From the Master Plan (commissioned at a cost of $500K), page 91:
In fiscal year 2015, The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) received a total of $220,793,293 from the GET surcharge. This equates to a per capita amount of $222.62 for Oahu's 2014 population of 991,788. Hawaii County's population in 2016 was estimated at 198,449. Halving the Honolulu per capita amount to $111.31 would equate to $22,089,358 annual GET surcharge revenue to the County.
