List of Transit-Related Title VI Investigations,Complaints,and Lawsuits BMT will prepare and maintain a list of any of the following that allege discrimination on the basis of race, color,or national origin. • Active investigations conducted by FTA and entities other than FTA: • Lawsuits; and • Complaints naming the recipient. The list will include the date that the transit-related investigation, lawsuit,or complaint was filed; a summary of the allegation(s);the status of the investigation, lawsuit,or complaint; and actions taken by the recipient in response,or final findings of the investigation, lawsuit, or complaint.This list will be included in the Title VI Program submitted to FTA every three (3)years. Currently there are no pending transit-related investigations, lawsuits, or complaints to report. Additionally,there have been no transit-related investigations,lawsuits,or complaints within the last three(3)years. A form for listing transit-related investigations, lawsuits, and complaints relating to Title VI violations can be found at Appendix C to this document. Minority Representation on Committees and Councils Selected by the Recipient The City of Beaumont/BMT has no transit-related, non-elected planning boards, advisory councils or committees, or similar bodies,the membership of which is selected by the recipient. Procedures for Encouraging Inclusive Public Participation The following actions will be taken to encourage minority and LEP public participation in matters relating to public transportation: 1. All public notices regarding public transit business, including Title VI Notices, DBE Notices, Budget Notices, Grant Application Notices, Route and Fare Change Notices, Public Hearings, and any others not mentioned above,are to be posted at Dannenbaum Station,on transit revenue vehicles, at the BMT Administrative Office, in bus stop shelters,and at other applicable locations that would target minority and LEP persons. 2. After a demographic analysis of the transit service area (see Appendix A, LEP Plan), it was determined that Spanish speaking persons are the only LEP group that meet the DOJ threshold and therefore require that printed notices, maps,schedules,and other documentation be provided in Spanish.All posting locations listed above will then have notices posted in English and Spanish. 3. Targeted measures will be utilized for the Hispanic community by placing the above listed notices at institutional,cultural, historical,and economic locations relating to the Hispanic community. Locations would include schools (Fletcher Elementary), churches(Cristo Rey Catholic Church), Hispanic publications such as newspapers(La Voz), and broadcasting on Hispanic radio stations(KOLE). 4. If public meetings are involved,then every effort will be made to schedule those meetings at times and locations that would be convenient and accessible to minority and LEP communities. S. Being creative with meeting sizes and formats. 6. Coordinating with community,faith-based,educational,and other applicable organizations for input on public engagement strategies that reach out specifically to the affected minority and LEP communities. 7. Considering the use of radio,television, and newspaper ads on stations and in publications that serve the affected minority and LEP communities. 8. Providing alternative means for public participation to written communications such as personal interviews or use of audio/video recording device in order to capture oral comments. Service Standards(Background and Description) FTA requires that all fixed route transit providers of public transportation to develop quantitative standards for the following indicators. Individual public transportation providers will set these standards for their agencies;therefore,these standards will apply only to their specific agency rather than across the transit industry. • Vehicle Load for Each Mode:Generally expressed as the ration of passengers to the number of seats on a vehicle, relative to the vehicle's maximum load point. For example,on a 40 seat bus,a vehicle load of 1.3 means that all seats are filled and there are approximately 12 standees. Transit providers should specify vehicle loads for peak vs,off-peak times, and for different modes of transit. • Vehicle Headways for Each Mode:The amount of time between two vehicles traveling in the same direction on a given line or combination of lines. • On Time Performance:A measure of runs completed on schedule. • Service Availability for Each Mode:A general measure of the distribution of routes within an agency's service area. The following service standards have been developed for BMT. BMT operates both fixed route and complementary paratransit service. However,there are no peak vs.off-peak periods, as the number of vehicles operated remains constant throughout the daily service period.The mini-buses used for the paratransit service will never exceed a load factor of 1.0 since there are relatively few passengers on