CAP's Mission is; "identify and safely meet the transportation needs of Collier County, through a courteous, dependable, cost effective and environmentally sound team commitment." The Collier County Local Coordinating Board Mission is, "To carry out a coordinated and comprehensive approach to planning, developing and providing transportation services that meet the needs of transportation disadvantaged persons." There are six goals that support the mission which were adopted in its Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan(TDSP). For every goal there are between four and thirteen objectives. The six goals can be summarized in implementing and providing an efficient,effective and safe coordinated transportation system that provides quality services.The last goal states securing the necessary funding to meet all six goals which is the ultimate purpose of this grant application, 2) Organizational structure, type of operation, number of employees, and other pertinent organizational information. Collier Area Transit (CAT) provides residents and visitors of Collier County with an accessible mode of travel. These include seven days a week of fixed route and paratransit public transit services with approximately 18 routes per system on a daily basis. Collier County is considered a complete brokerage system, contracting all of its operations to Keolis Transit America. They currently have 105 employees to run the CAT operations of which approximately 35 are dedicated to the paratransit service. •The Collier County Board of County Commissioners serves as the Community Transportation Coordinator(CTC) for Collier County. As the management company for the CTC, CAT performs the basic elements of coordination for the Paratransit program in Collier County, e.g., call intake, certification, eligibility, reservations, scheduling, reporting and many other related functions. Paratransit service is provided seven days a week to the citizens of Collier County under two distinct programs ADA and Transportation Disadvantaged; these includes individuals ,with disabilities, low income. and elderly in both the urbanized and non-urbanized areas of the County. The Medicaid program has been managed by a private provider since July 1" of 2012. Service is provided under contract to Keolis using vehicles provided and owned by the County. 3) Who is responsible for insurance. training a.id management, and administration of the agencies transportation programs? • The management of the Keolis contract is conducted by the Collier County Public Transit and Neighborhood Enhancement(PINE)Department. Kcolis is responsible for the day to day transit operations of the transit system • including hiring, training and management of the bus operators and customer service personnel. They arc also responsible for the insurance of all of CAT'CAP's vehicles. 4) Who provides maintenance? Collier County's Fleet Department is responsible for the maintenance of all of Collier County owned transit vehicles with the help of the operations vendor for coordination. 5) Number of transportation related employees Currently there arc 110 transit related employees. • bJ Packet Page -1526- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. 6) Who will drive the vehicle, number of drivers, CDL certifications, etc? The vehicles requested with this grant application pertain to the paratransit system which consists of 35 drivers. Since the vehicle will be replacement or expansion to the spare ratio,no new drivers will be hired at the moment. Due to the number of seats or.these vehicles no CDL certification is necessary. 7) A detailed description of service routes and ridership numbers. Collier Area Transit's paratransit program covers the entire county and operates an average of 20 routes and or • manifests each day using Collier County owned vehicles. A total of 84,465 one-way trips were provided during . the state fiscal year 2014. .,,. • . 0 • Packet Page 1527 1/13/2015 16.D.13. EXHIBIT B Proposed Project Description 1. Is the project to continue the existing level of services, to expand present service, or to provide new service? How will a grant award be used? How more hours of service will be provided? Will it expand service to a larger geographic area? Specify the shorter headways? How many more trips will be provided? Please explain in detail. Collier County is requesting FTA Section 5310 funds to purchase three replacement vehicles and four mobility venture vehicles for expansion of the spare ratio. These vehicles will be to continue the existing level of service. The county is also requesting seven two-way communication radios for these vehicles. Historically the two-way radios had been moved from the old replacement vehicle to the new one and due to the age of the radios they needed continued repairs which in turn mean the vehicle is down because the radios are installed in the vehicles. 2. If a grant award will be used to maintain services as described in Exhibit A, specifically explain how it will be used in the context of total service. The three cutaway vehicles will be used to replace three of our vehicles that have reached their useful life and the spares will be used as a vehicle brakes or needs to have a preventive maintenance. With an average of 20 routes a day and an inventory of 22 vehicles the room for failure is very little. By purchasing additional vehicles it will allow the paratransit system to be able to maintain the preventive maintenance schedule while ensuring that adequate vehicles are available to maintain the level of service. 3. Give a detailed explanation of the need for the vehicle and provide evidence of the need. According to the Federal guidelines the useful life of a small bus or specialized van which is the type of vehicles proposed for replacement on this application is 4 years or 100,000 miles. As the inventory above shows these three vehicles have already surpassed their useful life based on the mileage. By the time their replacement is received they would each have an average of 64,500 additional miles. As the Community Transportation Coordinator, we would like to be able to replace, high mileage vehicles. High mileage vehicles require increased maintenance expenses compared with lower mileage vehicles and for this reason the county is requesting the purchase of additional spares as well in order to maintain the level of service being provided. 4. Will a grant award be used to replace existing equipment or purchase additional vehicles/equipment? Provide details. The grant award will be used to replace the three existing paratransit vehicles with radios and also to add four new vehicles with radios. 5. Identify vehicles/equipment being replaced and list them on the "Current Vehicle and Transportation Equipment Inventory" form,provided elsewhere in this manual. Our current vehicle inventory is supplied elsewhere in this grant application. 6. Describe agency's maintenance program and include a section on how vehicles will be maintained without interruptions in service(who,what,where,and when). "All of the preventive maintenance inspections are performed in-house by the County Fleet Department and scheduled by mileage projections. The Collier Area Transit uses the FDOT recommended "A, B and C" level inspections using 6,000 mile intervals. The Fleet Management Department Shop Manager runs daily reports to track and schedule preventive maintenance (PM)services. Oil changes are performed on the PM schedule. Oil sampling is done at random or on suspect engines. Coolant is checked regularly by PH strip (,)� Packet Page-1528- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. during PM inspections and services. Vehicle mileages are recorded each evening while the vehicle is being fueled by the Fleet Management Department and entered into the FASTER software system. The Shop Manager tracks the upcoming preventive maintenance inspections through the FASTER software program." The above is from the Collier Area Transit Preventive Maintenance Plan. 7. If vehicles/equipment are proposed to be used by a lessee or private operator under contract to the applicant, identify the proposed lessee/operator. a. Include an equitable plan for distribution of vehicles/equipment to lessees and/or private operators. Not applicable to Collier County. 8. Each applicant shall indicate whether they are a government authority or a private non-profit agency, provide a brief description of the project which includes the counties served, whether the applicant shall service minority populations and whether the applicant is minority-owned. Collier County's public transit is governed by the Board of County Commissioners, a local government agency. Collier Area Paratransit serves the residents of Collier County. 9. Agencies receiving Section 5310 funds must collect both quantitative and qualitative data(detailed in the Threshold Criteria section on page 7)to capture overarching program information as part of the Section 5310 annual report, Please outline how your agency will collect the quantitative and qualitative data required as a Section 5310 recipient. i.e. What will the time frame be/how will it be incorporated into program operations? What tools will be used to collect the data? Collier Area Paratransit utilizes Route Match in conjunction with Avail technologies to collect the necessary quantitative and qualitative data for analysis. The data includes ridership, geographical,trip and other types of information. 10. Fully explain Your Transportation Program a. Service hours,planned service,routes and trip types The pickup time may be as early as 4:00 AM and the latest pickup time may be as late as 6:00 PM. Our paratransit has 20 routes that cover trips in the Naples, Everglades City, lmmokalee and Marco Island area. The trip types Collier provides are medical, nutritional, employment, educational or personal. b. Staffing—include plan for training on vehicle equipment such as wheelchair lifts,etc. All new drivers are required to complete a training program prior to operating a vehicle. In addition all drivers must attend monthly safety trainings which include training on vehicle equipment. b. Records maintenance—who,what methods,use of databases,spreadsheets etc. All sensitive records are maintained under lock and key. Other records are kept for seven years in an archive room or electronically depending on the document i.e. manifests are in the Route Match Software. d.

EXHIBIT A Current System Description Vision: To be an integral part of Collier County's Transportation network operated effectively and efficiently to improve economic and environmental benefits while providing all residents an alternative to the automobile. System Description: Collier Area Transit (CAT) provides residents and visitors of Collier County with an accessible mode of travel. These services include public transit for fixed route and paratransit. Collier County occupies a land area of approximately 2,025.3 square miles making it one of the largest County's in Florida. At least 80 percent of the Collier County land area has been set aside as preserve lands, including Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, two national wildlife refuges, one national research reserve, three state parks, one state forest, and a number of other public and private parks and nature preserves. In addition, Collier County has nearly 50 miles of public beaches and a vast area of Agricultural lands. With such a large land area, comes wear and tear. More vehicle miles traveled translate into increased maintenance requirements of our fleet. The Collier County Board of County Commissioner is the governing body for the Public Transportation system in Collier County. The Public Transportation system, Collier Area Transit (CAT), operates under the supervision of the Collier County Department of Public Transit & Neighborhood Enhancement(PTNE)for the Collier County Public Service Division. CAT serves as the public transit provider for Collier County, serving the Naples, Marco Island, and Immokalee areas. It is the mission of CAT to provide safe, accessible and courteous public transportation services to our customers. Collier County is considered a complete brokerage system, contracting all of its operations currently to Keolis Transit America who is responsible for the day to day transit operations of the transit system including hiring, training and management of the bus operators and customer service personnel. Keolis currently employees 105 persons to run the CAT operations of which 27 handle the paratransit operations. The management and oversight of the Keolis contract is conducted by the Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM) Department, who has a total of 4.5 employees within the Transit section. Collier Area Transit's fixed route program had a total of 1,181,530 riders in fiscal year 2014 of which 24% is attributed to the rural areas. CAT currently offers 17 fixed routes though out Collier County of which four go to the non-urbanized/rural areas; Route 19 (Provides transportation to and from the Immokalee area to the Intermodal transfer Station), Route 121 (Provides an early morning and late evening express service between Immokalee and Marco Island), Route 23 and Route 24 (Provides a circulator within the rural Immokalee community). Because of the high poverty level and limited access to vehicles, many residents with the Immokalee community and surrounding areas rely on CAT for access to employment and to 7 .L Packet Page-1557- .. .............. 1 1/13/2015 16.D.13. ■ ■ 1 meet other personal needs. It is imperative that these residents are able to safely access CAT's bus stops to continue to support themselves and their families. I I 8 0 Packet Page -1558- 1/13/2015 16.D.13.

