Youth voices are often absent in transportation planning processes—even though today’s decisions shape the infrastructure they will inherit. This session highlights an innovative partnership between the Oʻahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (OʻahuMPO) and the University of Hawaiʻi Uehiro Academy for Philosophy and Ethics in Education (UHUA), which dramatically increased youth participation in the regional transportation planning process. Presenters will share a case study showing how this multi-year collaboration increased youth participation in the ORTP 2045 update process from less than 1% to 25%. This initiative revitalizes an aspiration that grew out of progressive era planning practice by offering a model for integrating education into the long-term civic infrastructure of planning. When fully constructed, the resulting onramps will offer persistent two-way access points connecting youth to diverse planning processes across the state.
