Discussion and possible action to readopt the Title VI 1964 Civil Rights Plan (Title VI) for the benefit of the Webb County Community Action Agency (El Aguila Rural Transportation) and submit the Title VI Plan that incorporates a Limited English Proficiency Plan (LEP) to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Region Office; said plan will be presented for review and possible approval by the Webb County CAA Advisory Board and Texas Department of Transportation. There will be no impact to the General Fund.
Issue: FTA requires that every three (3) years transit systems receiving federal financial assistance to update their Title VI Plan (LEP included) in the form of a revised Title VI circular to grant recipients, which requires careful evaluation of the impact of proposed services and fare changes on minority riders.
Solution: Obtain approval by the respective designated board/court, submit Title VI Program/LEP Plan to FTA to continue grant funding.
Result: Compliance with FTA with proper documentation fully executed with approvals that secures grant funding for the next three years.