EXHIBIT B Proposed Project Description (not to exceed three (3) pages) The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is requesting FTA Section 5339 funds to improve 16 existing bus stops within the rural area of Collier County by bringing them into compliance with the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA). In addition, 5 of the 16 bus stops will have shelters constructed for the passengers benefit. Collier County recently adopted the Collier Area Transit Bus Stop Assessment which can be reviewed at: http://www.collierizov.net/index.aspx?page=7462. CAT currently has 548 bus stops. Of the total bus stops, the assessment concluded that a total of 35 bus stops were technically ADA compliant. For those bus stops that were identified with deficiencies, the deficiencies ranged from minor deficiencies (inadequate bus stop sign height) that are quickly and inexpensively corrected to major deficiencies (no boarding and alighting pad or surrounding infrastructure leading to stop not ADA compliant), requiring planning, design, coordination and potentially significant expense to correct. The study included a two-step prioritization process to help determine which improvements should be implemented first. The first step examined the conditions at each stop, its accessibility, the safety/security and its operational efficiency. The second step involved assessing factors that related to the frequency of use of the bus stop and nearby trip generators to determine the demand for the improvement. After the assessment and prioritizations were completed, the consultants completed an Implementation and Financial Plan that included cost estimates for the design and construction of recommended improvements. The plan estimated a total cost for the improvements at $3,538,200. Collier County is requesting funding for 16 rural bus stops. The average cost to bring 11 of the bus stops into ADA compliance is approximately $88.000 ($8,000 per stop). Each of the bus shelters cost approximately $35,000 for purchase. design, and installation. The total estimated cost for this project is $263,000. The Federal amount requested is $210,400. A 20% State match will be requested in the amount of$52,600. Section 5339 funding for these bus stops is essential to improve accessibility to CAT riders. Currently. 15 of the 16 bus stops shown in the attached list are within the Immokalee area. Immokalee is one of the three 'Rural Areas of Opportunity" (RAO) Florida has designated. This means that the area has been adversely affected by extraordinary economic events or natural disasters. According to the 2012 American Community Survey, approximately 48% of all families live below the poverty level in Immokalee and 17%of all residents use mass transit. The residents of Immokalee depend upon CAT to access employment and meet other needs such as medical and nutritional. Access to the transit system is vital to their well being. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners functions as the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) and provides public transportation services as Collier Area Transit (CAT). As previously noted, the County is under contract with Keolis Transit America, Inc. to provide the transit operations for the system. Keolis hires all bus operators, customer service staff, and administrative personnel to run the operations. The County compensates the vendor by the 10 Packet Page -1560- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. revenue hour including minor reimbursables. The Contractor is responsible for providing �` recommendations related to all fixed route bus service planning activities related to operations of CAT fixed route bus services including, but not limited to: bus routes, schedules, days and hours of operations, bus stop locations, location of bus stop improvements, preparation of all planning documents, cost estimates and other such activities relative to overall system administration, pending the County's review and approval. Periodic contract monitoring to ensure continued compliance with the service contract is the responsibility of the both the Contractor and the County. Safety Program A written safety program has been developed and is maintained by the Contractor which includes safety policies and practices, accident procedures and reporting, and other training materials and documented in the System Safety Program Plan (SSP) and the System Security Emergency Preparedness Plan (SSEPP). Collier County conducts an annual System Safety review of the Contractor to comply with safety requirements of Chapter 14-90, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The Contractor's documented safety program includes the following components: • Accident Response Plan • Accident Review Process and Analysis • Determination of an Accident as Preventable or Non-Preventable, Utilizing the National Safety Council (NSC) Guidelines • Employee Retraining Provisions • Driver Incentive Provisions • Programs and Methods to be Utilized to Promote Safety Awareness • Employee Training and Required Certifications The Contractor shall participate in tabletop, emergency preparedness training exercise as requested by the County. The contractor is considered essential personnel and shall be available upon request for evacuation and transportation for any emergency events 24/7. Drug& Alcohol Testing Program The Contractor administers a Drug and Alcohol (D&A) Program which meets all of the Federal and Collier County requirements. In addition, the Contractor requires all subcontractors providing services for the fixed route service to adhere to the testing requirements of this D&A program. CAT performs D&A testing in accordance with United Stated Department of Transportation (US DOT) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations, as defined in Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 40 and 655. The Contractor produces documentation necessary to establish its compliance with Title 49 CFR, Parts 653 and 654. 11 a' Packet Page-1561- 1/13/2015 16.D.13.

EXHIBIT A System Description Collier County is located in southwest Florida and is bordered on the north by Lee and Hendry counties, on the south by Monroe County,on the east by Broward and Dade counties, and on the west by the Gulf of Mexico. The county consists of three incorporated areas: Naples, Everglades City, and Marco Island. Collier County is approximately 2,025.3 square miles. At least 80 percent of the Collier I County land area has been set aside as preserve lands, including Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, two national wildlife refuges, one national research reserve, three state parks, one state forest, and a number of other public and private parks and nature preserves. In addition, Collier County has nearly 50 miles of public beaches and a vast area of Agricultural lands. The Collier County Board of County Commissioner is the governing body for the Public Transportation system in Collier County. The Public Transportation system, Collier Area Transit (CAT), operates under the supervision of the Collier County Department of Public Transit & Neighborhood Enhancement (PINE) (formally Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM)) for the Collier County Public Service Division. CAT serves as the public transit provider for Collier County, serving the Naples, Marco Island, and Immokalee areas. It is the mission of CAT to provide safe, accessible and courteous public transportation services to our customers. Collier County is considered a complete brokerage system, contracting all fixed route and paratransit operation services to Keolis Transit America who is responsible for the day to day transit operations of the transit system.

The management of the Keolis contract is conducted by the PTNE Department, who has a total of 4.5 employees within the Transit section. Collier Area Transit provides ADA and Transportation Disadvantaged trips to the citizens of Collier County, including those with disabilities, low income, and elderly in both the urbanized and non-urbanized areas of the County.

There are 4 additional transfer points in the system. Overall CAT provided 1,181,530 rides in 2014, with 3 routes averaging over 27 passengers per revenue hour. Packet Page -1587- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. Section 5311 funding for operating assistance is essential if service is to continue for the non-urbanized areas of the County. The 5311 grant helps fund five (5) non-urbanized/rural routes. According to the 2010 Census majority of the County's workforce lives in the rural area and majority of the activity centers are within the urban area. Activity centers include major employers, health care centers and public services. Route 19 (Golden Gate Estate/Immokalee Shuttle), provides a shuttle to and from the Immokalee area and services the Golden Gate Estates area to the transfer station at the Collier County Government Center. This route serves to bring the residents of the rural area to the urban areas where our activity centers are located and provides access for those passengers to return home. Route 121 (Immokalee/Marco Express), provides an early morning and late evening express service between Immokalee and Marco Island. This express route serves to bring the residents of the rural area to the urban areas where the major employers are located and provides access for those passengers to return to home. Both routes (19 and 121) further the federal goal of the program to enhance the access of low-income individuals and others within the non-urbanized area to employment. Route 22 and Route 23 (Immokalee Circulator), provide continuous public transit service within the rural community of Immokalee. Route 24 (US 41 East/Charlee Estates), provides access to residents in the rural areas east of Collier Boulevard off East Tamiami Trail to services and employment in the urban areas. Only that portion of Route 24 that serves the rural area is being funded with 5311 grant funds. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Collier Area Transit (CAT) is requesting FTA Section 5311 funds in the total project amount of $838,100. State match funds in the amount of $419,050 (50%). This will be matched with local funds in the amount of$419,050 (50%). Funds from this grant will be used to continue operation of fixed route to provide access to people in non-urbanized areas to health care, shopping, education, employment, public services and recreation. Because many of these services are not available in the rural area, most people must travel to the urban areas in order to receive these services. These funds will be used to fund routes that are open to the general public and are not subject to the prioritization process as described in the Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan (TDSP). Ridership The system experienced a spike in ridership in Fiscal Year 2013 which can be explained by the peak of the recession with most residents utilizing those resources available that would help to stretch their dollars. Transit is an affordable means of getting round the community and we believe many residents took advantage of its affordability. Packet Page -1588- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. The Table below provides ridership information for the non-urbanized area which represents approximately 20%of ridership on the overall system.

EXHIBIT B Proposed Project Description (not to exceed three (3) pages) Section 5311 Funding for operating assistance is essential to continue the existing level of service being provided for the non-urbanized areas of the County. The 5311 grant helps fund five (5) non-urbanized/rural routes. Route 19 (Golden Gate Estate/Immokalee Shuttle), serves to bring the residents of the rural area to the urban areas where our activity centers are located and provides access for those passengers to return home. Activity centers include major employers, health care centers and public services. Route 121 (Immokalee/Marco Express), serves to bring the residents of the rural area to the urban areas where the major employers are located and provides access for those passengers to return to home. Both routes further the federal goal of the program to enhance the access of low-income individuals and others within the non-urbanized area to employment. Route 22 and Route 23 (Immokalee Circulator), provide continuous public transit service within the rural community of Immokalee. Route 24 (US 41 East/Charlee Estates), provides access to residents in the rural areas east of Collier Boulevard off East Tamiami Trail to services and employment in the urban areas. Only that portion of Route 24 that serves the rural area is being funded with 5311 grant funds. Service hours for these routes vary from as early as 3:45 a.m. to as late as 8:20 p.m. The above described service will provide access to people in non-urbanized areas to health care, shopping, education, employment, public services and recreation. How the Transit Program Operations is currently funded Collier County currently provides about $2 million dollars each year from local funds to provide fixed route services. Grant funds help to expand resources so that transit services can be provided to those who need it most. If this grant is not fully funded Collier Area Transit, as many other transit agencies across the nation, is facing tough financial times and local funds contribution is stagnate. Should the State not approve this grant, CAT may be forced to reduce routes. With a reduction in service, many passengers would not have access to medical, work, recreational, and other life sustaining activities that public transit n o w makes possible. I t is critical that Collier Area Transit receives these 5311 funds to continue to provide access to people in the non-urbanized area of Collier County to these services. Funding Request Packet Page -1591- =t a 1/13/2015 16.D.13. CAT is requesting FTA Section 5311 funds in the total project amount of $838,100. The State contribution to the project would be $419,050 (50%) while the County would be required to provide a local match in the amount of $419,050 (50%). Funds for the grant will be used to continue operation of fixed route in the non-urbanized area of Collier County to continue to provide access to people in non-urbanized areas to health care, shopping, education, employment, public services and recreation. Because many of these services are not available in the rural area, most people must travel to the urban areas in order to receive these services. Packet Page -1592- 1/13/2015 16.D.13.

