Hawaii Transportation
By road
Hawaii has 4 federal highways: H-1, H-2, H-3, and H-201, all located on Oahu and all part of the Interstate Highway System. With the exception of H-201, which begins and ends on H-1, all the highways have at least one end point at or near a current or former military installation. A system of state highways encircles the other main islands as well as Oahu. Travel can be slow due to narrow winding roads.
By air
Aviation is an important part of Hawaii's transportation network, as most interisland travel takes place using commercial airlines. Hawaiian Airlines, Aloha Airlines, and go! use jets to travel between the larger commercial airports in Honolulu, Lihue, Kahului, Kona, and Hilo, while Island Air and Pacific Wings serve smaller airports. These airlines also provide air freight service between the islands.
By ship or ferry
Norwegian Cruise Lines provides American-flagged passenger cruise service between the islands. A company called Hawaii Superferry plans to connect the islands with a ferry system capable of transporting vehicles. Service is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2007 with routes from Oahu to Kauai and Maui. A route from Oahu to the Big Island is planned for 2009. Young Brothers provides barge service to transport goods between islands.
