RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt resolution approving City of Lodi 2019 Title Vl Program and
Language Assistance Plan.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi's Title Vl Program is a requirement for United
States Department of Transportation (DOT) funding, including
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) funding. Section 601, under Title Vl 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 4702.18 and FHWA 23 CFR Part 200 provide recipients of FTA and FHWA federal
financial assistance with guidance and instructions to carry out DOT's Title Vl regulations, 49 CFR Part
21. City of Lodi is updating its Title Vl Program and Language Assistance Plan to be compliant with
FTA's requirement that programs be updated every three years.
The City's current, approved Title Vl program was adopted on December 21,2016 and focused
specifically on Transit and FTA requirements. This updated program includes minor revisions that
combine FTA requirements with FHWA requirements.
The Title Vl Program and Language Assistance Plan will be on file in the Public Works Department and
available both on the main City webpage and the Transit webpage.
Once approved by the City Council, the document will be submitted to FTA for review and final approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the City of Lodi Title Vl Program and Language Assistance Plan
is required for continued FTA and FHWA funding.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable
