TITLE VI EQUITY ANALYSES L1 SAN MATEO COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT | TITLE VI PROGRAM I: INTRODUCTION The material contained in the SamTrans (hereinafter the “District”) Title VI Compliance Report provides information and analysis bearing upon compliance with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act regarding transit services and related benefits. The purpose of Title VI is "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 any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Since 1972, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has required applicants for and recipients of Federal assistance to provide assessments of compliance as part of the grant approval process. The FTA has the responsibility to ensure that federally supported transit services and related benefits are distributed in a manner consistent with Title VI including as related to Environmental Justice and access for individuals who have Limited English Proficiency. This update conforms to the FTA’s Title VI Circular 4702.1B, effective October 2012. As a federal grant recipient, the District is required to maintain and provide to FTA information on its compliance with the Title VI regulations. At a minimum it must conduct periodic compliance assessments to determine whether the transit service provided to minority communities and users is consistent with the law. SamTrans is required to perform a self-assessment every three years and to document that services and benefits are provided in a non-discriminatory manner. This document covers the period from 2010 through 2013. SamTrans, as required under Circular 4702.1B, has included the following information in this compliance report: 1. Discussion and attachments pertaining to general Title VI requirements. a. Title VI Notice to Public b. Title VI Complaint Procedures c. List of Investigations, Complaints, or Lawsuits d. Public Participation Plan e. Language Assistance Plan f. Membership of Non-elected Committees g. Sub-recipient Monitoring h. Board Meeting Minutes i. Construction Projects j. Additional Information upon Request 2. Discussion and attachments pertaining to Title VI requirements for transit operators. a. Service Standards and Policies b. Demographic and Service Profile c.

All other required submittals. 1 | Page SAN MATEO COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT | TITLE VI PROGRAM II: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS This chapter responds to the general reporting information required of all Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grantees on a triennial basis. The information is required under U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. A. Title VI Notice to Public A copy of the District’s notice to the public that it complies with Title VI, instructions to the public on how to file a discrimination complaint, and a sample complaint form are contained in Appendix A. B. Title VI Complaint Procedures The District responds to any and all lawsuits or complaints that allege discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin with respect to service or other transit benefits. SamTrans makes its procedures for filing a complaint available to members of the public. A copy of the District’s Title VI complaint process and consumer reports process overview are contained in Appendix B. C. List of Investigations, Complaints, or Lawsuits Appendix C contains a list of any Title VI investigations conducted by entities other than FTA, lawsuits, or complaints naming the District that allege discrimination on the basis of race, color, or nation origin. In keeping with the Circular, the list includes the date the investigation was requested or the lawsuit or complaint was filed; a summary of the allegation(s); the status of the investigation, lawsuit, or complaint; and actions taken by the District in response to the investigation, lawsuit, or complaint. D. Public Participation Plan A summary of public outreach and involvement activities undertaken in last three years and description of steps taken to ensure that minority and low-income persons had meaningful access to these activities is contained in various portions of this Compliance Report, including the District’s Public Participation Plan in Appendix D, the LAP Plan in Appendix E, and within the outreach summary portion of the District’s recent Service Equity Analysis for the SamTrans Service Plan in Appendix L. E. Language Assistance Plan The District’s current Language Assistance Plan for providing language assistance for persons with Limited English Proficiency based on the DOT LEP Guidance is contained in Appendix E. F. Membership of Non-elected Committees The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is composed of 15 representatives from various segments of the community and acts in an advisory capacity to the SamTrans Board. It is the only relevant organization for community relations outside of SamTrans internal departments. Responsibilities include providing input on the needs of current and potential transit users. The Citizens Advisory Committee has direct liaison to the Board of Directors through the Community Relations Committee and shall assist the SamTrans Board of Directors in any manner the Board deems appropriate. 2 | Page SAN MATEO COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT | TITLE VI PROGRAM The purpose of the CAC is to help the San Mateo County District plan a transportation system that is safe, efficient, cost-effective, energy efficient, environmentally responsible, and responsive to the needs of the broadest range of citizens and transit users in San Mateo County. SamTrans firmly believes that the people who use a transportation system, or are affected by it, should have a voice in deciding the “where,” the “what,” and the “when” regarding SamTrans operations. In recognition of the importance of SamTrans fixed-route bus service in our multi-modal system, the focus of the CAC is on issues of direct concern to users of fixed-route bus service. Members of the CAC may concurrently represent the concerns of other constituent groups as they relate to fixed-route bus service. Members of the CAC need not be citizens of the United States. When making appointments to the CAC, the Board may give preference to residents of the County of San Mateo if such preference would result in more informed membership. The CAC meets on the last Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the SamTrans administrative office, 1250 San Carlos Ave. in San Carlos. All meetings are open to the public. Fifteen members are appointed-at-large for three-year terms, representing and divided among the following constituencies: Bus Riders – Representing the diverse population of both San Mateo County and SamTrans fixed-route ridership. Multi-modal Riders – Representing the riders who use SamTrans fixed-route service to connect to another one of the available transit modes. Examples include bus-to Caltrain riders, bus-to-BART riders, and bus-to-bus riders. Community – Representing community interests which also interact with SamTrans fixed-route service. An annual four-week recruitment is held in March and April to fill the vacancies on the CAC. In the event there are a significant number of unexpected vacancies, such as at the current time, staff will hold an off-cycle recruitment to fill the vacancies at the Board’s direction if terms expire. SamTrans is proactive with respect to recruiting new CAC members from San Mateo County and all applications are kept on file. Ads are sometimes placed in the papers of record in San Mateo County, with language-specific ads placed in the Asian Journal (Mandarin), El Observador (Spanish), and Half Moon Bay Review (bilingual English/Spanish). SamTrans also provides English language in the following forms: News release. Onboard take-ones (which has been found to be the best method for customers to receive information). Postings at city halls around the county. Board and CAC meeting announcements. Every person who submits an application to fill vacancies is interviewed by the Community Relations Board Subcommittee, which is comprised of three members of the Board of Directors. The same questions are asked of each candidate and an ultimate decision is based on qualifications and responses to interview questions. 3 | Page SAN MATEO COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT | TITLE VI PROGRAM The following table illustrates the current membership of the SamTrans Citizens Advisory Committee.

