Driven by a shared goal to protect every life on our streets, Safer Roads, Together is the Honolulu Police Department’s comprehensive traffic safety initiative. This campaign bridges the gap between proactive community engagement and strategic enforcement to address the critical issues facing our roadways.
By fostering a culture of mutual responsibility, we work alongside residents to encourage safer driving habits while maintaining a visible presence to deter dangerous behaviors. The mission is clear: to eliminate preventable tragedies and ensure that every traveler—whether in a car, on a bike, or on foot—reaches their destination safely.

Keeping Oʻahu’s Roads Safe
HPD Supports Act 259, Strengthening E-Bike Safety Across Hawaiʻi
Gov. Josh Green signed Act 259, formerly House Bill 2021, into law July 15, 2026, establishing updated statewide safety standards for electric bicycles and other micro-mobility devices. The Honolulu Police Department (HPD) supports the new law, which builds on statewide efforts to improve roadway safety by creating consistent rules for the growing number of e-bikes and other devices on Hawaiʻi’s roads.
