Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the federal law that protects individuals and groups from discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Title VI established a standard that outlawed discrimination in the conduct of all federal activities. Another concern was that high and adverse environmental impacts of private or governmental actions might fall disproportionately on populations protected by Title VI. With this concern in mind, Executive Order 12898 was issued in 1994 to establish requirements for environmental justice to ensure that everyone within the U.S. receives equal protection under the law. Executive Order 12898 directed each federal agency to review its procedures and to make environmental justice part of its mission by identifying and addressing the effect of all programs, policies, and activities on minority populations.
All programs and activities of entities that receive federal financial assistance must also comply with Executive Order 13166 “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency.” All recipients of federal funds must take reasonable steps to ensure that limited English proficient (LEP) persons have meaningful access to its programs, services, and information provided. Persons who do not speak English as their primary language and have a limited ability to read, speak, write, or understand English may be considered LEP.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued Title VI Regulations (49 CFR part 21) to ensure that no person is excluded from or denied the benefits of, or otherwise subjected to discrimination, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance from the DOT. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is an agency within the DOT that provides financial and technical assistance to state and local public transit systems. FTA Circular 4702.1B provides recipients of FTA financial assistance with guidance and instructions necessary to carry out the DOT Title VI Regulations and to integrate into their programs and activities principles of environmental justice and access to services for persons with limited English proficiency.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department is a recipient of federal funds from the FTA and must follow the guidance included in FTA Circular 4702.1B. This report serves two purposes:
1) to provide an assessment of current compliance by Fort Bend County with the requirements of Title VI pursuant to FTA Circular 4702.1B; and
2) to establish procedures for future Title VI compliance.
This document is organized into seven sections following this introduction. The material covered in each section is described as follows:
• Section 1 provides an overview for the guidance and instructions in FTA Circular 4702.1B.
• Section 2 includes information about the population demographics for Fort Bend County and highlights the transit services and programs sponsored by the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department.
• Section 3 discusses the sources and types of data used in assessing compliance with Title VI. Maps illustrating the outcomes of the assessment are also presented.
• Section 4 looks more specifically at what languages other than English are spoken at home by Fort Bend County residents and gages the extent to which these populations access transit services.
• Section 5 presents a statement of policy for compliance with Title VI, instructions for how a member of the public may file a discrimination complaint, and procedures for tracking and investigating Title VI complaints.
• Section 6 documents the types of public information about transit services currently provided by the Public Transportation Department and summarizes public outreach and involvement activities. The LEP Plan is included in Section 6.
• Section 7 provides system-wide service standards and policies in compliance with the FTA Circular 4702.1B program-specific guidance for recipients that provide transit service in a large urban area.
Appendices include demographic data by census tracts in Fort Bend County, summaries of public outreach activities, a copy of the Title VI Complaint Form (in English and Spanish), and other relevant documentation.
The purpose of this section is to provide an overview for the guidance and instructions in FTA Circular 4702.1B. The circular applies to all recipients of FTA financial assistance. Compliance with the guidance and instructions is addressed in Sections 3 through 7 of this document.
Consistent with DOT Title VI Regulations and the principles of environmental justice and access to services for persons with limited English proficiency, the FTA Circular 4702.1B sets forth the following objectives:
• Ensure that the level and quality of transportation service is provided without regard to race, color, or national origin;
• Identify and address, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects, including social and economic effects of programs and activities on minority populations and low-income populations;
• Promote the full and fair participation of all affected populations in transportation decision making;
• Prevent the denial, reduction, or delay in benefits related to programs and activities that benefit minority populations or low-income populations; and
• Ensure meaningful access to programs and activities by persons with limited English proficiency.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department must follow FTA Circular 4702.1B general requirements to ensure that programs, policies, and activities comply with DOT Title VI Regulations. These requirements include:
• Submit an annual Title VI assurance as part of the annual Certification and Assurance to FTA;
• Notify beneficiaries of protection under Title VI;
• Develop Title VI complaint procedures for investigating and tracking Title VI complaints and make procedures for filing a complaint available to members of the public;
• Prepare and maintain a list of any active Title VI investigations, complaints, and lawsuits conducted by entities other than FTA; and
• Ensure meaningful access to LEP persons by developing and carrying out a language implementation plan.
FTA requires the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department to prepare and submit a Title VI Program to FTA every three years. The program is required to include the following information:
• Evidence of notice to the public that the Public Transportation Department complies with Title VI and instructions to the public on how to file a discrimination complaint;
• Procedures for tracking and investigating Title VI complaints;
• List of any Title VI investigations, complaints, or lawsuits;
• Summary of public outreach and involvement activities and steps undertaken to ensure that minority and low-income people have meaningful access to these activities; and
• Plan for providing language assistance for persons with limited English proficiency.