Introduction Collier Area Transit, (d.b.a. "CAT") began its fixed route service in February 2001, offering service in Collier County,to include the cities of Naples, Marco Island and the Immokalee area. Collier Area Transit (CAT) operates under the supervision of the Collier County Department of Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM) for the Collier County Public Services Division. CAT provides public transit service including fixed-route bus, express bus, Americans with Disabilities (ADA) and Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) paratransit service. CAT coordinates through the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantage with the transportation vendor providing public transportation services to Medicaid individuals. CAT is submitting this report to the Federal Transit Administration, (FTA), providing a program to ensure that transit services made available is equitably distributed, and provides equal access and mobility to any person, without regard to race, color, or national origin. This program is updated every three (3) years and received approval by FTA through April 4, 2014. This program has been prepared pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964;Title 49, Chapter 53, Section 5332 of the United States Code; and the FTAs Circular 4702.1B, "Title VI Program Guidelines for Federal Transit Administration Recipients," ( October 1, 2012). The contents of this program exceed the requirement of a Public Transit Provider of its size. Although CAT provides service with fewer than 50 fixed route vehicles in peak, this update will provide compliance with all parameters of the FTA Title VI Compliance Checklist for All Grantees and Urbanized Areas with a Population of 200,000 or more shown below as Table 1 and Table 2, respectively.The source for both tables is the FTA website.

Ensure that the level and quality of federally-assisted services are sufficient to provide equal access and mobility to all persons. 3. Ensure adequate opportunities for all to participate in the planning and decision-making processes. 4. Ensure that placement of transit services and facilities are equitable. 5. Ensure that corrective and remedial actions are taken for all applications and receipts of federal assistance to prevent discriminatory treatment of any beneficiary. 6. Provide procedures for investigating Title VI complaints. 7. Take responsible steps for ensuring that meaningful access to programs and activities is provided for persons with Limited English Proficiency. 8. Inform the public of their rights under Title VI. • Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 4 Packet Page-1602- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. Background Collier County, like most jurisdictions, has been drastically impacted by the downward housing market and the economy over the past several years. It has been a challenge to continue to provide public transportation services in an area that due to the economic downturn, the budget for CAT has decreased or remained stagnant over the recent years. The challenge is that with a reduction in disposable income the public is looking for more affordable options like public transportation. Consequently, after an initial reduction in ridership with the initial reduction in jobs, ridership on the CAT system has increased to record levels over the last 2 years. The demand for service coupled with budget constraints has prompted service restructuring and adjustments for efficiency purposes. The greater number of service adjustments occurred in January 2011, and are described in more detail later in this document.Table 3 presents the CAT budget over the past five years. Despite these budgetary changes, CAT continues to provide public transit service aimed at serving the maximum number of persons in the most efficient and equitable manner.

Over the past three years, CAT has completed a Comprehensive Operations Analysis (COA) and three (3) Minor Transit Development Plan (TDP) Updates, which have allowed ample opportunity for public input into the planning, service delivery, and capital investment program process. These planning resources have also provided CAT with significant data on its customers and the surrounding area that can be used for identification of service area populations and any necessary equity analysis prior to proceeding with decision-making activities. From the TDP/COA on-board survey, CAT was able to identify its typical rider and determine its customers' qualitative and quantitative opinions of the service provided and focus areas for future service and capital purchases. The TDP also provides an in-depth analysis of how CAT performs in comparison with peer agencies. Many aspects of the TDP and COA will be utilized to support compliance with Title VI guidelines and the full documents can be found on the CAT website at http://www.colliergov.net/CAT. The public transit services in Collier County, provided by CAT, are governed by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners.The commissioners are elected in accordance with the State of Florida District Designations as follows: Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 5 Packet Page -1603- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. • District 1—Donna Fiala • District 2—Georgia A. Hiller • District 3—Tom Henning • District 4—Fred W. Coyle • District 5—Tim Nance The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is the official decision-making body for Collier County and, because they are elected by the general public, CAT has no ability to ensure that there is adequate representation of minorities on this body. CAT utilizes a newly appointed Public Transit Advisory Committee (PTAC) as well as the Collier MPO and its committees to assist in decision-making. The MPO has a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), a Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Local Coordinating Board (LCB)who are consulted for transit decisions.

CAT's employees who have extensive daily contact with the public, recognize its responsibility to the community it serves and is committed to a policy of non-discrimination. Governed by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners and serving the cities of Naples, Marco Island, Everglades City, the Immokalee community, and other areas of unincorporated Collier County,CAT complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. It is CAT's policy to ensure non-discriminatory transportation practices throughout Collier County. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance. Specifically, Title VI provides that "no person in the United States 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. Environmental Justice (EJ) Executive Order 12898 included as a component of the Title VI requirements guarantees fair treatment for all people regardless of race and income. The requirements under EJ include CAT identifying and addressing, as appropriate, any potential disproportionate and/or adverse impact of its programs, policies, and activities on minority and low-income populations. In addition to EJ considerations in the administration of public transit, CAT in accordance with Executive Order 13166 will undertake reasonable steps to ensure that Limited English Proficiency (LEP) persons have meaningful access to programs, services, and information. The three fundamental Environmental Justice concepts are to: 1. Avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects, including social and economic effects, on minority and low-income populations. 2. Ensure the full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities in the transportation decision-making process. 3. Prevent a denial, reduction, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits by minority and low- income populations. The Public Transit Manager has been designated as the CAT Civil Rights Officer responsible for civil rights compliance and monitoring to ensure the nondiscriminatory provision of transit services and programs. In addition to the Transit Manager, the ATM Director and all Transit agency staff share in the responsibility of making CAT's Title VI program a success. Title VI compliance is given the utmost importance by CAT and its governing board.

