2 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board Action/Information Summary Action Information MEAD Number: Resolution: Yes No TITLE: Title VI Required Definitions PRESENTATION SUMMARY: Proposed policy definitions for Major Service Change (Metrobus and Metrorail) and Disparate Impact/Disproportionate Burden PURPOSE: To request Board approval for required Title VI program definitions for: major service change (Metrobus and Metrorail); disparate impact (minorities) and disproportionate burden (low income). DESCRIPTION: FTA s Title VI Circular requires WMATA to prepare and submit service and fare equity analyses for major service changes and all fare changes prior to implementing service and/or fare changes. The analyses are to determine whether the planned changes will have a disparate impact on the basis of race, color, or national origin, or if low-income populations will bear a disproportionate burden of the changes. Upon completion of a service or fare equity analysis, WMATA must brief the Board of Directors on the equity impacts of the service and/or fare change. As the foundation of this process, WMATA must identify what constitutes a major service change for its fixed route service as only major service changes are subject to a service equity analysis. In addition, WMATA must develop policies for measuring disparate impacts on minority populations and disproportionate burdens on low-income populations. These polices establish a threshold for determining when adverse effects of service changes or fare changes are disparate or disproportionate. In establishing these policies, WMATA must engage the public in the decision-making process to develop the disparate impact and disproportionate burden policy. Key Highlights: Management is seeking Board approval of the definitions for major service changes, disparate impact and disproportionate burden at this time for two reason: 1) to allow the November Metrobus service changes to go forward (no agency is allowed to make major service changes without Board approved definitions under the new circular) and 2) to build the foundation for the agency s Title VI plan, which requires Board approval in its entirety in June 2014 for submittal to FTA in September Staff has evaluated a number of approaches to defining disparate impact and disproportionate burden; has collected public input on proposals; has conducted Page 4 of 42
3 peer review; and has consulted FTA Headquarters and Region III. The recommended definitions have been tested with WMATA s analytic approach to conducting equity analyses and meet all desired objectives. Background and History: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, as well as subsequent legislation and regulation, seeks to ensure that no person in the United States shall, on the ground 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. The FTA is the agency that provides oversight to WMATA s Title VI program. WMATA has a depth of institutional experience with Title VI. In the history of WMATA s filings, the FTA has never rejected, or found substantial fault with our Title VI filings. The only requests from FTA have been for minor editing changes and clarifications. Other transit agencies have contacted WMATA for peer sharing based on a suggestion from FTA. In October of 2012, the FTA released the most recent update to its Title VI Circular. This circular presents guidance and instructions for recipients of Federal financial assistance to comply with current U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Title VI regulations. Changes made in this revision include the addition of several requirements, including Board adoption of policy definitions for what constitutes a major service change, disproportionate burden and disparate impact. Last month, staff discussed the proposed major service change policy and detailed the objectives staff would meet in the development of disparate impact and disproportionate burden definitions. Discussion: WMATA has established policies for determining major service changes on Metrobus and now must establish such policies for Metrorail. An interdepartmental working group was established to develop the major service change proposal for Metrorail as well as to evaluate several approaches to create a policy definition for disparate impact and disproportionate burden that reflects peer transit agency approaches, considers input from the public who will be affected by it, recognizes the complexity of Metro services, has been tested using our approach to equity analysis and is easy to understand. This past August, staff collected public input on the proposals for all definitions through focus groups with community organizations and an online survey. WMATA staff met with around 100 customers and community organization staff that represented diverse populations. In total, nearly 400 survey responses were collected. The majority of survey participants agreed with the proposed Title VI definitions for major service change for Metrorail and Metrobus. Respondents also believed even small differences between impacts on minority and non-minority riders are considered major. Since the Committee last met, WMATA briefed the Jurisdictional Coordinating Committee on September 27 to gain input on our approach and learn of their plans to address the Title VI circular requirements. The majority of the jurisdictions are still in the beginning Page 5 of 42