The FTA Circular 4702.1B has program-specific guidance for recipients that, “operate 50 or more fixed route vehicles in peak service and are located in an Urbanized Area (UZA) of 200,000 or more people.” While Fort Bend County Public Transportation does not operate 50 or more fixed route vehicles at peak service hours or any other time, service is provided within the Houston urbanized area (population 4,944,332 in 2010). Because of its operating environment, Fort Bend County Public Transportation chooses to adhere to the following guidance for monitoring the population it serves:
• Collect demographic data and produce maps showing the extent to which members of minority groups and low-income populations are beneficiaries of transit services;
• Monitor transit service throughout the county through analysis of demographic data;
• Adopt quantitative system-wide service standards to guard against discriminatory service design or operations decisions;
• Adopt system-wide service policies necessary to guard against service design and operational policies that have disparate impacts; and
• Evaluate significant system wide service and fare changes and proposed improvements at the planning and programming stages to determine whether those changes have discriminatory impact and submit results of service and/or fare equity analyses conducted since the last Title VI Program submission, including evidence that the board or other governing entity or official(s) considered, was aware of, and approved the results of the analysis.
Figure 1 displays a map of Fort Bend County and shows the areas that are included in the Houston urbanized area as well as city boundaries and county census tracts.
Recipients of Federal Transit Administration financial assistance are required to conduct a Title VI equity analysis during the planning phase of all construction projects (i.e. vehicle storage, operations and maintenance) and during the analysis required by the National Environmental Policy Act analysis. Since Fort Bend County Public Transportation’s last Title VI update (March 2016) Fort Bend County initiated construction on an operations and maintenance (O&M) facility. Appendix A presents this facility’s Advanced Planning Report including Title VI relevant considerations.
The primary law governing the FTA environmental protection process is the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as amended. Many different federal laws, rules, and regulations govern environmental review of federally assisted mass transportation projects. NEPA establishes protection of the environment as a national priority and mandates that environmental impacts must be considered before any federal action likely to significantly affect the environment is undertaken. Other special purpose statutes and procedures may apply as well, depending on specific circumstances, e.g., protective measures for historic properties, wetlands, floodplains, etc. If related environmental review requirements apply, they are to be undertaken as part of the NEPA compliance process.
The process for complying with NEPA and federal surface transportation statutes is defined in the joint Federal Highway Administration/ FTA Environmental Impact and Related Procedures (23 C.F.R 771). The regulation sets forth the agencies' policy of combining all environmental analyses and reviews into a single process. It defines the roles and responsibilities of FTA and its grant applicants in preparing documents, and in managing the environmental process within the various project development phases.
Applicants intending to apply for federal transit funding should notify FTA at the time a project concept is identified. Once the applicant has furnished sufficient information and documentation, FTA will advise the applicant of the probable class of action and the related level of documentation required in the NEPA process. Recipients and sub-recipients of federal funding for construction projects should integrate an environmental justice analysis into the NEPA documentation. Recipients are not required to conduct environmental justice analyses of projects where NEPA documentation is not required.
The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of the population demographics for Fort Bend County and to highlight the transit services provided by the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department.
Fort Bend County is located along the Gulf Coast region of Texas, within the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown metropolitan area, the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the United States with a population of approximately 6.1 million as of the 2010 U.S. Census estimate. In 2010, Fort Bend County represented just over 9.5 percent of the total population in the metropolitan area.
The population of Fort Bend County has grown significantly since 1990, as shown in Table 1.
The county’s population in 2017, according to the American Communities Survey (ACS) 5-year estimate, was 711,421—12 percent greater than the 2014 ACS 5-year estimate as presented in the previous Fort Bend County Title VI Program Update. The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) estimates that Fort Bend County’s population will continue to grow, adding just over 200,000 people by the year 2025. The growth from 1990 to 2017 represents a 216 percent increase and the growth from 1990 to 2025, assuming the H-GAC forecast is realized, represents a 305 percent increase.

Most of the population of Fort Bend County falls within the Houston urbanized area. In 2010, the Fort Bend County population was 585,375 and 547,198 or 93.5 percent was in the urbanized area. The remaining population 38,177 or 6.5 percent was in rural Fort Bend County. According to 2017 ACS estimates, 689,175 residents (96.8 percent) of Fort Bend County reside within the Houston urbanized area.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 861.5 square miles. The average population density was 679.5 persons per square mile as of the 2010 Census and approximately 826 persons per square mile in 2017, according to the 2017 ACS 5-Year estimates. Rural areas of the county average approximately 65 persons per square mile.
