"As a U.S. Senator, I am focused on bringing federal funding back to Hawaii.  You may be interested to know that I helped secure $4.8 million earmark in Fiscal Year 2023 to support the construction of a 30-mile bicycle path on Oahu. I will keep your priorities in mind as I continue working to bring federal funding back to Hawaii."

“On behalf of the County of Kaua‘i, we are honored that Ke Ala Hele Makalae has been inducted into the Rails to Trails Conservancy Hall of Fame.
