September 2020

·we, the undersigned, urge the members of the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation Board of Directors to renew the contract of HART Executive Director and CEO Andrew Robbins.

Ouring his first three years on the job, HART has made tremendous strides in several key areas of the rail project.

Mr. Robbins led the effort to complete the Recovery Plan for the project. as required bv the Federaf Transit Administration. The significance of the acceptance and approval of the Recovery Plan by the FT A cannot be overstated,

In addition, t~e project's budget has remained stable during his tenure, in sharp contrast to the period preceding his arrival at HART.

On the construction side of the project, work is winding down on the completion of the nine rail stations on the ewa end of the project. Mr. Robbin·s led the effort to address the engineering challenges with the canopy arms at these stations. The civil work on these facilities is now nearly finished which will allow Hitachi Rail to come in and make the stations ready for the launch of passenger service, which the City is planning to implement next year.

Work on the guideway and stations in the Airport section continues to progress. HART and its contractor are on track to have that section activated and ready for passenger service no later than 2023, so that just three years from now, 15 of the project's 20 miles, fully 75% of the new Honolulu rail system, will be available for the people of Honolulu.

All this work has meant jobs for our island people. There are both direct and indirect jobs related to the project. Especially in this time of a global pandemic, keeping the project going is providing a needed boost to our local economy as so many other sectors are hurting.

He has established strong working relationships with many of the project's stakeholders, including those in government, business, labor, and the community.

Despite the many issues faced by those who work on mega-pro_iects such as our rail svstem. Mr. Robbins has put the project in a good place, meeting challenges by figuring out how they can best be addressed.

For the reasons listed above and for many others, we firmly believe he should continue to serve as the leader of the HART organization moving forward into the future.

HART and its contractor are on track to have that section activated and ready for passenger service no later than 2023, so that just three years from now, 15 of the project's 20 miles, fully 75% of the new Honolulu rail system, will be available for the people of Honolulu.

All this work has meant jobs for our island people. There are both direct and indirect jobs related to the project. Especially in this time of a global pandemic, keeping the project going is providing a needed boost to our local economy as so many other sectors are hurting.

He has established strong working relationships with many of the project's stakeholders, including those in government, business, labor, and the community.

Despite the many issues faced by those who work on mega-projects such as our rail system, Mr. Robbins has put the project in a good place, meeting challenges by figuring out how they can best be addressed.

For the reasons listed above and for many others, we firmly believe he should continue to serve as the leader of the HART organization moving forward into the future.

September 2020

We, the undersigned, urge the members of the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation Board of Directors to renew the contract of HART Executive Director and CEO Andrew Robbins.

During his first three years on the job, HART has made tremendous strides in several key areas of the rail project.

Mr. Robbins led the effort to complete the Recovery Plan for the project, as required by the Federal Transit Administration. The significance of the acceptance and approval of the Recovery Plan by the FT A cannot be overstated.

In addition, the project's budget has remained stable during his tenure, in sharp contrast to the period preceding his arrival at HART.

On the construction side of the project, work is winding down on the completion of the nine rail stations on the ewa end of the project. Mr. Robbins led the effort to address the engineering challenges with the canopy arms at these stations. The civil work on these facilities is now nearly finished which will allow Hitachi Rail to come in and make the stations ready for the launch of passenger service, which the City is planning to implement next year.

Work on the guideway and stations in the Airport section continues to progress. HART and its contractor are on track to have that section activated and ready for passenger service no later than 2023, so that just three years from now, 15 of the project's 20 miles, fully 75% of the new Honolulu rail system, will be available for the people of Honolulu.