Geographically, large portions of the county are rural; however, cities are growing rapidly.
Fort Bend County is diverse as reflected in racial and ethnic population demographics. Table 2 identifies the population in Fort Bend County by race and ethnicity. The data for 2010 are based on the U.S. Census decennial survey. The data for 2017 are from the U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates for 2017. The ACS data are published for selected geographic areas with populations of 65,000 or greater, and represent the results for a sample of data. With the exception of the “Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander alone” category, every racial or ethnic group identified by the U.S. Census in Fort Bend County has grown since the 2010 decennial census.

Under the federal guidelines for environmental justice, low-income population means a person whose median household income is at or below the poverty guidelines. In 2010, according to the ACS 5-year Estimate, about 12,000 households in Fort Bend County (7.2 percent of the total population) were living below the poverty level. The poverty level in Fort Bend County is below the state of Texas (14.67 percent) and Harris County (14.90 percent). In 2017, 7.38 percent of Fort Bend County households (about 16,400) were living below the poverty level, according to the 2017 ACS 5-year estimate.
The focus of federal Title VI regulations is not on demographics of age and disability. However, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department does develop services that are responsive to the needs of older adults (persons age 65 and over) and persons with a disability.
Approximately 7.3 percent of all persons residing in Fort Bend County in 2010 were 65 years of age or older. According to the 2017 ACS 5-Year Estimate, approximately 9.7 percent of Fort Bend County’s population is 65 years of age or older. This compares with the senior population for the state of Texas at approximately 11.7 percent and Harris County at approximately 9.6 percent.
According to 2010 ACS 3-Year Estimates2, approximately 7.3 percent of civilian,
non-institutionalized persons over age five reported a disability. In 2017, ACS 5-year estimates show that 8.3 percent of Fort Bend County’s non-institutionalized population over age 5 reported a disability. The 2017 statistic compares to 12.4 percent for the state of Texas and 9.9 percent for Harris County.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department is the public transit provider within Fort Bend County. The Public Transportation Department provides five transit services/programs: demand response transit service; point-deviation transit service in Richmond and Rosenberg, Texas; commuter express bus; Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC); and services for older adults and persons with a disability.
Fort Bend County offers demand response transit services to all citizens of Fort Bend County. Demand response transit service only serves origins/destinations in Fort Bend County. In order to schedule or cancel a ride, a rider may call 866-751-TRIP between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday (excluding Fort Bend County holidays) and ask for the “Fort Bend County Reservations.” Reservations can be made 30 days or up to one (1) business day in advance of the appointment time. Rides are typically scheduled for first destination drop-off by 8:00 a.m. and the last pick-up will be no later than 5:00 p.m. Repeat rides may be scheduled in advance. Rides will be accepted on a “time and space” available basis. Trip fares are $1.00 per person each way. Passengers must be ready 15 minutes before scheduled pick up time. This is a curb-to-curb service; however, persons with disabilities can request door-to-door service.
In July 2015, Fort Bend County introduced point-deviation transportation service in Richmond and Rosenberg Texas. This service operates on three fixed routes throughout Richmond and Rosenberg and will deviate (up to 3/4 of a mile) from the prescribed routes to pick up passengers upon request. Point Deviation Route Service operates along a fixed route and keeps to a timetable, but the bus or van can deviate from the route if a reservation is scheduled in advance to go to a specific location, such as a house, childcare center, or employment site. Once the pick- up or drop-off is made, the vehicle returns to the fixed route. Fort Bend County provides
point-deviation service Monday through Friday (excluding Fort Bend County holidays) from 6:40 AM until 5:15 PM.
Fort Bend County operates the Fort Bend Express, a peak period commuter bus service to three major employment centers in Harris County. The service consists of three bus routes, one to Greenway Plaza, one to Uptown/Galleria, and one to the TMC. Park-and-rides are located at the University of Houston Sugar Land campus at University Boulevard and US 59, the AMC Movie Theatre on Town Center Boulevard near First Colony Mall, and the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds near State Highway 36 and Fairgrounds Road. The Greenway Plaza route offers a

connection to the Metropolitan Transit Authority (METRO) West Bellfort Park & Ride. At this location, riders are able to transfer to METRO routes to downtown Houston and the TMC. Fort Bend Express service runs Monday through Friday (excluding Fort Bend County holidays) during peak commuter periods. Buses leave the park and ride lots between 5:20 a.m. and 10:00
a.m. and return from the activity centers between 3:15 p.m. and 8:40 p.m. at 15 to 20 minute intervals. A midday service is also available for our TMC service from 11:05 a.m. through 1:40
p.m. fare varies from $1.00 to $3.50 each way depending on the origin and destination.
