REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO ESTABLISH A TOWING AUTHORITY TO MANAGE TOWING SERVICES AND TOWING CONTRACTS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY AND COUNTY.

SCR 236 is a non-binding resolution requesting Honolulu to create a central towing authority to manage towing contracts and services. It addresses concerns about overcharging, citing a 2023 incident where a towing company charged $900 for 15 minutes of service, and aims to ensure fair pricing for residents. The resolution urges Honolulu to divide Oahu into districts, contract multiple towing companies per district, and cancel existing towing contracts where possible. This would shift oversight from individual contracts to a centralized system for greater transparency and efficiency.
