LIHU‘E - The County of Kaua‘i Transportation Agency will be accepting applications from Kaua‘i-based non-profit organizations for its Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program Monday, August 4, to Monday, August 18.

The intent of the Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program is to provide assistance with bus passes to low-income households and individuals with transportation needs through eligible non-profit organizations.

“The outreach program helps uplift the many organizations doing impactful work across Kaua‘i,” said Transportation Agency Executive Celia Mahikoa. “By sharing their message through our transit system, we hope to connect more residents with resources, services, and opportunities that strengthen our community.”

To be eligible, applicants must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, applications must be submitted via the Kaua‘i County Connect online system, connect.kauai.gov site by clicking on the Kaua‘i Bus icon, then on the Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program Application icon.

Applications must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on August 18 to be considered for the 2025 outreach cycle.

All applications will be reviewed and scored by a selection panel. Scoring will be based on the applicant’s program information, including what service the applicant provides to the community and how many community members would benefit from the Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program.