A copy of the signed Certifications and Assurances is provided in Appendix A, including the 01 Assurance required for each applicant, which incorporates the following sections: D. Non-Discrimination Assurance E. Assurance of Non-Discrimination on the basis of disability The Certifications and Assurances were electronically signed and submitted on February 27, 2013. CAT has a process in place that staff follows to prepare for the annual execution of the FTA Annual Certifications and Assurances.Transit staff prepares a request to the County Attorney's Office for review and approval. Upon review,the Public Service Division Administrator is notified of the County Attorney's approval and the Administrator executes the document. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners has delegated the Public Services Division Administrator with the obligation to review and execute the Certifications and Assurances. Upon review and acceptance, the County Attorney, and the Public Service Division Administrator complete the requirements for execution of the Certifications and Assurances. Program Specific Requirements Civil Rights Compliance Review Activities Internal Review Process for Service Delivery and Capital Programs Decisions As previously stated, CAT implemented a Title VI Internal Interview Review process that provides an opportunity for staff to review decisions related to service delivery and capital investments. In addition, the Mobility Manager acts as a secondary Title VI review to the Office of Equal Opportunity for CAT- related activities. Due to the Grants Analyst review and approval of the use of grant funding,this process Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 10 Packet Page -1608- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. affords CAT an additional step to ensure equity in capital investments. During CAT staff meetings to discuss service delivery, service changes, and/or capital investments, managers discuss with the ATM Director potential implications of proposed actions prior to moving forward with implementation. Because the ATM Director has ultimate responsibility for the agency's services and the compliance with Title VI guidelines,these meetings provide an opportunity to ensure equity through internal review. Public Involvement CAT's public involvement process is two-fold in that the CAT has its own Public Participation Plan (PPP) but the agency also participated in the Collier MPO public involvement activities to ensure that a wider range of opportunities are available for all persons to provide feedback on public transit service. The CAT process has been designed to obtain a wide range of input from the community of both users and non-users. The CAT PPP can be reviewed in its entirety on the CAT website at www.colliergov.net/CAT and additional details on the public involvement activities are found in the Limited English Proficiency section of this Plan. Through participation with the community, CAT can gather public input on a daily basis. As part of the public involvement, the general public is provided an opportunity to comment on CAT's services and capital investments through the Public Transit Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, the MPO Committees and MPO Board Meetings. They also are provided an additional opportunity when those same items viewed through the MPO process are taken to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners. CAT recognizes that in compliance with Title VI, public involvement activities must focus on low-income and minority populations and thereby ensures access to the transportation planning process for low- income and minority populations through its public involvement process. As part of CAT's public outreach process all meeting notices, press releases, and public service announcements are translated into other languages as requested or needed based on documentation of previous requests. CAT staff refreshes the printed materials monthly or as needed and monitors the frequency of requests for other than English materials. In addition, whenever possible, CAT utilizes pictographs to display information and instructions. Bus cards and printed schedules are also utilized to convey information on CAT's Title VI requirements. Future service planning efforts often include the dissemination of customer demographic and opinion surveys to collect information about who is using the service and how the service could be improved for those persons. CAT disseminates on-board surveys in English and Spanish to ensure that Spanish speaking customers have meaningful access to provide input in the planning process. This process also reaches out to obtain input from low-income and minority persons who may not attend a formal public meeting. As a result of the public outreach process implemented by CAT, portions of the Golden Gate Estates and other low-income and minority areas in the eastern most portion of the county have been identified by the public as areas in need of transportation options. CAT, through its upcoming Transit Development Plan (TDP)will be defining ways to efficiently provide transportation service to these areas. Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 11 Packet Page-1609- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. Project Level Public Involvement and Outreach Activities Transit Development Plan (TDP) CAT, as part of the process for planning services and determining its capital program, develops a Transit Development Plan (TDP).The TDP is a requirement of the FDOT. Statute requires Florida transit agencies to complete a major update every five years and in the interim years provide annual progress reports on any changes and accomplishments in implementing the Plan. The TDP is a requirement to receive block grant operating assistance from the FDOT. CAT completed its Major TDP Update in September 2010 for fiscal years 2011-2020. As part of the TDP process, CAT develops a 10-year operating and capital financial plan, which is inclusive of its Program of Projects (POP). Through the TDP public involvement process, the community has an opportunity to provide feedback on existing and future planning projects, transit services, and capital investments and the POP. Depending on the type of public involvement activity,direct invitations are sent, notices are placed in a newspaper of general circulation, flyers are placed on vehicles and at public facilities, and information is provided on the CAT and/or MPO websites. The most recent TDP Major Update included an extensive public involvement process. The 2011-2020 TDP Update public involvement activities were as follows: • Review Committee Meetings - A project committee of stakeholders from throughout the community were invited to guide the TDP process and review documentation. • Stakeholders Interviews - To assess the attitudes of key local officials and community leaders regarding the transit system, nine stakeholder interviews were conducted political and community leaders' views on transit's current and future role in the community, transit finance and governance, and other issues relevant to the transit plan. • Public Workshops-Thee public workshops were conducted, one in January 2010, at the Golden Gate Community Center and two in June 2010, one at the Immokalee Library and the other at the Collier County Museum directly adjacent to the Primary Transfer Station for the system. The public workshop included a presentation of the TDP development process, key findings from the stakeholder interviews completed to-date, the peer review selection process and results, and the trend review results. After the presentation, participants were asked to break into four groups to complete an interactive exercise. The interactive exercise required the meeting participants to improve or expand transit services within the County using a limited amount of funding. • Transit Survey - A short survey was administered at each of these workshops to collect participant opinions on specific transportation- and transit-related issues, as well as basic demographic information and attitudinal information regarding the importance of specific aspects of CAT service. • On-Board Survey - On-Board surveys were conducted during the month of February 2010. The surveys were translated into both Spanish and Creole language versions for distribution to Spanish and Creole-speaking patrons who were not able to complete the English version. A total of 1,504 CAT bus riders responded to the survey. For analysis purposes, the 23 questions on the survey were divided into three major categories. Analysis categories include travel characteristics, rider demographics,and customer service and satisfaction. Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 12 Packet Page-1610- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. • Discussion Groups - To supplement the information collected during the public workshops and to support the TDP update process, three discussion groups were scheduled in geographically diverse locations across the County. • Collier MPO and Committees -The TDP methodologies and document are taken to the MPO for feedback and approval.All MPO Board and Committee meetings are open to the public. • Collier County Board of County Commissioners - Prior to submittal to the FDOT, the CAT governing board must adopt the TDP. The meeting for adoption of the TDP is a regular County Commission meeting noticed in accordance with the Florida Sunshine Law and open to the general public. CAT recognizes that its operators have the majority of contact with customers who provide them with input on the system; therefore, during the update to the TDP, CAT also gathered public input through operators. Bus operators are a valuable source of information as they reflect the eyes and ears on the road for CAT's daily operation. Operator insight into public opinion and need can also supplement information that cannot be collected through other means. Information can include safety and security issues, an understanding of travel characteristics on specific routes, and representation of needs for those who may not be willing to participate in other public outreach activities. To gather feedback from operators the operators were interviewed. The first year of the TDP financial plan is used as the agency's POP (Program of Projects).The POP is also provided to the Collier MPO for use in the development of the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). Through the Collier MPO's TIP process, the POP is available for additional public comment. CAT publishes the POP at the time of grant application. Fare Increases and Service Changes The Collier County Board of County Commissioners, in its efforts to ensure Title VI Compliance, established local guidelines for service changes and fare increases as part of the Transit Development Plan. Major service changes require a public hearing announcement in a newspaper of general circulation (the Naples Daily News) and Board of County Commissioners approval. Determination as to whether or not a modification constitutes a major change is determined on a case-by-case basis, with the exception of total elimination of a specific route service which is automatically considered a major service reduction.The CAT Route Fare or Service Change Policy is provided in Appendix C of this plan. In 2012 CAT conducted a fare equity analysis to evaluate the fare structure for the system. This study has been completed to meet the FTA Title VI requirement and in an effort to examine potential alternatives for generating additional revenue to cover the operating budget shortfall. CAT at the time was experiencing an 8 to 10 percent increase in paratransit trips resulting in an anticipated FY 2013 shortfall of$164,000 to $250,000, depending on the actual increase in ridership for the complete fiscal year. To avoid any reductions in current transit services, CAT had to generate additional revenue and create efficiencies within the existing system. In compliance with FTA Circular 4702.1A, minority and low-income populations were examined to determine whether any disproportionate impacts would occur based on the potential fare changes. In addition, if a disproportionate impact was identified, justification on how an alternate action would Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 13 Packet Page -1611- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. result in an even greater impact to these populations or actions to mitigate the potential impacts has been identified. Section 7 of the report includes the fare equity analysis that is required when considering the implementation of a fare change. The analysis was completed using the County's most recently available demographics and transit agency statistics. Public outreach efforts during the fare study indicated that the implementation of a fare increase rather than any future service elimination is preferred by the general public. The analysis demonstrates that alternatives other than an across the board $1.00 increase may disproportionately impact the low- income and minority populations using the CAP system. Therefore, the fare equity analysis concludes that implementation of the$1.00 across the board fare increase to TD and ADA customers should be the preferred alternative and is justified under the Title VI program in accordance with FTA Circular 4702.1A. The Board of County Commissioners approved a fare increase of $1.00 for the paratransit service on April 24,2012. There have been no further changes to the CAT fare structure since that time. Service Changes CAT completes minor service changes on a regular basis related to running time adjustments to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of service. Ridership and stop-level automatic passenger counter (APC) data along with supervisor and operator input are utilized when making these minor service changes. Prior to a service change, CAT posts notices on-board its vehicles to notify customers of the impending change. Customers are always able to comment on services and proposed changes using the CAT customer service or by through the County website by clicking on the link "Contact ATM Department" and send their comments by email to AltTransModes@colliergov.net. All comments are tracked and responded to, if warranted. Table 7:Service Changes Since the Last Title VI Update through December 2013 Route Type of Change January 2011 Route 1A This route was converted into the new Route 10. This route operates Monday through Saturday with limited service on Sunday. Route 3A A timed transfer option was added at the CAT Operations Facility on Radio Road. Route 3B A timed transfer option was added at the CAT Operations Facility on Radio Road. Route 5 Three additional trips were added as well as a timed transfer option was added at the CAT Operations Facility on Radio Road. Route 6 Re-aligned to include the addition of service along Pine Ridge Road establishing a much needed and requested east/west connection in Collier County. Route 8 Added an additional bus stop at 2050 Commerce Avenue, allowing passengers in the rural area of Immokalee additional access to a variety of human services. March 2011 Route 5 Due to route demand and public feedback,this modification was revised in March 2011 to add the segment along Davis Boulevard back to the Route and allow it to continue to the Government Center. Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 14 Packet Page-1612- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. Major service changes, which represent modification to a route or a route's ridership without elimination of the route, are reviewed through CAT's internal meeting process, where managers, the Department Director, and the Mobility Manager (serving as the secondary Title VI contact) review the impact of the potential route modifications. These types of service changes occur when a route is deemed to be a consistent low performer with regard to ridership,farebox recovery, and latent demand from the service area of the route (evaluated using APC data) or when the agency's budget has been cut requiring service reductions. For these route changes, the public has an opportunity to comment consistent with the adopted CAT PPP. Service elimination is the final type of service change that might have an adverse impact to Title VI populations. Extensive analysis and public input is required for the elimination of a route. To ensure compliance with Title VI requirements, public meetings are to be conducted in locations that are convenient and accessible for minority and LEP communities. Coordination with community- and faith- based organizations, educational institutions, and other organizations to implement public engagement strategies that reach out specifically to members of affected minority and/or LEP communities. Multiple means of communication will be offered to the public and notices of such communication efforts will be consistent with the adopted CAT PPP. Service increases may be implemented with approval of the Department Director with final decision to implement any major service changes (as defined Appendix C of this report) made by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners. The Alternative Transportation Modes(ATM) Department is responsible for the direction of CAT services and, as such, has initiated this Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) to evaluate existing fixed-route services to identify short term (five-year) recommendations for maximizing route efficiencies and service in Collier County and the surrounding areas. As times change and dynamics change, the Collier County Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM) and CAT request that the Collier MPO jointly conduct this review of current public transportation services through the COA process. The analyses conducted through a COA provides the transit agency with a wealth of objective information for use in business planning, including use of services provided and how those services meet the needs of the customers. In order to determine the community's transportation needs, data was gathered from a number of sources including an on-board survey of bus passengers, discussions with drivers who interact with customers daily, and discussions with CAT staff and supervisors about where service can be improved. The following factors were evaluated from the data for each route as part of the service analysis: ridership patterns, span of service, frequency of service, transfers, schedule adherence, and overall route productivity, efficiency and effectiveness. Based on this analysis, service operation recommendations were made. The recommendations were created to meet both passenger needs and address CAT operational needs.

