Title VI Equity Analysis A Title VI Equity Analysis is only required if the sub-recipient is planning to acquire land upon which to construct a facility or plans to construct a facility. Do not conduct the analysis unless you are planning to acquire land for this purpose or construct a facility. A sub-recipient planning to acquire land to construct certain types of facilities must not discriminate on the basis of race,color,or national origin,against persons who may, as a result of the construction,be displaced from their homes or businesses. "Facilities"in this context does not include transit stations or bus shelters, but instead refers to storage facilities,maintenance facilities,and operation centers. There are many steps involved in the planning process prior to the actual construction of a facility. It is during these planning phases that attention needs to be paid to equity and non- discrimination through equity analysis. The Title VI Equity Analysis must be done before the selection of the preferred site. Even if facility construction is financed with non-FTA funds, if the sub-recipient organization receives any FTA dollars, it must comply with this requirement. If the construction of the facility is funded with FTA funds,you may be subject to Environmental Justice(EJ),FTA Disadvantaged Business Enterprise(DBE),American with Disabilities Act(ADA)and Buy America requirements etc. The Coordinated Services for the Elderly has no current or anticipated plans to develop new transit facilities covered by these requirements.
