Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

Discussion and possible action to readopt Title VI 1964 Civil Rights Plan (Title VI) for year 2026 as required by Federal government, and designating the Webb County Judge as the authorized official to execute all relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto. The submittal and re-adoption of the Title VI Plan incorporates a Limited English Proficiency Plan (LEP) into the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Region Office. This Title VI plan has been reviewed by Webb County Civil Legal and/or shall be presented for review and 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 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 and re-adoption of the Title VI Plan requirements by the respective designated board/court, and submit the newly re-adopted Title VI Program/LEP Plan to FTA to continue grant funding for Web County CAA EL Aguila Rural Transit. Result: Compliance with FTA with proper documentation fully executed with approvals that secure grant funding for the next three years.