Table 8:Service Change Recommended Related to the COA-Effective May 2014 Route COA Recommendation ALL Local Service(Route 1—99)—CAT local bus service will be the backbone of the Collier County transit system. NA Rapid Transit Service(R-500 series used for route numbers)—Rapid transit service for Collier County is for service along primary corridors with frequent bus service and transit vehicle preemption.CAT does not have this type of service today. 7 Express Service(100 series used for route numbers)—CAT currently operates express service to Marco Island. Description of the Agency's Criteria for Selecting Transit Providers to Participate in any FTA Grant Program The Collier County Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM) Department is responsible for planning, operating, and managing CAT public transportation services through a contract operator. CAT utilized the Collier County procurement process to ensure that the procurement process is fair and open to all providers. CAT transit services have always been contracted since its inception in 2001 and have not affected the level of service for the system. If any changes in the contracted provision of service results in a change to the level of service provided, an analysis of such change on Title VI populations will be conducted and submitted to FTA as an addendum to this plan. If any adverse impact is found through the analysis, appropriate and swift action will be taken to remedy or mitigate the impact. In addition, the CAT Disadvantaged Business.Enterprise Program is incorporated into the procurement to allow disadvantaged businesses an opportunity to provide service. There has been no Transit providers that receives grant funding through CAT however in the event that occurs CAT requires Transit providers to complete CAT's customer service and ADA training course and agree to the same FTA Certifications and Assurances as CAT. Having the Certifications and Assurances as well as the sub-recipient monitoring allows CAT to ensure that contract transit providers are delivering service in an equitable and non- discriminatory manner. Final approval of any selected transit provider is completed by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners at County Commission meetings, which are advertised and open to the public. Process for Ensuring that all Sub-recipients are Complying with the General Reporting Requirements of this Circular As previously stated, CAT will complete sub-recipient training and monitoring to ensure that sub- recipients are complying with all Certifications and Assurances, including those regarding nondiscrimination. Sub-recipient training will consist of assistance with compliance with DOT's Title VI regulations, including the general reporting requirements; assistance as necessary and appropriate with the provision of sample forms, notices and procedures, including demographic information on the race and English proficiency of residents served by the sub-recipient. The monitoring would be randomly scheduled for all sub-recipients to ensure compliance. Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 16 Packet Page -1614- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. A Description of the Procedures the Agency uses to Pass-through FTA Financial Assistance in a Non- Discriminatory Manner The following procedure has been established to be utilized when FTA funds are pass-through to sub- recipients. CAT utilizes an independent selection committee comprised of various racial backgrounds to assist in the decision making regarding FTA financial assistance. CAT will confirm that the agency is valid to operate in the state and is registered with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Applications for assistance from CAT are then provided to the independent selection committee for review and comment. The selection committee is provided a form for rating contractors and guidance on each rating category. The selection committee is not allowed to discuss the applications until the advertised selection committee meeting, which is open to the public. For all uses of FTA financial assistance the Collier County procurement process and federal purchasing guidelines are utilized. Whenever, there is a conflict between the Collier County Procurement Policy and the Federal Procurement Guidelines and FTA funding is being utilized the Federal Procurement Guidelines are utilized throughout the purchasing process. Collier County provides vendor of all procurement opportunities to allow open and non- discriminatory access on its website. The full procurement policies for Collier County can be found on their website at: http://www.colliergov.net/index.aspx?page=762 Narrative of Implementation of Internal Review Process for at Least One Service Delivery or Capital Program Decision that was Implemented in the Past 3 Years CAT made limited service adjustment in the past 3 years. However, CAT is in the process of making a number of service adjustments and route restructuring in response to route monitoring, passenger requests and findings of its COA. As part of the COA process, CAT provided various opportunities for public input including an on-board survey. CAT also conducted a route-by-route assessment of existing services to determine those services that were efficient and inefficient. CAT through the COA process had vehicle loads, capacity, headways, and access monitored and received recommendations. Prior to approval of the recommendations, notice will be published in the Naples Daily News affording the public an opportunity to comment. During the COA, various staff meetings were held to review the route-level recommendations and any potential implications. Additional internal review and public input will be obtained prior to receiving approval by the Board of County Commissioners for implementation of the route restructuring recommendations. Most of these changes will occur within the next 3 year and information will be updated in the next Title VI plan. Appropriate evaluation will be conducted to insure that any route restricting implemented will not created a disparity in the provision of public transit service to Title VI protected classes. Disparity in Levels and Quality of Service No disparities in either levels or quality of service during the past three (3) years have been found. A review of the CAT service area maps and minority census tracts was completed to ensure that service is provided in an equitable manner. The LEP and Environmental Justice sections of this Plan further identify CAT's compliance with Title VI. Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 17 Packet Page-1615- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. Service Standards and Policies CAT service standards and policies are reviewed regularly to ensure equitable transit service to all persons in Collier County.The following categories are evaluated to ensure equitable transit service: • Level of Service by County and Minority Group — CAT provides service throughout Collier County. It is CAT's goal that its service is provided to the majority of minority census tracts, as funding permits. • Vehicle Load—CAT, as shown in the TDP capacity analysis included in Section 4 has capacity on the majority of its routes. During various peak times, excessive loads are experienced on two routes. The COA identified capacity issues on three routes and made recommendations to improve the capacity through route modifications. CAT's goal is to operate vehicle loads at a threshold that meets safety and performance standards. When reviewing CAT APC data, routes with excessive loads will be identified so that, as funding permits, scheduling or routing adjustments can be made. • Vehicle Assignments — CAT randomly assigns vehicles to routes on a daily basis to assure that there are no equity issues.The random daily assignment prevents specific vehicles being placed on specific routes and also ensures that all routes will have access to newer vehicles. While the vehicle assignment process is random, CAT does review APC data during the process to ensure that the vehicle size meets the capacity requirements on each route. It is important to note that some routes have vehicle size restrictions based on the operating environment; therefore, the vehicle assignments on those routes are based on vehicle size rather than random selection of the entire fleet. • Service Headways— Headways are reviewed when vehicle load issues arise based on review of stop-level data, when customer service or operator complaints are received, or when public requests for additional services are received through the various opportunities for public input. When funding is available, headways are increased on routes without excess capacity or in areas that, because of development patterns, have greater density to successfully support increased transit service. When adjustments are made to headways, the CAT staff reviews the system to ensure that there are no disparate impacts created from the frequency adjustments. • Transit Access — CAT makes every effort to ensure that transit services are accessible to all persons in Collier County and are provided in a manner consistent with the ADA of 1990. Transit access is reviewed during the TDP process to determine whether there are areas without access and develop a cost feasible financial plan to provide service in the future. The TDP process also encourages CAT to continue working with other county departments and other agencies to review and approve development in areas with existing transit service or require new developers to assist in providing additional transit service. The COA conducted in February 2013 combined with the TDP Major Update last completed in September 2010, provided two key opportunities for CAT to complete an in-depth review of its levels of service and the manner in which services are provided.The next TDP will be completed in September 2015. • On-time Performance — CAT has historically reported its on-time performance by a sampling process because of a lack of man-power and technology to do otherwise. When it comes to on- Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 18 Packet Page-1616- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. time performance there are a number of factors that affect the timeliness of the system including traffic conditions resulting from seasonal population increase during the winter months. CAT made the investment of installing new technology in the form of mobile data terminals (MDT) and advanced vehicle locators (AVL) in 2013 and is in the process of collecting the necessary data to utilize for correcting time points so that the schedules can be adjusted to more accurately reflect arrivals at stops. The time point corrections along with schedule modification will be implemented in June 2014. Vehicles for the paratransit system have also been updated with new technology and currently have a reported on-time performance of 89%. Staff is working diligently to improve the performance to 90% or better for both modes. CAT understand that whether early or late, service that does not consistently retain on time performance will negatively influence both customer perceptions about the system and the effectiveness and efficiency of the system as a whole. Table 9 presents the existing service levels, including service span, frequency, and geographic area served for each of the existing CAT routes.

