Information
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)18-03, adopting the Oro Valley Transit Services Division Title VI Plan Update
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. (R)18-03, which would allow the Town of Oro Valley Dial-a-Ride service to remain in compliance with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Title VI Nondiscrimination requirements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Oro Valley Sun Shuttle Dial-a-Ride is a recipient of federal funds and resources and must comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) requirements. This update specifies that Oro Valley Sun Shuttle Dial-a-Ride is subject to and complies with the regional Title VI nondiscrimination program and complaint process. Compliance with the regional program is not a change, and this update includes more recent communication to keep the public informed of Dial-a-Ride services and changes. This update also includes more recent demographics of Limited English speaking households in the town.

This Oro Valley Transit Services Division Plan repeals and replaces the division Title VI Policy that was adopted on September 6, 2017.
 
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:

Oro Valley Sun Shuttle Dial-a-Ride has applied for federal grants under the FTA 5310 program. ADOT administers this program for Arizona recipients and requires updates and inclusions in the Oro Valley Transit Services Division Title VI program. This plan updates the following items:

1. The 2017 complaint/investigation log (there were no complaints/investigations in 2017 or 2018)
2. Updates recent communication to the public on Oro Valley Sun Shuttle service
3. Updates the demographics of Limited English speaking households in the Town
4. Updates the Transit Division Organizational Chart

This plan, if adopted, has been reviewed by ADOT and is certified to meet ADOT’s Civil Rights Office Title VI requirements. Newly adopted requirements from the state require the annual approval of the Transit Services Division Title VI and Limited English Proficiency Plan.
 

FISCAL IMPACT:
This plan is required by ADOT to ensure our eligibility to receive FTA 5310 grant funding. The Town is submitting a grant application for a total of $357,000 for the purchase of five new vehicles, preventative maintenance expenses for disabled passenger accessible vehicles and driver training. If approved, ADOT would provide $285,600 in funding with $71,400 required as local match. These projects and associated funding expenditures are consistent with the FY 2018 approved budget.
 
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (approve/deny) Resolution No. (R)18-03, authorizing and approving the Town of Oro Valley Transportation Division Title VI Plan as updated.
