paratransit services such as commercial vanpools and subscription buses. Given the high rate of family carpooling in the population studied, it is believed that restructuring the work schedules of state employees by staggering hours or initiating a 4-day work week will have only a minimal effect on peak-hour traffic congestion.
