BACKGROUND AND IMPLICATIONS OF ACTION

		Prior versions of the Title VI Program have been submitted to the BOCC for adoption. This is a continuing effort to remain compliant with Federal regulations. The Title VI Program is prepared pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, FTA Circular 4702.1B, "Title VI Requirements and Guidelines for Federal Transit Administration Recipients." Title VI prohibits discrimination by recipients of Federal financial assistance on the basis of race, color, or national origin including the denial of meaningful access for limited English proficient (LEP) persons. Environmental Justice, a required component of the Title VI Program, guarantees fair treatment for all people regardless of race and income and requires LeeTran to identify and address, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse effects of its programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations.
