It’s no secret that Hawaii’s roads are in poor condition. A recent study by TRIP, by a national Transportation research group, ranked Honolulu’s roads and highways as 5th worst in the nation.

Guests:

Ed Sniffen, Administrator for the State Department of Transportation’s Highways Division

Ross Sasamura, Department of Facility Maintenance Director and Chief Engineer