these vehicles at any given time due to the nature of the door-to-door service. Vehicle Load Factors AVERAGE PASSENGER CAPACITIES Vehicle Type Seated Standing Total Max. Load Factor Ford/Goshen 25'Mini Bus 22 0 22 1.0 Chevy/El Dorado 29' Mini-Bus 20 0 20 1.0 NABI 35'Low Floor Bus 30 12 42 1.4 Orion 3S'Low Floor Bus 31 12 43 1.4 Nova 35'Standard Bus 35 14 49 1.4 Vehicle Headways BMT operates fixed route service over nine routes Monday through Saturday.There is no Sunday service. Eight of the ten routes are paired and there are two single routes.As mentioned earlier,there are no peak, off-peak, day,or night periods where vehicle numbers on the street differ.The same number of vehicles are operated on the street during the entire service day.The number of vehicles operated in service for Saturdays is reduced from 12 fixed route to 9 fixed route,and from 5 parartransit to 2 paratransit. Headways do not apply to paratransit service as it is door-to-door.The headways for the fixed route buses are listed below: Weekdays Route Name Number of Buses Headways(minutes) Magnolia/Refinery 2 45/45 Parkdale/South Park 3 30/30/45 Calder/Pear Orchard 3 30/30/45 South Eleventh 2 30/45 Pine/Laurel 1 90 College 1 75 Saturdays Route Name Number of Buses Headways(minutes) Magnolia/Refinery 2 45/45 Parkdale/South Park 2 45/60 Calder/Pear Orchard 2 45/60 South Eleventh 1 75 Pine/Laurel 1 90 College 1 75 On Time Performance BMT's standard for on time performance is 90%or greater for fixed route and paratransit services. Fixed route buses are to be no more than two minutes early, or five minutes late at any given point on the route as compared to the published schedule and timetables. Paratransit vehicles are to be no earlier than two minutes,or no more than thirty minutes late for pick-ups and drop-offs as compared to their daily assigned schedules. On time performance of the transit system is continually monitored for the fixed route and paratransit services. Service Availability BMT has tried to spread fixed bus routes throughout the service area equally in order to ensure that all citizens, regardless of race,color, national origin,or socio-economic level, will have equal access to public transportation. It has been calculated that with existing bus routes and current population demographics in Beaumont, that 93%of the population live within a %mile walk to a bus route. Bus stops,where practical, have been placed approximately every two blocks along existing routes. Service Policies Reearding Vehicle Assienment and Transit Amenities FTA requires that all fixed route providers of public transportation develop quantitative policies for vehicle assignment and placement of transit amenities.These policies would apply to BMT individually and not to other transit agencies across the entire industry. BMT only operates one size of bus for fixed route service.All eighteen of the fixed route vehicles are 35 feet long. Fifteen of the buses are NABI low floor buses powered by CNG.These buses are approximately all 4 years old and are the primary fleet used every service day.There are three other older 35 foot long buses maintained as spares. One of them is a CNG powered, low floor Orion V bus.The other two are diesel powered,standard (high floor) Nova RTS buses.These buses are very rarely used since there are fifteen of the NABI buses and only twelve are required for daily service.All buses are equipped with air- conditioning, and the fifteen NABI buses are equipped with voice annunciation systems.All of the fixed route buses are wheel chair accessible with kneelers.The fifteen NABI buses and one Orion V bus have low floors and deployable ramps.The two Nova buses have front door lifts built into the front steps. Therefore, no discrimination exists to any BMT passenger in regards to bus size, bus age,accessibility, fuel type,air-conditioning,or voice annunciation systems because the same NABI bus is operated on all routes. BMT only has one office/maintenance facility and only one transfer facility, Dannenbaum Station.All bus routes start and end at Dannenbaum Station. Dannenbaum Station is equipped with public restrooms, a water fountain,and covered seating and boarding areas.The entire facility is accessible to the disabled. Other amenities,such as covered shelters and benches have been installed at various locations along the fixed bus routes.These amenities are placed at bus stops based on the number of passenger boardings per day,or in some cases, usage by a high percentage of disabled or elderly passengers. Appendix A Language Assistance Plan for Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Persons Served by BMT BEAUMONT MUNICIPAL TRANSIT (BMT) SYSTEM LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN FOR LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT ( LEP) PERSONS SERVED BY BMT BASED ON THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) FOUR STEP ANALYSIS PROCESS Factor 1 — Number and Portion of LEP Persons Served or