4 stages of developing their plans. A number of jurisdictions indicated they are monitoring Metro s progress on the circular to help guide their own process and approach. We will continue to work with the jurisdictions on this process. Major Service Change Policies: Subsequent to the staff work and public input, staff recommends the following definitions for major service change on Metrorail and Metrobus be approved: Parameters Metrobus Definitions Compact Public Hearing Required? Span Increase or decrease in span of service on a line of more than one hour in a single fiscal year. Yes, if there is a reduction of more than one hour in span of service on a line Frequency Coverage / Availability Increase or decrease in revenue miles on a line of more than 20% in a single fiscal year. Increase or decrease in route miles on a line of 15% in a single fiscal year. Projected Increase or decrease of 10% of the riders on a line in a single fiscal year. Yes, if there is a reduction of more than 20% in revenue miles Yes, if there is a reduction of 15% in route miles Yes, if there is a reduction of 10% of riders Parameters Metrorail Definitions Current Operations Compact Public Hearing Required? Span Coverage / Availability Change in span of normal operations above or below the current service levels. Complete and permanent scheduled station closure for one or more days in a week; opening of a new station. Addition or abandonment of a line. Start: 5 AM Monday- Friday; 7 AM on weekends. End: 12 AM Sunday- Thursday; 3 AM Friday and Saturday. Yes, if service is reduced Yes Page 6 of 42

Compact Public Hearing Required? Yes, if service is reduced To develop the policy for measuring adverse impacts, staff conducted a peer review of transit properties nationwide and found a wide variety of compliance approach proposals. Most of the agencies whose policies we reviewed are either still developing their approach or are waiting for FTA concurrence with their proposals FTA s Civil Rights staff confirmed that only LA Transit s Title VI definitions have been approved. At the same time, staff conducted the outreach described earlier to determine what our customers and the public consider to be adverse impacts. With this feedback in mind, a policy was developed that additionally recognized the accuracy of WMATA s passenger survey data and also took in to account the complexity of WMATA s system with respect to mode, jurisdictional distribution and fare structure. Since the Board was last briefed, staff met with the FTA Civil Rights staff to begin working collaboratively on establishing the standards. We received valuable feedback on our proposal and are optimistic that we will receive positive comments after incorporating some of their suggestions. In developing a measure or standard most appropriate for WMATA, staff considered a number of models and formulas, including the thresholds being used by peer transit agencies and newly developed modeling approaches. The various approaches were tested using more than 200 past and hypothetical service changes. The final approach and thresholds consider WMATA s passenger survey data and reflect feedback received from the FTA. Staff proposes the following definition for determining disparate impact (minorities) and disproportionate burden (low-income) in an equity analysis. For major service changes: WMATA will consider a proposed service change to be disparate/disproportionate when the difference between the systemwide percentage of minority and low-income ridership and the percentage of minority/low-income ridership affected by the service change differs by the amount shown in the following table for the size of the change. For example, our Page 7 of 42
6 systemwide minority ridership is 55%. If riders impacted by a service change affecting 100,000 riders were 58% minority, the difference is less than 5%, so would not be considered disparate. The same thresholds shall apply for proposed service reductions and increases. * Based on natural breaks in WMATA passenger survey data Exceptions to using the above thresholds may occur if Metro has limited survey data available and the margin of error in the data is 10% or greater. In such cases, Metro will collect new data to ensure a margin of error consistent with this definition. For fare changes: A disparate impact or disproportionate burden may exist if the difference between the average fare increase (represented as a % change) for minority/low-income populations and the average fare increase (represented as a % change) non-minority/non-low-income populations is greater than 5% (percentage points). For example, if the average fare increase on minority riders was 10% and the average fare increase on non-minority riders was 4%, the difference is greater than 5% and would be considered disparate. FUNDING IMPACT: TIMELINE: Total Riders Acceptable difference between groups Affected by Service Change (per weekday) Up to 10,000 8% 10,001 to 20,000 7% 20,001 to 40,000 6% Over 40,000 5% Project Manager: Tawnya Moore-McGee Project Human Resources/Equal Opportunity and Employee Relations Department/Office: Previous Actions Anticipated actions after presentation 02/2000 Rules and Regulations for Metrobus Operations 09/2013 Information: Title VI Required Service Standards, Policies and Definitions 06/2014 Action: Approval of WMATA s Title VI Program Update 09/ Title VI Program Submittal to FTA RECOMMENDATION: Approval of proposed definitions for major service change, disparate impact and disproportionate burden.