As a department of Collier County, CAT works with the Collier County's Security Personnel on campaigns and efforts that increase the safety and security of the transit system. Other transit security efforts Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 19 Packet Page-1617- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. completed by CAT include regular training sessions with the Collier County Emergency Management Staff in coordination with local Fire and Law Enforcement Departments on Tabletop sessions, and the installation of cameras on buses. CAT also maintains a preventative maintenance schedule in accordance with FTA guidelines to ensure the safe performance of vehicles. Assessment of Compliance Monitoring As stated earlier in this Plan, CAT conducts several efforts to monitor the quality of the service it provides. Regular monitoring efforts including service review and amenities placement, are conducted by CAT. Quarterly monitoring efforts to review service for Title VI compliance include, but are not limited to, various planning studies such as the TDP and COA. As part of the monitoring activities, CAT also reviews travel patterns and journey to work characteristics of the County population. CAT utilizes staff input and public feedback to monitor performance as well as conduct a review of statistical data reported to the National Transit Database. As part of its monitoring, CAT also reviews the performance of peer agencies to ensure that it is on par with the performance of similarly-sized or adjacent area transit systems. The peer review is included as Appendix E. As part of CAT's monitoring process, the following procedures and guidelines are carried out to monitor compliance with Title VI. Periodic compliance assessments are undertaken to determine whether transit service provided by CAT to minority communities and minority users is consistent with the objectives of this Plan. The assessments will identify possible areas of noncompliance and implement corrective actions to include the following: • Establish procedures for developing and maintaining standards for compliance with Title VI. • Establish internal guidelines for making determinations of compliance with Title VI as part of the local decision-making processes and continue project management and contract administration responsibilities. • Establish internal guidelines for making determinations. • Evaluate system-wide service changes and proposed improvements at the planning and programming stages to determine whether the overall benefits and costs of such changes or improvements are distributed equitably and are not discriminatory. • Conduct compliance assessments of transit services and benefits to assure compliance with the spirit and intent of Title VI. • Take action on findings and recommendations made by review officials to remedy such findings. Other Areas of Title VI Considerations Information Dissemination CAT will continue to provide information to minority communities and the general public using its website, public notices, meetings, workshops, hearings, presentations, and posting information on vehicles.Additional public information dissemination to minority and low-income populations is covered Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 20 Packet Page-1618- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. in the LEP section of this Plan. CAT staff will also continue to participate at various community events throughout Collier County to disseminate information. Minority Representation on Decision-Making Bodies CAT will continue to utilize the Collier Public Transit Ad-Hoc Advisory Committee (PTAC) and if applicable, supplement with the Collier MPO process for decision-making and will encourage diversity on these committees. Customer Service Surveys CAT from time to time will conduct customer surveys to assess its performance and gather information on market demands. Customer survey information can be a useful tool in assessing performance and guiding future direction. Incorporating Corrective Action Upon identification of the need for corrective action by the FTA, CAT will commence corrective actions to remedy identified deficiencies and incorporate the corrective actions into the Transportation Improvement Plan to assure compliance with Title VI. Procedures CAT will maintain procedures identified in this Plan to assure continued compliance with Title VI. These procedures will allow for comparing the level and quality of transit services against overall system averages. These procedures will document both the Level of Service Methodology and the Quality of Service Methodology used. Public Information In compliance with the requirement of the U.S. Department of Justice, the Department of Transportation, and the FTA, the following information will be disseminated and made available to the public upon request. 1. This plan and its requirements will be made available to the public upon request and will be available for review from the CAT website or in the CAT offices during regular business hours. 2. CAT will maintain records and submit compliance reports and assessments as required and make available such information to the general public upon request. Filing a Discrimination Complaint Collier County has provided procedures for filing complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. Information on how to file a complaint is provided through the County Manager's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, on CAT's website, and appears routinely on publications, interior bus cards, schedules, and on other materials available at public facilities. The information is also posted at the CAT administrative facility, at the Transfer terminals, and at other public facilities frequented by transit users such as libraries and community health centers. Any person who believes that he or she, individually or as a member of any specific class of persons, has been subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin may file a written Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 21 Packet Page-1619- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. complaint with the FTA or the Secretary of Transportation. Persons are encouraged to first notify Collier County and file a complaint through the local office. Limited English Proficiency Executive Order 13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), was signed by President Clinton in August 2000. The Executive Order directs each federal agency to examine the services it provides and develop and implement a system by which LEP persons can meaningfully access those services. Failure to ensure opportunities for LEP persons to effectively participate in or benefit from federally-assisted programs may constitute national origin discrimination. As a public transportation provider receiving federal funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), CAT has a responsibility, under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to take reasonable steps to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to benefits, services, information, and other important programs and activities provided by CAT. LEP persons include individuals who have a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English. Many LEP persons rely on public transit services to achieve greater mobility and access to employment. Creating a positive environment for LEP persons may help to retain existing riders and attract new riders who otherwise would be excluded based on language barriers. The DOT developed LEP guidance to assist public transit agencies in determining the best ways to comply with the statutory and regulatory LEP obligations. Transit agencies should conduct an LEP needs assessment based on the four-factor framework. Four-Factor Framework The four-factor framework includes four steps that assist transit agencies in developing a cost effective mix of language assistance measures. The factors that should be considered during the LEP needs assessment include: 1. The number and proportion of LEP persons served or encountered in the eligible service population; 2. The frequency with which LEP persons come into contact with the agency's programs, activities, and services; 3. The importance of the programs, activities, and services to LEP persons; and 4. The cost and resources available. Collier Area Transit (CAT) Service Area CAT provides over 1.1 million trips each year within the Collier County area. CAT is continually providing information to LEP residents of the community. Over 15 percent of the population residing in the CAT service area who are five years of age or older speak a language other than English. Due to the number of persons speaking a language other than English, CAT has translated the system maps into Spanish and provides instructive information to the public on its website in Spanish and Creole. The County website also has a device that allows viewers to translate the information on the website into Spanish, Creole, French and German. In addition, CAT provides printed information in Spanish at all stations and public locations disseminating CAT information. --� Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 22 Packet Page-1620- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. CAT has developed this LEP Plan to document the steps being taken to provide assistance for LEP persons seeking meaningful access to CAT programs and to identify any additional LEP needs that are not being met through the existing information dissemination processes. The number and proportion of LEP persons within the CAT service area was assessed using a mix of data sources, including the 2010 Census and the 2012 American Community Survey (ACS) 5 year estimates. The ACS data were reviewed to determine the number of people who speak English "very well" and "less than very well" for each Census tract within the CAT service area. Collier County Public Schools (CCPS) enrollment data were also assessed to determine the percentage of LEP children who may encounter CAT services. In addition, community organizations that serve LEP persons can provide input that confirms the data collected from other sources. The geographic boundaries of the CAT service area and the existing routes that have been modified based on recent recommendations from the CAT staff are presented in Maps 1. All Census tracts with an LEP population percentage above the Collier County average (16%) are depicted in yellow. Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 23 Packet Page-1621- 1/13/2015 16.D.13.

According to the latest statistics provided by Collier County Public Schools, English is not the first language for nearly 15 percent of the students with more than 6,500 students enrolled in the English Language Learners (ELL) program. Collectively, these students speak 80 different heritage languages and hail from 114 different countries of origin. More than 49 percent of the students live in non-English homes, where English is not the first language and sometimes is not even spoken. The percentage increases to more than 54 percent in grades Pre-K through 3, where learning to read is so critical. These students and their parents may rely on public transit for transportation to school and other activities. The table below presents the percentage of LEP students enrolled at the School District of Collier County. Also shown, is the distribution of diversity for the student population. Table 12: Percentage of Limited English Proficiency Students within Collier County Public Schools Total CCPS Student Total LEP Student Percentage of LEP Population Population Students 45,016 6,500 14% Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 28 Packet Page -1626- 1/13/2015 16.D.13.

The number of CCPS Limited English Proficiency students very closely mirrors that of the overall population in Collier County over the age of five. Language Assistance Measures The frequency with which LEP persons could or have come into contact with CAT programs, activities, and services can be measured based on the analysis presented in the previous section.The more frequent the contact with LEP persons, the greater the need to provide language enhanced services. The following measures were implemented by CAT to provide assistance to LEP persons and to document and measure the frequency of contact with LEP individuals. Implemented Measures CAT Website— Collier County's website had previously included the capability to translate information on the website into Spanish. As of October 2013,the Collier County website was enhanced to allow the text to be translated to German, French, and Creole by clicking on the preferred language. In addition, the website provides customers with general information about CAT, including fares and passes, announcements,ADA and TD services, and "How to Ride." CAT Transfer Stations — Paper materials provided at CAT Transfer stations, including "How to Ride" guides, fares, and schedules are available in both English and Spanish versions. CAT documents the number of printed materials requested in languages other than English to determine the frequency of LEP persons using the system. In addition to schedules and route maps, rider alerts and notices posted at the stations are translated to Spanish and placed next to the English versions in visible locations. Printed Materials—Spanish translations of the "How to Ride" guide and other notices and information are provided at all locations where bus passes are sold, including libraries and other public places that post CAT information. CAT staff refreshes the printed materials monthly or as needed and monitors the frequency of requests for other than English materials. In addition, whenever possible, CAT utilizes pictographs to display information and instructions. Announcements —Safety and security announcements are provided in both English and Spanish. Radio announcements, including public service messages, rider alerts, and ads promoting transit are broadcast on both English and Spanish stations. CAT staff continues to monitor the need to provide safety and Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 29 Packet Page-1627- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. security announcements in other languages and opportunities to provide public announcements on radio stations of other languages. Press and Public Relations —All meeting notices, press releases, and public service announcements are translated into other languages as requested or needed based on documentation of previous requests. On-board Surveys — Future service planning efforts often include the dissemination of customer demographic and opinion surveys to collect information about who is using the service and how the service could be improved for those persons. CAT disseminates on-board surveys in both English and Spanish to ensure that Spanish-speaking customers have meaningful access to provide input in the planning process. During the 2012 CAT COA process, a total of 2,500 on-board surveys were distributed English, Spanish and Creole. Every passenger over the age of 15 received a survey. A total of 1,033 completed surveys were analyzed, which equaled a response rate of 41 percent, which exceeded the projected response rate of 25 percent. CAT also completes periodic surveys to explore the need for providing surveys in languages other than English and Spanish. CAT staff is made available to assist with completing surveys and taking public comment. Planning Meetings — According to the Collier MPO LEP Plan, the MPO advertises the availability of Spanish interpreter services, free of charge, at least seven (7) days prior to MPO Board and Committee meetings, workshops, forums, or events that will be noticed on the MPO website, in meeting notices r-� (packets), and using the following additional tools as appropriate: • Signage • Public outreach materials • Community-based organizations • Local newspapers • Collier County Library System CAT representatives are members of many of the MPO Committees, including the Technical Advisory Committee, the Congestion Management System/ Intelligent Transportation Systems (CMS/ITS), the Local Coordinating Board, and the Pathways Advisory Committee. Therefore, Spanish interpreter services are available at many of the meetings where CAT staff may participate in the transportation planning process. Customer Service—CAT drivers complete the driver training program as new employees and participate in refresher training courses annually. As part of the training, drivers are reminded of the importance of conveying information to passengers, particularly assisting passengers with using the transit system, especially those with language or other barriers. CAT also makes every effort to ensure that its customer service telephone lines are staffed with persons who speak other languages.All CAT personnel complete customer service training with periodic refreshers to underscore the importance of providing assistance to persons with language and other barriers. Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 30 Packet Page-1628- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. Community Outreach — CAT makes available persons who can serve as translators at all community outreach meetings. CAT strives to ensure the competency of interpreters and translation services per the DOT LEP guidance. Additional Language Assistance CAT recognizes that based on the LEP population shown as part of the Census and CCPS analysis, special effort is necessary to communicate important transit information to some of its riders in languages other than English. In order to meet this need, CAT will continue to conduct the activities listed previously and enhance its LEP outreach by taking the additional steps listed below. Community Outreach — Community organizations that serve LEP persons within the CAT service area Census tracts where the LEP populations are greater than the county average have the ability to confirm the statistical analysis completed using the Census data. During various transit planning processes, community organizations will be asked to provide information pertaining to the population(s) that they serve. The questions will focus on the number of people served, the languages spoken, age, gender, education levels, expectations for public services, public transportation inquiries, most frequently traveled destinations, locations that are difficult to access, transit needs, and travel patterns. The key concerns mentioned by the community organizations will be reviewed by CAT in an effort to improve the provision of service to LEP persons. A listing of community agencies in Collier County is presented in Appendix F. CAT will also present outreach materials to schools in an effort to provide transit service information to LEP students and their parents who may rely on public transportation to access school and other activities. Staff Training and Development — CAT will continue to train staff on the importance of assisting LEP persons with obtaining information and accessing the transit system. Staff will be provided with LEP policies and procedures. In addition, all CAT staff will complete customer service training and be provided guidance on working effectively with in-person and telephone interpreters. Signage—CAT will continue to post signs to communicate language services available at initial customer contact points. As additional resources permit, CAT will enhance the availability of outreach documents, brochures, booklets,and recruitment materials in multiple languages. Planning—CAT will participate in annual updates to the County's evacuation and disaster preparedness plans to ensure that the plans include the needs of all community members and especially those in minority populations. LEP Resources Based on the current resources available, CAT is providing the most cost-effective means of delivering competent and accurate language services within its service area. CAT will continue to monitor the need for additional language assistance, including the need for greater dissemination of information in the existing languages provided and/or translation to new languages. If additional services are needed, Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 31 Packet Page-1629- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. CAT will determine which additional language assistance measures are cost-effective and feasible for '~ implementation based on the current and projected financial resources. CAT will continue to monitor the costs associated with the existing language assistance measures and the costs associated with implementing enhanced language assistance measures, including an estimate of the number of staff and the percentage of staff time necessary to provide the current and proposed LEP resources. Environmental Justice Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice (EJ) in Minority and Low- Income Populations, was signed by President Clinton on February 11, 1994. The Executive Order and accompanying Presidential Memorandum focus federal attention on the environmental and human health conditions in minority and low-income communities,enhance efforts to assure nondiscrimination in federal programs affecting human health and the environment, and promote meaningful opportunities for access to public information and for public participation in matters relating to minority and low-income communities and their environment. As part of the grant agreements between CAT and the FTA, CAT is required to facilitate compliance with Executive Order 12898 and DOT's Implementing Order 5610.2, Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations. As a recipient of FTA funds, CAT incorporates environmental justice principles into every stage of its public transportation decision-making process. Key components to integrating principles of environmental justice into transit planning include: 1. Fully engaging EJ populations in the public transportation decision-making process; 2. Determining whether EJ populations would be subjected to disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of a public transportation project, policy, or activity; 3. Avoiding, minimizing, or mitigating disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of a public transportation project, policy, or activity. CAT EJ Outreach CAT provides outreach opportunities that have been designed to ensure that all persons, including low- income, minority, and LEP persons, have meaningful access to programs, services, and information. The public involvement process used by CAT is similar but separate from the Collier MPO's Public Involvement Plan. Although CAT utilizes it PTAC for outreach it also brings transit related items to through the MPO committees. As noted previously, this plan may be viewed in its entirety at http://www.colliergov.net/CAT. Outreach activities that are conducted as part of the TDP, the COA, and the Locally Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan (LCHSTP) have strived to obtain input from all persons in the community, both users and non-users of the transit system. A variety of public involvement techniques have been used including on-board surveys, transit user surveys, interviews, workshops for human service agency representatives,transit user workshops, and public workshops. Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 32 Packet Page -1630- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. Meetings are often scheduled at multiple times throughout the day to provide greater opportunities for participation based on schedules. CAT has compiled an extensive contact list of representatives from a-variety of agencies that represent the disabled, low-income, and elderly. In addition to the general public and the MPO committees, persons on the contact list are notified of all public outreach activities. Determination of Disproportionately High Effects on EJ Populations An EJ analysis starts with determining whether there are any minority or low-income populations potentially impacted by the activity. After assessing the proportionality of impacts of the activity, the burdens and benefits of the activity experienced by EJ populations should be compared to those experienced by non-EJ populations.This section describes CAT's practices for complying with Title VI and evaluating whether or not an activity will impact EJ populations. Fares Prior to any fare change, CAT conducts fare equity analysis to review the existing fare structure based on industry practice, community standards, and fiscal responsibility. The CAT 2012 Fare Study included a specific section to address CAT's commitment to Title VI Compliance regarding equity evaluation of service and fare changes. The study can be used as a guide for implementing a fare policy and structure, establishing an acceptable fiscal policy, and developing a model for future evaluation of CAT's fare structure. Prior to implementing any additional fare increases, CAT will conduct an equity analysis to assess the potential impacts on EJ populations. Shelters and Benches In the past year, CAT has installed 5 new bus shelters and 3 benches. CAT is in the process of a shelter study to evaluate the design as well as adding features (increased size and adding sides) to enhance the protection of the passengers using the system. Currently there are 66 shelters installed at the 533 stops throughout the system. An additional 44 shelters are planned for construction once the shelter study is completed and a design is finalized. Shelter sites are selected based on the number of people boarding and alighting routes, the availability of right of way, and the need to upgrade the shelter accessibility. APC data are utilized to determine stop-level ridership. Placing shelters in the highest use locations ensures access to more customers, while maximizing customer service and fiscal investments. CAT evaluates the number of passenger shelters located throughout Collier County in comparison to the minority areas to guarantee equitable distribution of amenities. Map 2 depicts the location of shelters and the minority area (Census tracts). Of the 66 existing shelters, 56 shelters or 85 percent are located within minority areas. Map 2 also depicts the location of bus stop amenities and the Low Income areas. Of the 66 existing shelters, 22 shelters or 33 percent are located in areas with 10.04% or greater low income population.These shelters provide a benefit to EJ persons accessing transit services. Transit Service CAT evaluates the availability of full or partial transit service within the County's minority and low- income areas. Of the areas containing low income population, all but 1 has full or partial transit service. Of the areas with above average minority population within Xi-mile of the existing fixed-route, all have Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 33 Packet Page -1631- 1/13/2015 16.D.13.