Fort Bend County also participates in two transportation programs for specialized populations: Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) and services for older adults and persons with disabilities. Job Access and Reverse Commute provides transportation to individuals on welfare and other people with low-income in the urban area to and from jobs and activities related to employment. This is considered the “job access” portion of JARC. The service also takes individuals from urbanized areas to non-urbanized (rural) areas where suburban employers are located, and this accounts for the “reverse commute” portion of JARC.
Fort Bend County provides transportation services to assist private nonprofit groups in meeting the transportation needs of older adults and persons with disabilities. The county also assists human service agencies to provide transportation for older adults to congregate meal programs and other activities at senior centers in Fort Bend County.
Figure 2 presents Fort Bend County’s point-deviation routes and stops in Richmond and Rosenberg Texas.
Figure 3 presents the locations for regional public transportation services from Fort Bend County to destinations in Harris County. The regional destinations include Greenway Plaza, Uptown/Galleria, the TMC, and METRO West Bellfort Park & Ride for Fort Bend Express, and the TMC for demand response public transportation.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department collected demographic data and produced maps showing the extent to which areas of concentration of minority groups, low- income populations, and persons with limited English-proficiency have access to public transportation services.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department maintains a database of riders and home location for all demand response transit services (shared ride public transportation for the general public, JARC, and service for older adults and persons with disabilities).
Figure 4, on the following page, illustrates the locations of transit user home addresses as compared to Fort Bend County’s jurisdiction and the Houston UZA within Fort Bend County (97.58 percent of these addresses was geocoded with a high confidence score). Approximately 92 percent of demand response transit rider’s home locations exist within the Houston UZA.
The purpose of Figure 4 is twofold:
1) to demonstrate that the majority of transit riders originate from the most densely populated urban areas; and
2) to provide a snapshot of transit demand as it compares to the following demographic maps showing minority, low-income, and limited English populations.
Demographic information from 2017 ACS 5-Year Estimates provides the data to determine if members of minority groups, low-income populations, and persons with limited
English-proficiency have access to public transportation services in compliance with Title VI. The assessment also includes two demographic groups not required by the Title VI guidelines: older adults and persons with disabilities. These are important target populations for transit service in Fort Bend County.
2017 ACS 5-Year Estimate data are used as available. ACS 5-Year Estimate data products for smaller geographic areas (i.e., census tracts and census block groups) were released beginning in 2010 and will be used, as appropriate and available, by Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department for all non-decennial year Title VI assessments. Below is a list of the data used for the assessment of transit service with a short description.
• Minority Population – For the purposes of this assessment, minority population is defined as race or ethnicity other than non-Hispanic white. The data are reported by census block group as a percent of Fort Bend County’s total population that is minority. Source: 2017 ACS 5-Year Estimates. Census Block Group Level.
• Households Below Poverty Level – Low-income population is defined by the number of households with income below poverty level. The data are reported by census block group as a percent of households with incomes below poverty. Source: 2017 ACS 5-Year Estimates. Census Block Group Level.
• Limited English Proficient (LEP) Population – LEP are those persons who speak English “not well” or not at all. The data are reported by census block group as a percent of households with Limited English Proficiency by language category. Source: 2017 ACS 5- Year Estimates. Census Tract Level.
• Senior Population – Senior population is defined as persons 65 years of age or older. The data are reported by census block group as a percent of population that is 65 years of age or older. Source: 2017 ACS 5-Year Estimates. Census Block Group Level.
• Persons with a Disability – The data for persons with a disability are reported by census block group as a percent of the civilian, non-institutionalized population at least 5 years of age as of 2017 ACS 5-Year Estimates. A person with a disability has any of the following three conditions:
1. Five years old and over and reported a long-lasting sensory, physical, mental or self- care disability;
2. Sixteen years old and over and reported difficulty going outside the home because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition lasting six months or more; or
3. Sixteen to 64 years old and reported difficulty working at a job or business because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition lasting six months or more.
Source: 2017 ACS 5-Year Estimates. Census Tract Level.
