The 20-mile, 21-station elevated system will link West Oahu with the Honolulu International Airport, downtown Honolulu, and the Ala Moana Centre.

The population in Honolulu is anticipated to rise 10% by 2045, with the project expected to facilitate this growth.

HART executive director and CEO Lori Kahikina said: “Providing a connecting spine through downtown, important transit centres, and the airport will vastly improve our transit system. Stantec has been with us from the early days, and we value their expertise and longstanding service in delivering the project.”

In December 2020, Jacobs and Stantec received a programme control services contract from Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Metrolinx for four transit projects in Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada.