Construction Projects CAT Operations and Transfer Station—8300 Radio Road The existing CAT administration facility is located on the south side of Radio Road, east of Santa Barbara Boulevard within the Gallman Olds Dealership Planned Unit Development (PUD). On March 23, 2010, Collier County was granted a conditional use which allowed CAT to utilize the site as a secondary transfer center. Collier County resolution 2010-70 authorizing the conditional use is attached for reference. Collier County commissioned an environmental assessment for the future development of the site which evaluated the impacts and feasibility of developing the site. The assessment also addressed EJ and Title VI compliance, including analysis of potential impacts on minority communities and minority-owned businesses. CAT held public hearings and issued a public notice. All public comments were considered and included in the environmental document submitted to the FTA on October 10, 2011. FTA reviewed the document and submitted and issued a final declaration of Categorical Exclusion Concurrence on March 16, 2012. The proposed 8300 Radio Road passenger transfer facility will reconfigure the existing site facilities to provide a passenger transfer facility in addition to the administrative and operational services currently provided.The proposed conceptual site plan illustrated on Figure 2 illustrates all future improvements. The facility will function as a transfer point for public transportation services, including local bus, express bus, and the potential for alternative transportation modes for passengers. Transfer site improvements will include sawtooth bus bays with sheltered boarding platforms that will allow four buses to stage at one time. It is anticipated that numerous passenger amenities involving emerging technologies will be implemented in the transfer Station. Future building improvements will include constructing a secure ticketing area, accessible public restrooms, information kiosks, a secure farebox drop location, and an elevator to provide access to the second floor. The maintenance and service facilities will not undergo any significant renovations. A portion of the maintenance building is currently being utilized for vehicle maintenance and the other bays are being used as a miscellaneous storage area. This area will be improved to serve as an expanded vehicle maintenance area. The storage area will be moved when the vehicle maintenance area is expanded. The roof may need to be raised to allow for larger bay doors to accommodate buses. A mezzanine may be added in part of the maintenance building for additional storage. The traffic pattern will be addressed as part of the design and may require slightly modifying the maintenance building to allow bus traffic to circulate around the building. A permanent bus washing facility and fueling island will be Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 35 Packet Page-1633- 1/13/2015 16.D.13.

CAT Intermodal Transfer Facility CAT was operating its main transfer facility in a parking lot located adjacent to the Collier County Museum on the Collier County Government Center property. The transfer site was temporary while the County constructs a permanent transfer facility nearby on the government campus. CAT was awarded two grants to design and build a permanent multimodal passenger transfer station at the Collier County Government Center adjacent to US 41 (Tamiami Trail) as shown in Figure 3. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has partnered with Collier County by providing an Intermodal Hub Capacity Grant in the amount of $1.3 million and a Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) grant in the amount of$1.4 million. Construction of the permanent Intermodal Transfer Facility was completed in July 2013. The facility was creatively built as a component of the existing parking garage and provides a place for passengers to come out of the elements. The facility consists of six bus bays, air-conditioned and exterior covered waiting areas, restrooms, customer service area, and ATM machine, and real-time route and scheduling information. The Intermodal station was constructed in an area with a proportionately high concentration of low income populations and households with no vehicles.

F � Manhattan Collier Area Transit(CAT)Transfer Station 2"" r,"O?1° 'fi,;,-m.:a.aam (Government Center)125801 ■suom Avoiding, Minimizing, or Mitigating Disproportionate Impacts From a public transportation perspective, examples of actions that may have one or more adverse effects include service cuts, changes, or restructuring; building a new rail line or extending an existing rail line; establishing a multi-modal transfer station; or increasing fares. After consideration of the potential effects of an activity on the EJ populations, CAT reviews each activity to determine whether human health or environmental effects on an EJ population can be avoided, minimized, or mitigated. In some cases, while a service change or fare increase does impact EJ populations, the change is necessary to avoid a more severe impact due to budgetary constraints and increasing operational costs. The impacts of one activity may help to avoid another activity (i.e., increasing fares to avoid service Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 39 Packet Page-1637- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. reductions) or consequently result in a benefit to the community (i.e., additional mobility resulting from the construction of a new transfer facility). At all times, CAT's main goal is to avoid disproportionate impacts while maximizing public transit access. Activities that will result in a disparate impact will only be carried out if: 1. A substantial need for the program, policy, or activity exists that is in the public interest; and 2. Alternatives would have more severe adverse effects than the preferred alternative. Title VI Program Complaint Procedures Any person who believes that he, or she, or any specific class of persons, has been subjected to discrimination or retaliation prohibited by the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and related statutes, under CAT's program of transit service delivery or related services or programs is encouraged to file a report with Collier County's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity at: Collier County Office of Equal Employment Opportunity Alternative Transportation Modes Department 3299 East Tamiami Trail, Suite 103, Naples, Florida, 34112 Telephone (239) 252-5832,fax(239) 252-6610 www.colliergov.net/CAT CAT encourages the filing of a complaint in writing and includes a name, addresses, and other information so that you may be contacted in regards to the matter.

