Hawaiʻi Bicycling League salutes the plaintiffs in the landmark Navahine F. v. Hawai’i Department of Transportation lawsuit and shares our mahalo with Governor Green and his administration for agreeing to a comprehensive settlement as announced on June 20th, 2024. HBL has long advocated for Complete Streets, Vision Zero, and increased sustainable transportation options in Hawaiʻi. Now, thanks to the courageous actions of the youth plaintiffs in this case, there is a legally-binding agreement for the State of Hawai‘i to rapidly accelerate the expansion of multi-modal transportation choices, including completing pedestrian, bicycle, and transit networks in coordination with the Counties.

The voices of these youth plaintiffs were heard and met with direct action! Their bravery, perseverance, and hope secured a monumental climate victory for all people in Hawaiʻi and around the world.

This is truly something to celebrate! Join us at a rally at ʻIolani Palace on Monday, June 24th from 10am - 1pm to declare victory for our keiki & the climate. (Rally hosted by and )

On May 14th, a person opened their door into the bike lane and struck Alan Margol, who was riding his bicycle. He later succumbed to his injuries and died on May 17th.

HBL extends our sincere condolences to the Margol family and friends. We are working towards creating a safer environment for all road users and championing public policies that get us to a goal of zero traffic fatalities. We are asking for a renewed commitment and greater prioritization of Vision Zero and Complete Streets to prevent future tragedies.

We also remind everyone to share the road with aloha. As well as use extra care and be aware of vulnerable road users.
