Title

June 2021 Bus Service Change

 

Overview

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, emergency bus service changes were implemented in March 2020, with refinements subsequently implemented in June and October 2020.  These service changes have remained in place through the February 2021 bus service change. Based on Federal Transit Administration Title VI requirements and Orange County Transportation Authority policy, the upcoming June 2021 bus service change required a public hearing. This requirement also included an equity analysis for major bus service changes that have been in place for 12 months or longer. The public hearing was conducted on April 26, 2021, and the final June 2021 bus service change has been developed based on input received.

 

Recommendation(s)

A.                     Approve the final June 2021 bus service change and direct staff to begin implementation.

 

B.                     Receive and file the June 2021 Bus Service Change Public Involvement Program Final Report.

 

C.                     Direct the Executive Director of Planning, or his designee, to file a Notice of Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act related to the bus service change.