The analysis presented in the sections below identifies where the percent of the total target population residing in a geographic area (defined in the following section) exceeds the average of the target population for Fort Bend County as a whole (Minority Population, Households Below Poverty Level, LEP Population, Population 65 Years and Older, and Population with Disabilities).
Appendix B presents a table that summarizes the total population/households and percentages for each Title VI target population by census tract. Those areas where the target population percent exceeds the average for Fort Bend County are highlighted in the table.
Census data are available at two categories of geographic area: census tracts and census block groups. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of decennial census data. Census tracts generally have between 1,500 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Census tracts are identified by a four-digit basic number.
Figure 5 presents a map of Fort Bend County showing the locations of major highways and incorporated cities. The numbers indicate census tracts.
A census block group is a cluster of census blocks having the same first digit of their four-digit identifying numbers within a census tract. For example, block group 3 within a census tract includes all blocks numbered from 3000 to 3999. Block groups generally contain between 600 and 3,000 people, with an optimum size of 1,500 people.
Minority Population
Figure 6 shows the census block groups where the percent of the population that identifies as minority is greater than the county average of 65.6 percent.
 |
Households Below Poverty Level
Figure 7 shows the census block groups where the percent of the population that identifies as below the poverty level is greater than the county average of 7.4 percent.
 |
LEP Population
Figure 8 shows the census block groups where the percent of the population that identifies as LEP is greater than the county average of 6 percent.
 |
Population 65 Years and Older
Figure 9 shows the census block groups where the percent of the population that identifies as age 65 or older is greater than the county average of 9.7 percent.
 |
Population with Disabilities
Figure 10 shows the census tracts where the percent of the population with a disability (as defined previously) is greater than the county average of 8.3 percent. The public transportation services provided by the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department emphasize demand response services with specific programs for persons with disabilities.

In previous statistical analyses of demographic characteristics, Fort Bend County identified the concentrations of population that have limited English proficiency.
The purpose of this section is to look more specifically at what languages other than English are spoken at home by Fort Bend County residents and to gauge the extent to which these populations may access transit services. The analysis will help the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department to develop and carry out a language implementation plan.
To determine the current language/translation needs of the Fort Bend County population at the countywide level, 2017 ACS 1-Year Estimate data are use. This data is reported by census tract as households in which a language other than English is spoken at home. A benefit of looking at languages spoken at home is to identify the languages that are most familiar to a person whose nation of origin is not the United States. This information will serve as guidance for Fort Bend County to provide language assistance for growing segments of the population.
The 2017 ACS 1-Year Estimates documents 13 language categories at the household level to present data on the number of households that speak a language and the number of those households that identify as a limited English speaking household. Table 4 presents each language category and the number of households identified for each.

To further investigate Fort Bend County’s limited English population, data at the census tract or block group level is required. However, these data sets include only four household language categories for households with limited English—Spanish, Other Indo-European languages, Asian and Pacific Island languages, and Other languages3. The following sections present the spatial relationship of Fort Bend County’s populations within each of these four categories. Appendix C presents this data for each census tract in Fort Bend County.
|
3 The Other languages category includes the following languages or narrow categories of languages: Navajo; Other Native languages of North America; Arabic; Hebrew; Amharic, Somali, or other Afro-Asiatic languages; Yoruba, Twi, Igbo, or other languages of Western Africa; Swahili or other languages of Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa; and Other and unspecified languages.
Figure 11 shows the census tracts where the percent of limited English households that speak Spanish at home is greater than the county average of 15.5 percent4.
 |
|
4 In a previous section, this metric is presented as 12.51 percent, while this section presents 15.5 percent. The difference is due to different estimation methodologies between ACS 1-year and 5-year estimates.
Figure 12 shows the areas where the percent of the limited English households that speak Other Indo-European languages at home is greater than the county average of eight percent.

According to the guidance provided by FTA Circular 4702.1B, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department must ensure that programs, policies, and activities comply with DOT Title VI Regulations.
The purpose of this section is to present a statement of policy for compliance with Title VI, instructions for how a member of the public may file a discrimination complaint, and procedures for tracking and investigating Title VI complaints. The Public Transportation Department has a responsibility to provide public notice to the beneficiaries of its public transportation services of protection under Title VI.
Fort Bend County is committed to a policy of non-discrimination in the conduct of its business, including the Title VI responsibility to deliver equitable and accessible transportation services. Fort Bend County officially formed the Public Transportation Department in June 2005 to provide residents with safe and efficient public transportation services while maintaining service quality and customer satisfaction.
