February 2026 OC Bus Service Change/Public Hearing Preview for the OC Bus Route 862 Title VI Service Evaluation and Fare Equity Analysis
overview
Overview
The February 2026 OC Bus service change recommends minor adjustments consistent with the regular service change process. In conjunction with the February service change, a Title VI (Civil Rights Act of 1964) service evaluation and fare equity analysis is needed to comply with a route discontinuation that will be superseded by the OC Streetcar service. As a recipient of a full funding grant agreement, the Orange County Transportation Authority is required to conduct a Federal Transit Administration compliant Title VI analysis six months prior to the service change implementation. Staff has completed this analysis and following the required public hearing, is requesting the Board of Directors’ approval to submit the service and fare equity Title VI analysis to the Federal Transit Administration.