7 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Questions and Answers Regarding Proposed Title VI Definitions 1 General 1. What do FTA regulations require? FTA s Title VI Circular requires WMATA to prepare and submit service and fare equity analyses for major service changes and all fare changes prior to implementing service and/or fare changes. The analyses are to determine whether the planned changes will have a disparate impact on the basis of race, color, or national origin, or if low-income populations will bear a disproportionate burden of the changes. Upon completion of a service or fare equity analysis, WMATA must brief the Board of Directors on the equity impacts of the service and/or fare change. As the foundation of this process, WMATA must identify what constitutes a major service change for its fixed route service as only major service changes are subject to a service equity analysis. In addition, WMATA must develop policies for measuring disparate impacts on minority populations and disproportionate burdens on low-income populations. These polices establish a threshold for determining when adverse effects of service changes or fare changes are disparate or disproportionate. In establishing these policies, WMATA must engage the public in the decision-making process to develop the disparate impact and disproportionate burden policy. 2. What populations are protected under Title VI regulations? Title VI populations are very specific: Low Income WMATA uses a threshold of household income below $30,000 to define the low-income population. This is approximately 60% of the Compact area median income, and slightly exceeds the Department of Health and Human Services poverty threshold for a family of four. Minority This includes all populations defined in Census as non-white or Hispanic. Limited English Proficient Individuals who have a limited ability to read, write, speak or understand English. Proficiency thresholds are defined by Census. 3. If WMATA s plan is due to the FTA in September 2014, why are we developing these definitions now and asking for Board approval? The new FTA Circular requires that all major service changes and fare changes implemented on or after April 1, 2013 be analyzed using Board approved definitions for major service change, disparate impact and disproportionate burden. In short, we would not be able to go forward with our planned FY13 Fall bus changes or any other service adjustment or fare adjustment, without obtaining a waiver from the FTA to use our existing Title VI plan methodology. Note that the FTA allowed WMATA to use the policies in our existing Title VI Plan for the Silver Line assessment. Since then, staff has been working to ensure that the requirements are met for subsequent service or fare changes. Page 9 of 42
8 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Questions and Answers Regarding Proposed Title VI Definitions 2 4. In the development of the definitions, what did we consider? An interdepartmental working group was established to evaluate several approaches to create a policy definition for major service change, disparate impact and disproportionate burden that reflects peer transit agency approaches (see peer review tables attached), considers input from the public who will be affected by it, recognizes the complexity of Metro services, has been tested using our approach to equity analysis and is easy to understand. This past August, staff collected public input on the proposals for all definitions through focus groups with community organizations (see table below) and an online survey. WMATA staff met with around 100 customers and community organization staff that represented diverse populations. In total, nearly 400 survey responses were collected. The majority of survey participants agreed with the proposed Title VI definitions for major service change for Metrorail and Metrobus. Respondents also believed even small differences between impacts on minority and non-minority riders are considered major. Major Service Change 5. What is the current policy and why does it have to change? WMATA s current major service change policy addresses major service decreases for Metrobus based on revenue, route miles, span of service, or boarding. It also defines major service increases as changes to rush and non-rush hour headways. FTA requires that the major service change policy address both service reductions and service increases for all fixed modes of service. Additionally, these policies must be vetted with the public and approved by the Board. FTA regulations do not require a major service change policy for paratransit service such as MetroAccess. When evaluating the impacts of fare adjustments on low-income and minority populations, MetroAccess riders are included in the equity analysis because changes to fixed route fares impact MetroAccess riders.

Subsequent to the staff work and public input, staff recommends the following definitions for major service change on Metrorail and Metrobus be approved: Parameters Metrobus Definitions Compact Public Hearing Required? Span Change in span of service on a line of more than one hour in a single fiscal year. Yes, if there is a reduction of more than one hour in span of Frequency Coverage / Availability Change in revenue miles on a line of more than 20% in a single fiscal year. Change in route miles on a line of 15% in a single fiscal year. Projected change of 10% of the riders on a line in a single fiscal year. service on a line Yes, if there is a reduction of more than 20% in revenue miles Yes, if there is a reduction of 15% in route miles Yes, if there is a reduction of 10% of riders Parameters Metrorail Definitions Current Operations Compact Public Hearing Required?

