MEDIA RELEASE

Starting Oct. 27, the bus stops fronting the Pāhoa 7-Eleven, and at Pāhoa School will not be serviced by Hele-On. New stops have been established along Highway 130 and Highway 132 due to the Pāhoa Village Road closure because of the pending lava flows.

The Pāhoa-area bus stops will be as follows:

North Bound

• Highway 132 at New Hope Church Sign
• Highway 130 at Homestead Road (Hawaii Academy of Arts and Science)
• Highway 130 at Pahoa Fire / Police Station

South Bound

• Highway 130 at Malama Market
• Highway 130 at Homestead Road (Hawaii Academy of Arts and Science)
• Highway 132 across from the New Hope Church Sign

Riders should use the Pāhoa bus schedule, and refer to the column marked “Pāhoa” for times for north- and south-bound travel.

Please anticipate longer travel times due to additional traffic and construction related activities along Highway 130. For further information, contact the Mass Transit Agency at 961-8343 or visit our website at www.heleonbus.org.