The Public Transportation Department recognizes its responsibility to the Fort Bend County community in which it operates and to the society it serves. The Public Transportation Department will utilize its best efforts to assure that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under the Fort Bend County program of transit service delivery and related benefits. Further, the Public Transportation Department will utilize best efforts to provide equitable and accessible public transportation services to persons of low income and persons with limited English proficiency.
In order to comply with the Title VI requirements, the Public Transportation Department strives to accomplish the following objectives:
• Ensure that the level and quality of transportation service is provided without regard to race, color or national origin;
• Identify and address, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects, including social and economic effects of programs and activities on minority populations and low-income populations;
• Promote the full and fair participation of all affected populations in transportation decision making;
• Prevent the denial, reduction or delay in benefits related to programs and activities that benefit minority populations or low-income populations; and
• Ensure meaningful access to programs and activities by persons with limited English proficiency.
The responsibility for carrying out Fort Bend County’s commitment to Title VI responsibilities rests with the Director of the Public Transportation Department. All managers, supervisors, and
employees in the Public Transportation Department share in the responsibility for making the Title VI Program a success.
Fort Bend County is committed to safeguarding against discrimination in its provision of public transportation services. Any person who feels he or she may have been discriminated against is encouraged to report in writing such a violation to the Fort Bend County within 180 days of the alleged discrimination.

The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department is committed to ensuring meaningful access to programs and activities by persons with limited English proficiency, as required by FTA Circular 4702.1B.
This section has two purposes. The first purpose is to document the types of public information about transit services currently provided by the Public Transportation Department and to summarize public outreach and involvement activities to reach out to target markets including minority and low-income people, older adults, and persons with disabilities. The second purpose is to document a proposed approach to ensure meaningful access to persons with limited English proficiency by providing more bilingual information.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department provides public outreach pamphlets in both English and Spanish. The Public Transportation Department also provides public information about transit services in English via the following media.
Internet Website: www.FBCTransit.org
Telephone: 281-633-7433
Toll Free: 866-751-8747
Fax: 832-471-1843
Email: transit@fortbendcountytx.gov
Individuals with hearing impairments can make a reservation utilizing the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS). The individual would dial 711 which would connect him/her to TRS. Individuals with vision impairments may request printed materials in larger fonts upon request.

Fax: 832-471-1843
Email: transit@fortbendcountytx.gov
All Fort Bend County websites, including the Public Transportation website, can be translated into 80 languages by selecting a language from a dropdown menus of Google Translate® options.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department engages in public outreach in order to attract ridership and inform others of transit services. Outreach takes the form of presentations, open houses, information tables, group discussions, posters, and pamphlets. Pamphlets are available in Spanish. Public involvement activities occur at churches, schools, community centers, governmental agencies, chambers of commerce, and agencies that provide human and social services for older adults and persons with disabilities. The Public Transportation Department keeps a record of the locations and events. The language used for all verbal presentations and group discussions is English. Sign language interpreters are available upon request.
Appendix F includes documentation of public presentations and public outreach initiatives by the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department. Many of the collaboration meetings are with advocates for minority and low-income people – for example:
• Fort Bend County Meals on Wheels
• Texas Workforce Solutions
• Catholic Charities
• Literacy Council of Fort Bend County
• Experience Works Employment, Training Director
• Fort Bend Independent School District, Vocational Adjustment Coordinator
• Fort Bend County Indigent Health Care Manager
• Parkwest Staffing, Branch Manager
• Texana, Supported Employment Coordinator
• The Association for Retarded Citizens of Fort Bend County
Public outreach also includes a concerted effort to reach out to health and human service agencies that support persons with disabilities and older adults.
In order to ensure that minority, low-income, and LEP persons have meaningful access to public outreach activities, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will enhance the current public involvement program in the following ways:
• All public outreach efforts will continue to be descriptively documented and the following information about each outreach effort will be noted:
o Date of the outreach;
o Name, address, and phone number of location of the public outreach;
o Names of Fort Bend County Public Transportation staff that were present;
o Name of partner staff that were present;
o Notes about the outreach effort describing the reason for the outreach and the format of the outreach (presentation, open house, information table, group discussion, meeting, or other);
o Number of individuals in attendance.
• The Public Transportation Department has developed a language implementation plan to ensure meaningful access to LEP persons (see LEP Plan below).
In developing the language implementation plan, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department undertook a U.S. DOT “four factor” LEP analysis. A brief description of each factor and pertinent considerations are provided in the following discussion.
1. The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible in the Fort Bend County service area who maybe served or likely to encounter a Public Transportation Department program, activity, or service.
