Honolulu Rail Project – Public Support Shifting Back to Rail Project


According to a new poll conducted by Ward Research Inc, the public support for the $5.26 billion rail project has been increasing, with 50 percent of those polled saying that rail should continue.  This was an increase from the 44 percent of Oahu voters who supported the Honolulu Rail three months ago.  That being said, there is a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points and only 552 like Oahu voters were surveyed by the research company.  One interesting fact that should be noted is that 87 percent of those surveyed believed that the rail project will cost the state more then the $5.26 billion that is currently estimated.
