HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hawaii’s reopening has meant a lot of things, including ― for lots of folks ― the return of gridlock traffic after months of smooth sailing on the highways.
The brief respite has University of Hawaii economists suggesting some more long-term fixes that could keep traffic flowing better.
They say putting in a strategic toll system and staggering work hours could help.
A recent report from the UH Economic Research Organization notes that pre-pandemic traffic congestion cost an estimated $690 million, mainly paid through lost time and productivity as workers sat idle in traffic.
