Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 210 / Wednesday, November 3, 2021 / Notices 6. The Title VI Circular provides two data analysis options for conducting a service equity analysis: Using population data or using ridership data.
Should FTA provide additional options for conducting a service or fare equity analysis? If so, what alternatives should FTA consider?
7. The Title VI Circular provides that service equity is measured based on access to public transit service. Is this measure sufficient to ensure equity, or should it be measured by destinations, such as how many jobs riders can access from a particular stop within a specified time, or how long it takes to get to grocery stores, medical facilities, and other critical destinations, or by some other measure?
8. The Title VI Circular provides that temporary service changes 12 months or less and temporary fare reductions 6
months or less do not respectively require service and fare equity analyses.
Should FTA reconsider these timeframes? Should FTA require some analysis during temporary changes to consider the equity impacts of the temporary changes?

Facility Equity Analyses 9. The Title VI Circular, with regard to the determination of site or location of facilities, requires a Title VI facility equity analysis, in which a recipient must analyze the proposed location of certain facilities to ensure there is no disparate impact in the siting decision.
FTA provides limited guidance in the Circular on this topic but does require a comparison of equity impacts of various siting alternatives and an analysis before the selection of the preferred site. Should FTA provide additional guidance on facility equity analyses, including public participation, disparate impact thresholds, cumulative effects, or timeframes? Would stakeholders find it helpful if FTA
published a sample facility equity analysis, similar to the sample SAFE
analyses, in the Appendix to the Circular?
10. These facility equity analyses are conducted prior to site selection, but they are submitted to FTA as part of a recipients Title VI program once every three years. Due to this gap in time, FTA
may not become aware of facility siting and related equity analyses until years after they have been constructed or conducted. Should FTA require a facility equity analysis be posted on a recipients website or submitted to FTA
prior to site selection, in addition to submission with the recipients Title VI
program? If so, how soon after an analysis is conducted or before a change

is approved or implemented should FTA require posting or submission?
Implementation of Rider Conduct Policies 11. The Title VI Circular currently makes no mention of equitable implementation of rider conduct policies, such as prohibitions on smoking, littering, loitering, eating on vehicles, evading fares, or playing music loudly. Given the potential for disparate impacts on the basis of race, color, or national origin in the implementation of these policies, which is prohibited by DOT Title VI regulations, FTA is considering how to address these topics.
To ensure compliance with Title VI, how should FTA address the equitable implementation of rider conduct policies?
Technical Resources for Analyzing Disparate Impact 12. FTA Regional Civil Rights Officers and Headquarters staff field many technical assistance requests from transit providers asking how to determine disparate impact and how to evaluate service and fare changes for equity. These include transit providers who do not yet meet the Chapter IV
thresholds that require SAFE analyses or demographic data collection and reporting. What commendable practices are transit providers, and in particular smaller providers not subject to the Chapter IV requirements, using to review their policies and practices to ensure their service and fare changes do not result in disparate impacts on the basis of race, color, or national origin?
Additional Title VI Circular Feedback 13. Should FTA consider incorporating guidance and instructions into the Title VI Circular on topics or policy matters not discussed in the questions above or not currently covered in the Circular? If so, what are those topics or policy matters? What commendable practices should FTA
consider including? FTA welcomes any additional feedback on the Title VI
Circular, including topics not listed in the questions above.
All interested parties are encouraged to respond to this RFI. Submissions are strictly voluntary. Individuals or entities responding to this RFI should state their role as well as knowledge of and experience with Title VI and the Title VI
Circular. FTA may request additional clarifying information from any or all respondents. If a respondent does not wish to be contacted by FTA for additional information, a statement to that effect should be included in the response. All information submitted
