We are still in discussions and exploring ideas,” Murdock said. “We are looking into possibilities of using the Safe Travels technology for other things, perhaps being used in the visitor industry. The state’s chief information officer, Doug Murdock, said the Safe Travels web application is being retained, along with its codes, configurations and workflow, in case there is a need to restart the program.

Hara, who directed National Guard troops to boost the state’s COVID-19 response, said if the state wanted to reinstate Safe Travels Hawaii as previously designed, it would need to contract out for everything. Still, state leaders have begun convening to determine the next generation of Safe Travels, Hawaii’s $37 million-plus pandemic-era travel policy, which ended March 25. Kenneth Hara, director of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, says it’s unlikely the state would ever reinstate Safe Travels Hawaii in its current form.