Encountered in the Eligible Service Population Task 1, Step 1 — Examine Prior Experiences with LEP Individuals Vehicle operators, as well as transit staff, were all asked about their contacts with LEP persons utilizing the transit service. This included any contacts on the fixed route and paratransit services, as well as any individuals calling the BMT office by phone, a-mails to the BMT website, actual visits to the BMT office, or attendance at any public hearings or meetings conducted by BMT. It was determined that very rarely, a bus operator has encountered an LEP person on the fixed route or paratransit service. Staff could not recall any LEP person ever contacting our website, calling in on the telephone, or attending any public hearing or meeting. Again, very rarely, LEP persons have walked into the office to obtain information, purchase a bus pass, or to conduct other business. On these rare occasions, all of the LEP persons involved have been Hispanic. Even with limited English, communications have always been possible. There has never been a request for information and/or printed material in another language. Task 1 , Step 2 — Become familiar with U.S. Census Data U.S. Census data from 2010 ( Attachment A) shows that the population of Beaumont is 118,296 and that persons of Hispanic or Latino origin comprise 13.4% of the population, or 15,851 people. People who speak a language other than English total 11,643 and out of these, 7,533 speak Spanish. Out of these individuals who speak Spanish, 3,559 speak English "less than very well." Another 2,075 speak other Indo-European languages with 575 of then speaking English "less than very well." Those who speak Asian and Pacific Island languages number 1,748 with 699 of them speaking English "less than very well." Task 1, Step 2A — Identify Geographic Boundaries The geographic boundary of current transit service is the city limits of Beaumont, Texas. This is the same geographic boundary from which U.S. Census data was obtained. Therefore, BMT does not provide service to other census tracts other than Beaumont, Texas. Task 1, Step 26 — Obtain Census Data of LEP Population in Your Service Area This data was already obtained in Step 2A above and is located at Attachment A. Task1, Step 2C — Analyze the Data Collected In analyzing the U.S. Census data obtained in Step 1 above, it was determined that Spanish speaking persons that speak English "less than very well" were the only group that fell under the Department of Justice (DOJ) Safe Harbor Provision which has been adopted by DOT. This provision outlines circumstances that can provide a "safe harbor" for recipients regarding the translation of written materials for LEP populations. This provision stipulates that if a recipient provides written translation of vital documents for each LEP eligible language group that constitutes five (5) percent or 1,000 persons, whichever is less, of the total population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered, then such action will be considered strong evidence of compliance with the recipient's written translation obligations. Translation of non-vital documents, if needed, can be provided orally. If there are fewer than 50 people in a language group that reaches the five (5) percent trigger, the recipient is not required to translate vital written materials but should provide written notice in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of those written materials, free of cost. In addition, the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) has provided 2010 American Community Survey maps for 5307 Urbanized Areas. This data, located at Attachment B, shows that in Beaumont, 92,234 persons speak English, 10,577 speak Spanish, 833 speak Vietnamese, and 640 speak other languages. This also verifies that there are no other LEP language groups in Beaumont that exceed five (5) percent of the total population or number 1,000 or more as described in the Safe Harbor Provision other than those who speak Spanish. Task 1. Step 2D — Identify any Concentrations of LEP Persons Within Your Service Area The Hispanic population in Beaumont is generally concentrated in the neighborhood known as "The Avenues" which surrounds the Fletcher Elementary School and is served by the Christo Rey Catholic Church. A U.S. Census tract map is located at Attachment C which shows this area. The only other LEP population of any size in Beaumont, the Asians, are concentrated in this same area of town. Task 1, Step 3 — Consult State and Local Sources of Data As suggested by the LEP Analysis Handbook, the Department of Labor (DOL) data from the local Workforce Investment Area was consulted. However, this data is not helpful because it comprises way too large of an area to determine the number of LEP persons that would use transit in the Beaumont area. Instead of contacting the State Department of Education, the Beaumont Independent School District Communications Department was contacted. They referred us to the Principal of Fletcher Elementary School in order to secure data on LEP children and/or their families. She provided us with data from Fletcher Elementary. Task 1, Step 3 — Reach Out to Community Organizations That Serve LEP Persons The following community organizations were contacted: 1. The local Cinco de Mayo Council of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). 