Title
Draft June 2021 Bus Service Change Update
Overview
Based on Federal Transit Administration Title VI requirements, the June 2021 bus service change requires a public hearing. This requirement includes an equity analysis and a public hearing for major bus service changes that have been in place for 12 months or longer. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, an emergency bus service change was implemented in March 2020, it was subsequently refined in June and October 2020, and remains in place as of February 2021. To meet these requirements, a public hearing is planned for April 2021, and recommendations are presented to the Board of Directors to initiate this process.
Recommendation(s)
A. Direct staff to implement a public outreach program on the June 2021 Bus Service Change and solicit feedback for the development of the fiscal year 2021-22 Bus Service Plan.
B. Direct staff to return to the Board of Directors with outreach results in April 2021.