Appendix C Collier Area Transit Route Fare or Service Change Policy In accordance with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4702.1A Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,Transit providers within service areas containing more than 200,000 residents to evaluate service and fare changes and their corresponding impacts to ensure transit service is planned operated and distributed in an equitable manner without regard to race, color or national origin. The required policies fall in the following three categories: • Major Service Change Policy • Disparate Impact Policy • Disproportionate Burden Policy Major Service Change Policy The FTA requires that funding recipients prepare and submit service and fare equity analyses for public comment in consideration of proposed major service or fare changes. The purpose of this policy is to establish thresholds that define a "major service change", and the definition of an adverse impact created by a "major service change". As contained within this policy, a major service change is defined as meeting one of the following criteria: 1. Proposed service expansions and reductions including all routing and timetable changes remaining in effect after 12 months that exceed 25 percent of the current configurations. 2. Total elimination of service on a specific route. 3. All proposed fare changes, excluding ride free promotional events and temporary fare reductions,that in effect after 6 months. If a proposed major service change falls within one of the three categories above, CAT will conduct a Title VI service and/or fare equity analysis for review and consideration by the Board of County Commissioners and the public prior to implementing changes. An adverse effect is defined as a major geographical or time-based reduction in service which may include, but is not limited to, span of service changes,frequency changes, route segment elimination, re- routing, or route elimination. CAT shall consider the degree of adverse effects in the form of an equity analysis when planning major service changes. The following types of service changes are exempt: Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 48 Packet Page-1646- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. • Minor route alignment,frequency, span, or time point adjustments; • Routing or bus stop changes due to temporary road detours caused by construction, maintenance, closures, emergencies, labor disruptions or strikes, fuel shortages, or safety concerns; • Any temporary service addition, change, or discontinuation of a route with less than twelve months of operation; • Changes on special service routes serving sporting events, special events, or service contracted through other cities or agencies; • Any service change that does not meet the definition of a major service change described above. Disparate Impact Policy The purpose of this policy is to establish a threshold which identifies when adverse effects of a major service or fare change are borne disproportionately by minority populations. For the purpose of this policy, a minority population is defined as any readily identifiable group of minority persons who live in geographical proximity, and if circumstances warrant, geographically dispersed/transient populations (such as migrant workers or Native Americans) who will be similarly affected by a proposed program, policy, or activity. A "disparate impact" is defined as occurring when an adverse effect of a major service or fare change on minority populations is at least 20 percent greater than the adverse effect on the average minority population of CAT's service area. In order to identify a potential impact, CAT will follow the process illustrated within the flow chart below. Should a proposed major service change result in a disparate impact, CAT will consider modifying the proposed change to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the disparate impact of the change. The modified proposed change due to potential disparate impacts will then be reanalyzed in order to determine whether the modifications actually removed the potential disparate impacts of the changes. If the CAT chooses not to alter the proposed changes,they may implement the service or fare change if there is substantial legitimate justification for the change and it can be shown that there are no alternatives that would have less impact on the minority population and would still accomplish program goals.

Disproportionate Burden Policy The purpose of this policy is to establish a threshold which identifies when adverse effects of a major service or fare change are borne disproportionately by low-income populations. For purposes of this policy, low-income population is defined as any readily identifiable group or households who are at or below 150 percent of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines listed below. 2013 POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR THE 48 CONTIGUOUS STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF(COLUMBIA Persons in family/household veiny guuideline 1 $11,490 2 15,510 3 19,530 4 .......... 23,550 5 ... 27,570 6 31.590 7 35,610 8 39,630 For families/households with more than 8 persons, add $4.020 for each additional person. Source:Department of Health and Human Services,Office of the Secretary,Annual Update of the HHS Poverty Guidelines(Federal Register/Vol.78,No.16/Thursday,January 24,2013/Notices) A"disproportionate burden" is defined as occurring when the low-income population adversely affected by a major service or fare change is 20 percent more than the average low-income population of CAT's service area. Similar to the approach in identifying a potential disparate impact, should a proposed major service or fare change result in a disproportionate burden, CAT will consider modifying the proposed change to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the disproportionate burden of the change. The modified proposed change due to a potential disproportionate burden will then be reanalyzed in order to determine whether the modifications actually removed the potential disproportionate burden of the changes. If the CAT chooses not to alter the proposed changes, they may implement the service or fare change if there is substantial legitimate justification for the change and it can be shown that there are no alternatives that would have less impact on the low-income population and would still accomplish program goals.

TRANSIT CAPACITY&SUPPLY ANALYSIS The process used to estimate capacity for the CAT fixed-route system examines the number of routes in operation and the size and number of vehicles in use to determine the number of potential trips that can be carried per year. There are more sophisticated methods of &Associates. Inc. Collier Area Transit August 2010 4-17 Transit Development Plan Collier Area Transit Title VI Program Page 53 Packet Page -1651- 1/13/2015 16.D.13. determining system-wide capacity: however, based on the size of the CAT system and the demographic make-up of Collier County, a more simplified method was chosen. The same methodology was applied in the estimation of ADA/paratransit services. Fixed-Route Service Supply/Capacity Analysis The methodology used to estimate transit capacity is based on mileage. In order to determine capacity at the route level. the estimated seat miles and passenger miles were estimated using an assumed average trip length. The assumed average trip length was calculated by dividing FY 2009 passenger miles traveled by the total annual passenger trips. The methodology for the system wide capacity estimation is as follows: Step t Annual revenue miles. vehicle capacity. and ridership by route were provided by CAT staff. The route length of each CAT route was calculated using ArcGIS geographic information system data. Step 2:The estimated annual seat miles were calculated by multiplying the revenue miles by the average vehicle capacity_ This provides a measure of potential route capacity based on the actual revenue miles of service and the maximum number of passengers that can be transported. Revenue Miles X Average Vehicle Capacity= Estimated Annual Seat Miles (1.244,756) (26) (32.363,656) r� Step 3: Annual passenger miles were estimated by multiplying the average trip length by the total number of passenger trips. This provides a measure of actual passenger miles traveled in 2009.showing the actual capacity utilized by riders. Passenger Trips X Average Trip Length=Annual Passenger Miles (1.109.710) (8.1) (8.988.651) Step 4:To determine the estimated excess capacity.the estimated passenger miles for each route for October 2008 through September 2009 were compared to the estimated annual seat miles to determine the percent of the capacity being used. Estimated Passenger Miles/ Estimated Seat Miles= Percent of Capacity Being Used (8,988.651) (32,363.656) (27.8%) 100%-Percent of Capacity Being Used = Remaining Capacity (100%) (27.8%) (72.2%) Table 4-11 summarizes the process used to estimate annual capacity for the existing service routes.

Fixed-Route Capacity Analysis Summary Based on the estimated capacity analysis. CAT was using approximately 28 percent of its possible capacity in 2009. This shows that the existing bus service has substantial capacity remaining. Routes with the least amount of excess capacity include Routes 2A (Orange Route), 2B (Orange Route). 3A (Purple Route). 1A (Red Route), and 3B (Purple Route). Routes with the largest amount of excess capacity include Routes 7 Express (Light Blue Route), 5 (Blue Route). 7 Circulator(Light Blue Route).8B(Pink Route). and 6 (Yellow Route). Excess capacities for these routes are 92 percent. 90 percent. 85 percent. 84 percent. and 83 percent, respectively. It should be noted that the NTD reported average trip length is utilized to determine excess capacity and Route 7 and Route 5 operate as express routes from lmmokalee to Marco Island and Naples: therefore, these routes travel a greater distance than 8.1 miles per trip. When calculating excess capacity utilizing a greater average trip length.the excess capacity would be much less on Routes 7 and 5. Excess capacity is not necessarily a weakness in the system. The ridership-to-capacity ratio should be monitored over time as part of future major updates to the TDP. In addition, route- by-route average trip length estimates are needed in order to provide a more accurate reflection of unused capacity along fixed-routes. Because CAT does not have Automatic Passenger Counters on-board its vehicles, it is difficult to derive per route average trip lengths without incurring significant expense to calculate manually through an on-board tracking initiative.

Demand Response Service Capacity Analysis Summary Based on the estimated capacity analysis. CAT is using approximately 7 percent of the possible capacity. This shows that demand response service has substantial capacity remaining. Excess capacity is not necessarily a weakness in the system,given the nature of the requested trips. Expecting full paratransit vans is unrealistic since the service operates on the basis of advanced trip reservations, and multi-loading is often difficult to accommodate given the often diverse nature of origins and destinations for each patron.

FIXED-ROUTE PEER REVIEW A peer review analysis was conducted for CAT to compare its performance at a given point in time with other similar agencies. The peer review was conducted using 2008 NTD data, the most current validated NTD data available. Selected performance indicators, effectiveness measures, and efficiency measures are provided throughout this section in tabular and graphical formats to illustrate the performance of the fixed-route system relative to the peer group. For each selected indicator and measure, the tables provide the CAT value, the minimum value among the peer group,the maximum value among the peer group,the mean of the peer group, and the percent that the CAT values are away from the mean. The methodology used to select the peer systems is discussed below. Peer System Selection Methodology The peer selection was conducted using the 2009 Florida Transit Information System (FTIS) database. At the time of the peer selection process, the most current data available in the FTIS database was 2008 NTD data. The peers were identified through an objective assessment of five standard variables in NTD. After the peer systems were selected utilizing the FTIS database.the 2008 NTD data for each peer system was obtained through the NTD website and used to conduct the peer review analysis. The variables used to select the peer systems include: • Geography(southeastern United States) • Service Area Population • Operating Expense • Revenue Miles • Vehicles Operated in Maximum Service First.the peer group selection was based on geographic location; the states included were Louisiana. Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama. Tennessee. North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Fixed-route systems operating in these southeastern states were identified and analyzed based on the four remaining variables. Based on the results of the FTIS peer selection process and input from CAT staff. seven transit systems were selected for the peer review analysis. Table 4-6 presents the selected peers. Performance indicators Selected performance indicators for the peer review are presented in this section. Categories of performance indicators include population, population density. ridership. revenue miles, and vehicles.
