LIHU‘E — A new program aimed to assist people who rely on public transportation has officially rolled into effect.
The County of Kaua‘i Transportation Agency is now accepting applications from Kaua‘i-based non-profit organizations for the Kaua‘i Bus Outreach Program.
This program aims to provide free bus passes to low-income households and individuals who rely on public transportation through eligible nonprofit organizations. Riders interested in eligibility must apply under the tax-exempt section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
To apply, simply submit your application to the Kaua‘i County Connection online system by clicking on The Kaua‘i Bus icon, then click on the Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program Application icon.
All applications received will be reviewed and scored by a selection panel. Scoring will be based on the individual program information, and the services the applicant provides to the community along with how many community members could benefit from the Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program.
The program’s funding period goes through June 30, 2025. The deadline to apply is Sept. 5.