As documented in Sections 4 and 5 of this report, Spanish is the language other than English most often used by residents of Fort Bend County. Nearly 19 percent of the Fort Bend County households speaks Spanish at home. There are eight other languages or language categories spoken at home by at least one percent of Fort Bend County’s households, including: Other Indo-European languages (7.37 percent), Chinese including Mandarin and Cantonese (3.7 percent), Other Asian and Pacific Island languages (2.8 percent), Vietnamese (2.2 percent), Other Unspecified languages (2.0 percent), Tagalog including Filipino (1.4 percent), and Arabic (1.1 percent).
2. The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with a Public Transportation Department program, activity, or service.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department assesses the frequency with which staff and drivers have or could possibly have contact with LEP persons. This includes documenting phone inquiries and verbally surveying drivers. The occasions when information is requested in another language are infrequent; however, when a request is made, the request is for information in Spanish.
3. The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by the Public Transportation Department.
Public transportation is the means of travel to work, getting to medical appointments or to attend school and achieve general mobility for many LEP persons. The Public Transportation Department partners with numerous community organizations and social and human service agencies to provide transit services. The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will collaborate with all organizations and agencies in the service area to seek public input, hold public meetings, and assist in advising all LEP persons of the types of language assistance and public transportation services that can be provided.
4. The resources available to the Public Transportation Department and overall costs.
The Public Transportation Department continuously assesses its available resources that could be used for providing LEP assistance. This includes determining the ability of
members of the staff and drivers to speak another language (specifically, Spanish), identifying how much a professional interpreter and translation would cost on an as needed basis, which documents would be most valuable to be translated if and when warranted, taking an inventory of available organizations that the Public Transportation Department could partner with for outreach and translation efforts, and what level of staff training is needed.
Based on these four factors, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department developed a plan to assist LEP persons who speak Spanish as a native language.
Consistent with guidance provided by FTA Circular 4702.1B, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will provide language assistance in Spanish for persons with limited English proficiency. In addition, the department will monitor available information to anticipate the need for languages other than English and Spanish every three years.
In order to ensure meaningful access by LEP persons who speak Spanish, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will enhance current public information about transit services in the following ways:
• The statement of policy for compliance with Title VI, instructions for how to file a discrimination complaint, and the complaint form will be provided in both English and Spanish.
• Public information materials will be provided with a bilingual option for Spanish:
o Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department website will have critical information posted in English and Spanish;
o The recorded information for the telephone number for general information will have a bilingual option in Spanish;
o Printed publications will be printed in an English/Spanish format.
• When an interpreter is needed to respond to a telephone call to reserve a demand response transit trip, the person will be referred to a bilingual Public Transportation Department employee, or, if necessary, a bilingual employee in another Fort Bend County department will be called in to assist the customer. The individual’s reserved trip will be noted as Spanish-speaking on the driver’s manifest to alert the driver to a LEP passenger who may need additional assistance.
• A member of the Fort Bend County staff who speaks Spanish or an interpreter will be available to facilitate public outreach efforts involving the general public in areas of the county where there are concentrations of population that speak Spanish at home (to be determined based on census data, ESL data from school districts, or other reliable sources of information).
• The Public Transportation Department will make available an English/Spanish interpreter for public meetings. The English/Spanish announcement for the public meeting will state that translation services will be provided if requested in advance.
The Fort Bend Public Transportation Department will use the following tools to identify who may need language assistance:
• Examine records for language assistance from past meetings and events to anticipate the possible need for assistance at upcoming meetings.
• When the Public Transportation Department sponsors workshops or conferences, the responsible staff member will set up a sign-in sheet and then assign someone to personally greet and briefly speak to each attendee. To informally gage the attendee’s ability to speak and understand English, the greeter will ask a question that requires a full sentence reply.
• Ask reservation clerks and receptionists to document each time a call is received from a person who does not speak proficiently in English. Keep a log of experiences to establish a trend line.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will provide staff with a copy of the LEP Plan and provide training for all employees including new hires. Training topics will include:
• Understanding the Title VI policy and LEP responsibilities;
• What language assistance services the Public Transportation Department offers;
• Instructions on how to document language assistance requests; and
• How to handle complaints.
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will monitor and evaluate changes in LEP population through available demographic information to determine the growing incidence of other languages and potential need for language accommodation.
The LEP plan is designed to be flexible and can be easily updated. Each triennial update should examine components such as the following:
• Was the need for language assistance provided? If not, why not? If yes, how was the assistance was provided?
• Were any complaints received?
• Has there been any change in the types of languages where translation services are needed?