What impact will the new major service change policy have on the Compact? The Compact states that WMATA may not raise any fare or rate, nor implement a Metrobus major service reduction without holding a public hearing. Developing major service change policies for Metrobus and Metrorail in accordance with FTA regulations does not modify the Compact nor will it create an obligation to hold compact public hearings. The major service change policies will trigger the need to conduct a Title VI equity analysis of the proposed change which will be presented to the Board for approval. Disparate Impact/Disproportionate Burden (DI/DB) 8. How did we develop the methodology to measure adverse impacts? In developing a measure or standard most appropriate for WMATA, staff considered a number of models and formulas, including the thresholds being used by peer transit agencies and newly developed modeling approaches. The various approaches were tested using more than 200 past and hypothetical service changes. The final approach and thresholds consider WMATA s ridership database and reflect feedback received from the FTA. 9. What makes us different from other transit properties? When undertaking Title VI analysis, assessments must be made about rider demographics. WMATA riders differ from riders in other large properties (i.e. MTA-NYC, CTA, MTA-LA) in that WMATA s system is somewhat of a hybrid of commuter and subway passengers. Many WMATA riders drive from the suburbs to the system meaning that census data (a common data set for other properties to use) around a given rail station would not be an appropriate indicator of rider demographics. Therefore, WMATA collects its own ridership data on a regular basis (for both bus and rail). The datasets are comprehensive origindestination logs and provide an accurate picture of trips made in the Metro DC region. So, Page 12 of 42
11 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Questions and Answers Regarding Proposed Title VI Definitions 5 while some properties estimate ridership demographics from census data and others make generalizations about entire stations, WMATA accurately portrays its ridership population and therefore, more accurately assesses impacts. 10. What is the recommendation? Staff proposes the following definition for determining disparate impact (minorities) and disproportionate burden (low-income) in an equity analysis. For major service changes: WMATA will consider a proposed service change to be disparate/disproportionate when the difference between the systemwide percentage of minority and low-income ridership and the percentage of minority/low-income ridership affected by the service change differs by the amount shown in the following table for the size of the change. For example, our systemwide minority ridership is 55%. If riders impacted by a service change affecting 100,000 riders were 58% minority, the difference is less than 5%, so would not be considered disparate. The same thresholds shall apply for proposed service reductions and increases. *Total Riders Affected by Service Change (per weekday) Threshold for Significant Disparity (between % minority/low-income riders affected by service change and % of minority/low-income riders for the system or mode) Up to 10,000 8% 10,001 to 20,000 7% 20,001 to 40,000 6% Over 40,000 5% * Based on natural breaks in WMATA passenger survey data Exceptions to using the above thresholds may occur if Metro has limited survey data available and the margin of error in the data is 10% or greater. In such cases, Metro will collect new data to ensure a margin of error consistent with this definition. For fare changes: A disparate impact or disproportionate burden may exist if the difference between the average fare increase (represented as a % change) for minority/low-income populations and the average fare increase (represented as a % change) non-minority/non-low-income populations is greater than 5% (percentage points). For example, if the average fare increase on minority riders was 10% and the average fare increase on non-minority riders was 4%, the difference is greater than 5% and would be considered disparate.

12 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Questions and Answers Regarding Proposed Title VI Definitions 6 Staff believes that the recommended approach brings a reliable, defensible, and easy-tounderstand means to evaluate the potential impacts of fare and service change proposals to our riding populations. 11. How does our approach compare to other transit agencies? Our peer review of 15 transit properties indicated that there is no one way to develop DI/DB thresholds. The policies varied widely depending on local context, including the data available for equity analyses. Some agencies simply chose a percentage difference (ranging from 5% - 20%) between the impacts on minority/low-income populations versus the impacts on non-minority/non-low-income populations. Some policies included different thresholds for analyses at the transit line versus system levels; some had different thresholds for evaluating service changes versus fare changes. At least two systems developed an approach using statistical methodologies. Our analytic approach for both service and fare changes evaluates impacts at the trip-making level. Both our rail and bus passenger survey data allow us to look at how individual riders make trips. We believe that this level of analysis brings a greater level of precision to understanding the impacts of fare and service change proposals to our riding populations. 12. What approaches are the agencies in the jurisdictions applying? Since the Committee last met, WMATA briefed the Jurisdictional Coordinating Committee on September 27 to gain input on our approach and learn of their plans to address the Title VI circular requirements. The majority of the jurisdictions are still in the beginning stages of developing their plans. A number of jurisdictions indicated they are monitoring Metro s progress on the circular to help guide their own process and approach. We will continue to work with the jurisdictions on this process.
