Item Summary/Recommendation:
The Administration has developed a citywide Title Vl Program Plan for its transit circulator services. This Program Plan will
allow the City to satisfactorily comply with federal requirements as determined by Title Vl of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
which stipulates that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
Below is a brief description of the major components of the Title Vl Program Plan.
. City Policy: through this Program Plan, the City commits to a policy of non-discrimination in the conduct of its
transit services where no person will be excluded from participation in or denied benefits of its service on lhe
basis of race, color or national origin in accordance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. ln addition, the proposed
Program identifies a Title Vl Coordinator for the City to assist individuals with questions regarding the City's
policy and complaint procedure.
o Public Notice: through this Program Plan, the City commits to provide a Title Vl notice within the City's
premises on an area open to the general public as well as on its website.. Complaint Procedure and Form: through this Program Plan, the City commits to provide a Title Vl complaint
form as well as written procedures to file the form, and make them available to the general public by posting
them on its website and by person at the Transportation Department's office.. List of Investigations: Procedure for the logging of investigations, complaints, and lawsuits is included in the
proposed Program Plan.. Notice to Contractor: the contractor operating the transit system is required to acknowledge receipt of the
Program Plan and to ensure that no passenger is discriminated against.. Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Analysis: ln order to provide meaningful access to its transit programs and
activities, the City performed an LEP analysis. This analysis determined that there is a significant percentage of
Spanish-speaking population in the City. Currently most of the drivers and personnel providing the City's transit
service speak both English and Spanish and are therefore able to communicate with passengers as needed,
although all passengers are provided service regardless of the language. ln addition, the information on the City's
website can be easily translated to Spanish by clicking on the translatorand all complaintforms are available on-line
in both English and Spanish. Additional information can be provided in Spanish upon request, and a telephone
number and point of contact for the City is provided in the Program Plan.. Public Participation Plan: through this Program, a public participation plan that is tailored to the City's
demographic characteristics is provided to effectively engage the general public, consequently avoiding the
exclusion of persons from the planning and implementation process of the transit services provided.. Service Standards: this Program Plan includes information about route headways, hours of operation, and
performance standards.o Service Policies: this Program Plan includes a description of amenities provided as part of the City's transit service,
including, but not limited to, air conditioning, bicycle racks, ADA lifts and bus benches at many stops.
A Title Vl Program Plan for transit services would be advantageous to the City as it will help to not only manage complaints
efficiently by having set procedures, information, and points of contact, but also to proactively discourage discrimination on
the basis of race, color, or national origin by adequately educating and involving the community in the planning process and
implementation of its transit system. ln addition, having this Program Plan in place provides a mechanism to comply with
federal requirements should the City wish to apply for federal grants to fund its transit services in the future.
THE ADMINISTMTION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION.

PROGRAM PLAN FOR THE PROVISION OF CITYWIDE TRANSIT SERVICES,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO FINALIZE THE PROGRAM
PLAN; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SHOULD ANY MATERIAL PROVISIONS
CHANGE, REQUIRING THAT THE PROGRAM PLAN COME BACK TO THE
GITY GOMMISSION.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
At the April 30,2014 City Commission meeting, the Commission approved the award of lnvitation to
Bid (lTB) No. 2014-154-SR for North Beach Turnkey Trolley Operations and Maintenance Services
to Limousines of South Florida (LSF). The services procured are all inclusive transportation
services, meaning that the selected contractor will provide all necessary vehicles, equipment,
personnel, fuel, licenses and insurances necessary to operate and maintain the service.
At the May 21 , 2014 City Commission meeting, the Commission approved an lntedocal Agreement
with Miami-Dade County for provision of municipal circulator services in the City. Some of the
provisions in this agreement include satisfactory compliance with federal requirements as
determined by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), including the Title Vl of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964. Title Vl stipulates that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be
excluded from paftcipation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any
program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
FTA requires that all direct and primary recipients document their compliance with U.S. Department
of Transpo(ation Title Vl regulations by submitting a Title Vl Program Plan to their FTA regional civil
rights officer once every three years or as otherwise directed by FTA. For all recipients (including
sub recipients), the Title Vl Program Plan must be approved by the recipient's Board of Directors or
appropriate governing entity or officials responsible for policy decisions prior to submission to FTA.
The City is currently having discussions with Miami-Dade County and FTA regarding whether or not
federal transit requirements are applicable to the City of Miami Beach as a result of the City's
purchase of two (2) mini-buses in 2010 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) of 2009. The two buses are currently operated by Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) as part of its
bus service within Miami Beach. Although FTA has not made a determination on the federalization
issue at this time, in an abundance of caution and in an effort to expedite the implementation of the
North Beach Trolley service, the Administration has prepared a citywide Title Vl Program Plan for
the City's transit services.

I. TRANSIT SERVICE OVERVIEW
The City of Miami Beach has established a municipal circulator transit service in an effort to
improve mobility throughout the City. This service is intended to promote transit use, walking
and cycling, while reducing dependency on the current primary mode of transportation
nationwide, "the vehicle". The City makes use of popular vehicles better known as "Trolleys" to
provide a service oriented experience that is reliable and different from the conventional
transit bus. These vehicles are branded and stocked with amenities that make them a
convenient option, include a mobile application to track the vehicles on real time, and an
automated voice information system for those users of conventional phones with no access to
the mobile app.
By providing a reliable transportation alternative, the City is promoting traffic decongestion,
more accessibility to parking and encouraging pedestrian activity throughout the community.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is
represented through the use of a margin oi error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted
roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval deflned by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of
error (the lower and upper conlidence bounds) contains the true value. ln addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to
nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these
tables.
While the 2008-2012 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
deflnitions of metropolitan and nicropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown jn
ACS tables may differ from the OMB deflnitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries ol urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data.
Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a resull, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do nol necessarily
reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.

Explanation of Symbols:
'l . An '**' entry in lhe margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to
compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical lest is not appropriate.
2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observalions were available to compute an
estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an
open-ended distribution.
3. An '-'following a median estimate neans the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.
4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper inlerval of an open-ended distribution.
entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A
statistical test is not appropriate.
6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indioates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.
7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of
sample cases is too small.
8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sanrpling variability is
represented through the use of a rnargin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted
roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estirnate plus the margin of
error (the lower and upper confldence bounds) contains the true value. ln addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subiect to
nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these
tables.
Fertility data are not available for ce(aln geographic areas due to problems with data collection. See Errata Note #92 for details.
The Census Bureau introduced a new set of disability questions in the 2008 ACS questionnaire. Accordingly, comparisons of disability data from 2008
or later with data from prior years are not recommended. For more information on these questions and their evaluation in the 2006 ACS Conienl Test,
see the Evaluation Report Covering Disability.
While the 2008-2012 American Cornmunity Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OlvlB)
definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in
ACS tables may differ from the OMB deflnitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas deflned based on Census 2000 data.
Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily
reflecl the results of ongoing urbanization.

Explanation of Symbols:
1 . An ''*' entry in the margin of error column indicales that either no sample observations or too iew sample observations were available to
compute a standard error and lhus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.
2. An '- entry in the estimate column indicates that eilher no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an
estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an
open-ended distribution.
3. An '-'following a median estimate means the median ialls ln the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.
4. An '+'following a median estimate means lhe median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distibution.
5. An '---'entry in the margin of error colunn indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A
statistical test is not appropriate.
6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.
7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of
sample cases is too small.
B. An '(X)'means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.