2. Beaumont Independent School District (BISD). 3. Catholic Diocese of Beaumont. Task 1, Step 4A — Identify Community Organizations From the community organizations contacted above, the following additional organizations and individuals which serve LEP persons within the community were identified: 1. La Voz, the local Hispanic newspaper. 2. Radio Station KOLE 1340. 3. Roberto Castillo, owner of the above two entities. 4. Christo Rey Catholic Church and Father Luis Urriza. 5. Templo Bautista. 6. Director of the Hispanic Ministry of the Diocese of Beaumont, Jesus Abrego. 7. Roberto Flores, President of the local council of LULAC. 8. HOPE, a Fletcher Elementary organization of parents. 9. Anita Frank, Principal of Fletcher Elementary. 10. Mercado Family Grocery Store. Task 1, Step 413 — Contact Relevant Community Organizations All of the above identified community organizations and individuals were contacted either by telephone or letter. They were informed that BMT is making efforts to better serve the LEP segment of the population of Beaumont which utilizes transit service. They all were asked for feedback regarding the size of the LEP population that utilizes transit service, the transportation needs and any other needs of the LEP population, any demographic trends, and ways to affect feedback from the LEP population. Factor 2: The Frequency With Which LEP Individuals Come In Contact With BMT Programs, Activities, and Services Task 2, Step 1 — Review the Relevant Programs, Activities, and Service Provided By BMT By being a small urban transit system, BMT has very few if any programs and activities. Primarily, BMT provides transit service over fixed routes and through the Special Transit Service (STS) for disabled individuals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Therefore, LEP persons would most likely come into contact with BMT through the fixed route or paratransit services. Additionally, BMT sells bus passes and tickets, as well as providing literature such as bus schedules and maps, application forms and instruction booklets for the STS Program, and provides general information on the transit system by telephone, website, and for walk-ins at the BMT Office. Task 2, Step 2 — Review Information Obtained From Community Organizations A lot of great suggestions were obtained from the organizations and individuals identified above. The following is a summary of their suggestions: 1. Printed material such as bus schedules, maps, application forms, instructional booklets, and any others handed out to the public should be printed in Spanish. 2. Any written announcements for public hearings or other transit related business printed in the local newspaper should be sent to La Voz, the local Hispanic newspaper, for publication and to radio Station KOLE 1340 for broadcast in Spanish. 3. These same announcements should be sent to the parental group HOPE, the local Catholic Church, LULAC, and other relevant Hispanic Community organizations for distribution. 4. Announcements should be posted in Spanish at the local grocery store, Mercado. 5. Signs on buses or at Dannenbaum Station should be in Spanish as well as English. 6. Have translation services available either through staff or some type of volunteer group. 7. Use the Hispanic newspaper, La Voz, for help in translating documents. 8. Have a group meeting with all of the Hispanic organizations and leaders in the community in order to educate them in regards to all the services offered by BMT. 9. Have emergency information, such as evacuation procedures, translated to Spanish on radio, television, and website. The current College and South Park fixed bus routes serve the areas of town inhabited by the majority of the Hispanic population. Most of the Hispanics who use transit service utilize the fixed routes and a small number utilize the paratransit service. Exposure to transit services is most probably on a daily basis for these individuals. Exactly how many Hispanic passengers utilize transit is unknown, as well as how many have LEP. None of the groups or individuals contacted could provide specific numbers. Even though there has not been any big problem with LEP individuals utilizing public transit in Beaumont, many of the community organizations felt that by taking the steps listed earlier to reach out to those LEP individuals in the community, more of them would utilize transit. Task 2, Step 3 — Consult Directly With LEP Persons Trying to meet directly with LEP persons in the community was found to be too difficult and not really necessary. It was concluded by BMT in conjunction