TJPA’s park is expected to be a destination for visitors that will include area residents, workers, transit riders and tourists, with programs and events (activation) designed to ensure that the open space is populated throughout the daytime and evening hours of operation. The TJPA is developing a park security program that will support the following goals: • Create an exceptional visitor experience • Preserve the park’s unique ecosystem • Enable full activation of the park • Provide a safe and secure park for all users Most San Francisco parks are owned by the City and County of San Francisco; are under the control, management, and direction of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission and the Recreation and Parks Department staff; and are subject to the rules and regulations in the San Francisco Park Code and other provisions of the Municipal Code. The TJPA’s park, like all other San Francisco parks, requires rules and regulations to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all visitors and preservation of the public resource.

The CWA 11 provides for the restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of 12 the nation’s waters. The CWA emphasizes technology-based (end-of-pipe) control strategies and 13 requires discharge permits to allow use of public resources for waste discharge. The CWA also limits 14 the amount of pollutants that may be discharged and requires wastewater to be treated with the 15 best treatment technology economically achievable regardless of receiving water conditions. The 16 control of pollutant discharges is established through National Pollutant Discharge Elimination 17 System (NPDES) permits that contain effluent limitations and standards. The U.S. Environmental 18 Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated responsibility for implementation of portions of the CWA, 19 such as Sections 303, 401, and 402 (discussed below), to the State Water Resources Control Board 20 (State Water Board) and the associated nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Water 21 Boards). 22 Section 303(d) and Total Maximum Daily Loads 23 The State of California adopts water quality standards to protect beneficial uses of waters of the 24 state as required by Section 303(d) of the CWA and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act of 25 1969 (Porter-Cologne Act).

  • A List of the Birds Breeding in San Francisco County, California (With
    54 THE CONDOR Vol. XIX yond, told me of the birds. “When they first get here, if there isnt’ a royal battle over those snags ! ” she exclaimed. “Fight? Yes, scream and holler and fight around those trees. I used to set and watch them birds. ” The chip- munks, she said, climbed the stubs and the Swallows drove them off. “I used to like to see them fight a squirrel down,” she said. “Half a dozen would dive right at him and theyd’ put him down in a hurry.” Only one family of Tree Swallows were in possession at the time of my visit and their nest was about twenty feet from the ground on the east side of the stub. Once when I was watching it the gardener warned me not to sit near the stubs when the wind was high for, as she said, “they go over sometimes ” ; but her husband in a tone of superiority remarked that they wouldnt’ fall in my direction as the wind was from the ocean. When after several visits the birds had become somewhat used to me I put my camp stool down at the foot of the stub where the bracken stood above my head, and the Swallows went about their business unmindful even of the white dogs that had accompanied me. The bark had fallen off the stub from the nest hole down, but still held above and made a shading portico for the door. The Swallows in coming to the nest would sail down on set wings. If I did not see them I knew they were approaching by seeing their shadows waver- ing over the shiny gray trunk and the ferns below, and also by the actions of the young which would crane out of the doorway till the sun lit up their three big chirring yellow throats.
