Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 210 / Wednesday, November 3, 2021 / Notices

6. The Title VI Circular provides two

data analysis options for conducting a

service equity analysis: Using

population data or using ridership data.

Should FTA provide additional options

for conducting a service or fare equity

analysis? If so, what alternatives should

FTA consider?

7. The Title VI Circular provides that

service equity is measured based on

access to public transit service. Is this

measure sufficient to ensure equity, or

should it be measured by destinations,

such as how many jobs riders can access

from a particular stop within a specified

time, or how long it takes to get to

grocery stores, medical facilities, and

other critical destinations, or by some

other measure?

8. The Title VI Circular provides that

temporary service changes (12 months

or less) and temporary fare reductions (6

months or less) do not respectively

require service and fare equity analyses.

Should FTA reconsider these

timeframes? Should FTA require some

analysis during temporary changes to

consider the equity impacts of the

temporary changes?

Facility Equity Analyses

9. The Title VI Circular, with regard

to the determination of site or location

of facilities, requires a Title VI facility

equity analysis, in which a recipient

must analyze the proposed location of

certain facilities to ensure there is no

disparate impact in the siting decision.

FTA provides limited guidance in the

Circular on this topic but does require

a comparison of equity impacts of

various siting alternatives and an

analysis before the selection of the

preferred site. Should FTA provide

additional guidance on facility equity

analyses, including public participation,

disparate impact thresholds, cumulative

effects, or timeframes? Would

stakeholders find it helpful if FTA

published a sample facility equity

analysis, similar to the sample SAFE

analyses, in the Appendix to the

Circular?

10. These facility equity analyses are

conducted prior to site selection, but

they are submitted to FTA as part of a

recipient’s Title VI program once every

three years. Due to this gap in time, FTA

may not become aware of facility siting

and related equity analyses until years

after they have been constructed or

conducted. Should FTA require a

facility equity analysis be posted on a

recipient’s website or submitted to FTA

prior to site selection, in addition to

submission with the recipient’s Title VI

program? If so, how soon after an

analysis is conducted or before a change

is approved or implemented should

FTA require posting or submission?

Implementation of Rider Conduct

Policies

11. The Title VI Circular currently

makes no mention of equitable

implementation of rider conduct

policies, such as prohibitions on

smoking, littering, loitering, eating on

vehicles, evading fares, or playing music

loudly. Given the potential for disparate

impacts on the basis of race, color, or

national origin in the implementation of

these policies, which is prohibited by

DOT Title VI regulations, FTA is

considering how to address these topics.

To ensure compliance with Title VI,

how should FTA address the equitable

implementation of rider conduct

policies?

Technical Resources for Analyzing

Disparate Impact

12. FTA Regional Civil Rights Officers

and Headquarters staff field many

technical assistance requests from

transit providers asking how to

determine disparate impact and how to

evaluate service and fare changes for

equity. These include transit providers

who do not yet meet the Chapter IV

thresholds that require SAFE analyses

or demographic data collection and

reporting. What commendable practices

are transit providers, and in particular

smaller providers not subject to the

Chapter IV requirements, using to

review their policies and practices to

ensure their service and fare changes do

not result in disparate impacts on the

basis of race, color, or national origin?

Additional Title VI Circular Feedback

13. Should FTA consider

incorporating guidance and instructions

into the Title VI Circular on topics or

policy matters not discussed in the

questions above or not currently

covered in the Circular? If so, what are

those topics or policy matters? What

commendable practices should FTA

consider including? FTA welcomes any

additional feedback on the Title VI

Circular, including topics not listed in

the questions above.

All interested parties are encouraged

to respond to this RFI. Submissions are

strictly voluntary. Individuals or entities

responding to this RFI should state their

role as well as knowledge of and

experience with Title VI and the Title VI

Circular. FTA may request additional

clarifying information from any or all

respondents. If a respondent does not

wish to be contacted by FTA for

additional information, a statement to

that effect should be included in the

response. All information submitted

should be unclassified and should not

contain proprietary information.

FTA is not obligated to officially

respond to the information received, but

the responses will assist FTA in

developing proposed Title VI Circular

changes.
