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.

MEETING DATE: April 9, 2013
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution approving the award of a bid
to Allco LLC of Beaumont in the amount of$12,330,865
for South Park Drainage Improvements.
BACKGROUND
A grant from the Texas Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Disaster Recovery
Program for areas impacted by Hurricane Ike was awarded for drainage improvements to the
South Park area. The project will install additional storm sewer boxes and pipes connecting them
