Kalauao station (also known as Pearlridge station) is a Skyline metro station in Waimalu, Hawaiʻi, serving the Pearlridge Center shopping mall.[2] The station is located in the median of Kamehameha Highway above its intersection with Kaonohi Street. It opened on June 30, 2023[3][4] with a temporary 16-space park and ride lot.[5]
In Hawaiian, "kalauao" means "the multitude of clouds" and is the name of the ahupuaʻa in which it is located.[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,[8] and HART adopted the proposed names on February 22, 2018.[9] The Hawaiian name initially proposed for the station, Puʻuloa, means "long hill" and refers to an ʻili that marked the entrance to the bays of Puʻuloa.[8]
