Civil Beat/HNN Poll: Majority Of Oahu Voters Oppose Rail Project - Honolulu Civil Beat Civil Beat/HNN Poll: Majority Of Oahu Voters Oppose Rail Project But 44% say it should go to all the way to Ala Moana Center instead of shortening the 20-mile route. Reading time: 7 minutes. The largest public works project in Hawaii history is opposed by 53% of registered voters on Oahu, with just 34% expressing support for Honolulu rail. The numbers are similar when voters living on the neighbor islands are factored in 50% and 35%, respectively. Although rail is funded primarily through a general excise tax surcharge in the City and County of Honolulu, a 1 percentage point increase on Hawaii’s hotel room tax statewide also goes to support the project through 2030.
