AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving City of Lodi Title VI Program for Transit Services
MEETING DATE: August 7, 2013
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving City of Lodi Title VI Program for Transit
Services.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi's Title VI Program is a Civil Rights requirement for
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding. Section 601 under
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states the following: "No
person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity
receiving Federal financial assistance."
FTA Circular 4702.1 B provides recipients of FTA financial assistance with guidance and instructions to
carry out U.S. Department of Transportation Title VI regulations (49 CFR part 21). City of Lodi is
updating the GrapeLine Fixed Route, Dial -A -Ride, and VineLine Systems Title VI Program and
Language Assistance Plan to be compliant with recent changes to the FTA Circular 4702.1 B. The
primary Circular update is the requirement for the transit operation's governing board to approve the
Title VI Program.
The Title VI Program is on file in the Public Works Department and available on the City's website.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the City of Lodi Title VI Program is required for continued FTA
funding.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
