Fairfax Connector Alert:
FCDOT is updating its Title VI program and needs your feedback. FCDOT’s Title VI policies dictate how we measure equitable distribution of transit service changes. As part of the update process, we are seeking feedback on the proposed Major Service Change and Disparate Impact/Disproportionate Burden policies.
A Major Service Change is a numerical threshold in change of service that determines when changes are large enough in scale to require the individual transit system to perform a service equity analysis.
FCDOT’s proposed Major Service Change Policy is as follows:
A major service change is defined as either an increase or a decrease of 25 percent or more in either daily revenue service hours, revenue service miles, or both for the individual route being modified.
Major Service Change Key Definitions:
A Disparate Impact/Disproportionate Burden policy defines a numerical threshold that determines when a “major service change” impacts minority riders or burdens low-income riders at a rate greater than the non-minority or non-low-income riders.
FCDOT’s proposed Disparate Impact/Disproportionate Policies are as follows:
A disparate impact (DI) occurs under the following circumstances:
A disproportionate burden (DB) occurs under the following circumstances:
We invite you to share your thoughts on these important policies through May 5, 2023. You can provide feedback by:
