NEW BUS ROUTE BEGINS JANUARY 5th

The Kaua‘i Bus announces new routes with electric busses

LĪHU'E - The Kauaʻi Bus is proud to announce the launch of new 900/950 public bus routes beginning Monday, January 5. This launch marks a significant step in the county’s ongoing commitment to sustainable transportation. The new route will operate between Anahola and the Waimea Athletic Field, providing expanded access across the island and convenient stops at Līhu‘e Airport in both directions.

This service will be the first on Kaua‘i to feature the agency’s newly acquired Battery Electric Buses (BEBs). These buses were procured through a combination of federal and local funds, including support from the Federal Transit Administration’s Low or No Emission Vehicle Program (Low-No Program). This program helps local transit agencies modernize their fleets with clean, energy-efficient technology that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, lowers operating costs, and improves air quality for residents and visitors alike.

“We are excited to introduce the new 900/950 routes and highlight our commitment to a cleaner, greener Kaua‘i,” said Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami. “The addition of electric buses represents a meaningful investment in sustainable infrastructure and the health and well-being of our island community.”

The 900/950 Anahola–Waimea route will enhance connectivity for residents, commuters, and travelers, offering direct access to key destinations along Kaua‘i’s southern corridor, including educational, recreational, and commercial areas.

For more information or questions, please contact the Kaua‘i Bus at 808-246-8110 or TheKauaiBus@kauai.gov.