with the community organizations and leaders that going through them would be far more efficient and successful. Many LEP individuals may be illegal and therefore not very trusting in meeting directly with BMT staff. The identified community organizations and leaders would be far more successful in communicating with the LEP population. Factor 3: The Importance to LEP Persons of Services Offered by BMT Obviously, public transportation services are crucial in the everyday lives of individuals who depend upon it for transportation, regardless if they are LEP or not. The ability to effectively use public transportation could adversely affect a person's ability to obtain healthcare, education, access to employment. LEP persons who depend upon public transportation for everyday activities could possibly be hindered from utilizing available public transportation services because of the language barrier. Therefore, BMT has made a commitment to work with organizations and individuals who represent the LEP community and take steps to make transportation services more user friendly and understandable for the LEP population. Task 3— Step 1: Identify Your Agency's Most Critical Services Three critical services provided by BMT have been identified. Those are: 1. Fixed Route Service 2. Special Transit Service (STS) 3. Emergency Services to Include Evacuation Consequences of LEP individuals not being able to utilize any of these services to to language barriers could be catastrophic, even life threatening. Task 3, Step 2 — Review Input From Community Organizations and LEP Individuals Based on information obtained from organizations and individuals listed earlier in this document, all three critical services, fixed route, STS, and emergency services were identified being of great importance to the LEP population. Fixed route services would be important in providing transportation for everyday needs such as access to work, school, medical treatment, shopping, and recreation. The STS service is important in providing transportation to those LEP individuals not able to ride on the fixed route service due to a qualifying disability under ADA. Many of these individuals have life threatening illnesses and require transportation to dialysis and other major treatment centers. And finally, emergency services, primarily evacuation because of hurricanes, are extremely important in providing transit dependent LEP individuals with a way out of town to a safe location. BMT plays a major role in the city's emergency management plan. Factor 4: The Resources Available to the Recipient and Costs The final step is to weigh the demand for language assistance against BMT's current and projected financial and personnel resources. Factor 4, Step 1 — Inventory Language Assitance Measures Currently Beim Provided by BMT, Along With Associated Costs Currently, BMT provides no language assistance measures for any LEP groups or individuals. Factor 4, Step 2 — Determine What, if Am Additional Services are Needed to Provide Meaningful Access Based on the previous analysis of demographics for the BMT service area, and the suggestions submitted by community organizations and individuals representing the LEP population, it was determined that there is a Spanish speaking segment of the population that has limited proficiency in English. Due to the LEP status of these individuals, they may be experiencing limited access to public transportation. Therefore, the recommendations listed in Task 2, Step 2 should be added to the services provided by BMT in order to make access to public transportation easier for any persons in the above category. Task 4, Step 3: Analyze the Budget Printing Supplements to Current Maps/ Schedules in Spanish $ 500.00 Printing STS Booklets in Spanish $1,000.00 Printing STS Applications in Spanish $ 500.00 Publishing Notices/Public Hearings in La Voz $1,200.00 Public Service Messages on Radio FREE Dual Language Signage $ 500.00 Dual Language on Electronic Destination Signs FREE Mailing Costs for Announcements to Different Organizations $ 100.00 Translation Services $1,000.00 Dual Language on Website FREE TOTAL $4,800.00 These costs are not considered excessive or restrictive and have been determined to be paid out of the annual operating budget. Task 4, Step 4: Consider Cost Effective Practices for Providing Language Services Since BMT is a unique system to itself and has organizational specific maps, schedules, forms, etc., then bilingual products developed by other agencies would not be appropriate for use. BMT does intend to solicit help in written and oral translation from qualified community volunteers. Efforts will be made to obtain their help at no charge to the transit system. Public hearing announcements, route changes, fare changes, press releases, and all other pertinent information needing to be disseminated to the public will be formatted as public service announcements when possible resulting in free publication or free airtime.
