Do not conduct the analysis unless <br />you are planning to acquire land for this purpose or construct a facility. <br />A sub -recipient planning to acquire land to construct certain types of facilities must not <br />discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin, against persons who may, as a result <br />of the construction, be displaced from <br />rn their homes or businesses. "Facilities" in this context <br />does not include transit stations or bus shelters, but instead refers to storage facilities, <br />maintenance facilities, and operation centers. <br />There are many steps involved in the planning process prior to the actual construction of a <br />facility. During these planning phases attention needs to be paid to equity and non- <br />discrimination through equity analysis. The Title VI Equity Analysis must be done before the <br />selection of the preferred site. <br />Even if facility construction is financed with non -FTA funds, if the sub -recipient organization <br />receives any FTA dollars, it must comply with this requirement. <br />15 <br />
