# Hawaiʻi DOT Expands Hazard Alerts Statewide

On October 6, 2026, the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) announced that it is expanding its H.E.L.P.® digital hazard-alert deployment from Oʻahu to HDOT highway vehicles across four islands. Alerts are delivered through navigation apps and in-vehicle systems when vehicle light bars activate; Sustainability Partners and Emergency Safety Solutions are identified as participants. The announcement provides no contract value, solicitation, or contract number, so it signals a transportation-safety deployment rather than an open bid opportunity.

- The expansion’s stated scope involves highway vehicles across four islands and integration with navigation apps and in-vehicle systems.
- Firms offering connected-vehicle alerts, fleet technology, or roadway-worker safety solutions can use the deployment as a market signal for similar state transportation needs; the announcement does not specify a procurement process or vendor responsibilities.
- Procurement professionals should distinguish this deployment announcement from a solicitation: no bid deadline, contract value, or contract number is disclosed.
