February 2026 OC Bus Service Change/Public Hearing Preview for the OC Bus  
Route 862 Title VI Service Evaluation and Fare Equity Analysis  
Eric Hoch/Rose Casey  
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comply with a route discontinuation that will be superseded by the OC Streetcar service.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.  
Recommendation(s)  
A.  
Receive and file the February 2026 OC Bus service change as an information item.  
B.  
Receive and file public input on the OC Bus Route 862 Title VI service evaluation  
and fare equity analysis.  
C.  
Direct staff to finalize and submit the OC Bus Route 862 Title VI service and fare  
equity analysis to the Federal Transit Administration, consistent with the full funding  
grant agreement.
