The County of Hawaiʻi Mass Transit Agency provides the Hele-On Shared Ride Program in East Hawaii. Services are accessible to those in mobility devices.

Effective 7/01/2023, the Mass Transit Agency launched a new Shared Ride Program.  The County of Hawai'i will subsidize up to $15.80 per trip (equivalent to 4 miles) and passengers are responsible to pay the balance of the rate.  As a result, travel is unlimited and taxi coupons will be eliminated.  Consumers must present their Shared Ride Program Identification Card to receive the subsidy.

Service hours are equivalent to the fixed route service hours.  Additional hours are subject to carrier’s discretion, however, you will be required to pay metered rates.

Individuals who are interested in using the Shared Ride Program must complete the Shared Ride Program Participation Form along with a copy of an ID.
