Pouhala station (also known as the Waipahu Transit Center) is a Skyline metro station in Waipahu, Hawaiʻi.[3] It opened on June 30, 2023.[4][5]
In Hawaiian, "pouhala" means "pandanus post or pillar" and is the name of a former historically-important fishpond in the area and land division near Pearl Harbor, which today serves as a 70-acre wetland habitat for birds.[6][7] The Hawaiian Station Name Working Group proposed Hawaiian names for the nine rail stations on the ʻEwa end of the rail system (stations west of and including Aloha Stadium) in November 2017,[7] and HART adopted the proposed names on February 22, 2018.[8]
