SUBJECT:

Resolution No. (R)16-38, adopting the Oro Valley Transit Services Division Title VI Plan

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval.

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; however, this update more clearly defines the regional plan and process.

This Oro Valley Transit Services Division Plan repeals and replaces the division Title VI Policy that was adopted on April 27, 2010, Resolution 1023.

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 Notice to the Public, the complaint procedures and contacts, and defines the regional process. The plan also includes the division’s Public Participation Plan and Limited English Proficiency Plan.

This plan, if adopted, has been reviewed by ADOT and certified to meet ADOT’s Civil Rights Office Title VI requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This plan is required by ADOT to receive FTA 5310 grant funding. ADOT has recommended that the Town of Oro Valley receive $104,634 in grant funds for the purchase of three new vehicles, and $14,426 for the purchase of software to enhance passenger scheduling. This plan must be adopted to remain eligible for this funding.

SUGGESTED MOTION:

I MOVE to (adopt or deny) Resolution No. (R)16-38, adopting the Oro Valley Transit Services Division Title VI Plan.