• What is the current LEP population in the service area?
• Is there still a need for continued language assistance for previously identified programs or services? Are there other programs or services that should be included?
• Have the goals of the LEP Plan been accomplished?
The Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will prepare and submit a Title VI Program to FTA every three years beginning in 2009. The program will include the following information at a minimum:
• Evidence of notice to the public that the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department complies with Title VI and instructions to the public on how to file a discrimination complaint;
• Procedures for tracking and investigating Title VI complaints;
• List of any Title VI investigations, complaints, or lawsuits;
• Summary of public outreach and involvement activities and steps undertaken to ensure that minority and low-income people have meaningful access to these activities; and
• Plan for providing language assistance for persons with limited English proficiency.
According to the FTA Circular 4702.1B program-specific guidance for recipients that provide transit service in a large urban area, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department should adopt quantitative system-wide service standards and policies to guard against service design and operational policies that have disparate impacts. The department is also required to monitor transit service throughout the county to ensure that minority groups and low-income populations are beneficiaries of transit services. Every three years, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department is required to document compliance.
The purpose of this section is to document Fort Bend County compliance with the FTA Circular 4702.1B program-specific guidance for recipients that provide transit service in a large urban area.

In order to comply with Title VI requirements, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will evaluate significant system-wide service and fare changes and proposed service improvements at the planning and programming stages to determine whether those changes have a discriminatory impact on minority and low-income populations.
The Public Transportation Department will take the following steps to evaluate significant system-wide service and fare changes and proposed service improvements:
• Assess the effects of the proposed fare or service change on minority and low-income populations.
Service Changes: Analyze demographic information and maps of the service area to determine how services changes will impact minority and low-income populations in the county.
Span of Service: For reducing or increasing the span of service, the Public Transportation Department will analyze data obtained from ridership surveys or other data to determine days and times of the day when low-income and minority riders might be negatively affected by a service span alteration.
Fare Changes: For any reduction or increase in service fares, the Public Transportation Department will analyze any available information from surveys or other data indicating whether minority or low-income riders are more likely to use the mode of service, payment type, or payment media that would be affected by the fare change.
• Assess the alternatives available for people affected by the major service or fare change.
Service Changes: For proposed service changes, the Public Transportation Department will analyze what, if any, modes of transit or transit services are available for people affected by the service expansion or reduction. This analysis will compare the travel time and cost of the current route with the travel time and cost to the rider of the alternatives.
Fare Changes: For proposed fare changes, the Public Transportation Department will analyze what, if any, alternative transit modes, fare payment types, or fare payment media are available for people affected by the fare change. This analysis will compare the fares paid under the change with fares that would be paid through available alternatives.
• Determine which, if any, of the proposals under consideration would have a disproportionately high and adverse effect on minority and low-income riders.
Under FTA guidelines, Fort Bend County can implement a fare increase or major service change that would have disproportionately high and adverse effects on minority and low- income riders provided the Public Transportation Department demonstrates that the action meets a substantial need that is in the public interest and that alternatives would have more severe adverse effects than the preferred alternative.
• Identify plans to minimize, mitigate, or offset any adverse effects of proposed fare and service changes on minority and low-income populations.
As a way to ensure Title VI compliance, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will monitor Title VI related service factors. The review will include the following steps:
• Record of Complaints: The Public Transportation Department will investigate and track Title VI complaints according to the adopted procedures. Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department will maintain a list of any active investigations conducted by entities other than FTA, which includes lawsuits and complaints.
• Ridership Data: The Public Transportation Department will monitor the location of riders of transit services and compare to the most current demographic data to ensure no discriminatory service. The department will include questions to ascertain rider characteristics for Title VI demographics in periodic surveys of transit riders.
• Changes in Service: The Public Transportation Department will evaluate and modify any change in service in order to eliminate or mitigate adverse effects or discrimination that could occur as a result of the change. Changes in service include changes in routes, hours of operation, frequency of service, reduction of service, or elimination of service.
• LEP Plan: The Public Transportation Department will provide language assistance in Spanish for persons with limited English proficiency according to the LEP Plan. In addition, the department will monitor available information to anticipate the need for languages other than English and Spanish. Information on LEP populations will be obtained from ACS data and other relevant sources as available. This will help track growth of specific languages in the county and provide insight into what languages people in the general public may need assistance.
• Public Outreach: The Public Transportation Department will maintain a list of all public outreach initiatives and presentation. Records will be reviewed periodically to ensure that minority, low-income, and LEP persons have meaningful access to public outreach activities.
