  1. GIS for Title VI Compliance

  2. Zach Van Gemert • Born and Raised in Denver, CO. • Education in Land Use/GIS • Employed at RTD for 11+ years • Systems support for Call-n-Ride, GIS, INIT, Ridecheck Plus, Trapeze

  3. Regional Transportation District ( ) • Service Area • Population: 2.8 million • Area: 2,340 square miles • 40 municipalities, 6 counties plus 2 city/county jurisdictions • Services • Fixed routes: 133 • Bus Stops: 9,504 • Park-n-Rides: 77 with 31,049 parking spaces • Special Services • Access-a-Ride • BroncosRide • BuffRide • Call-n-Ride • RockiesRide • Ridership • 2012: 328,109 average weekday boardings • Vehicles • Bus: 998 • Light Rail: 172

  4. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) • States “Transit providers shall prepare demographic and service profile maps and charts after each decennial census and prior to proposed service reductions or eliminations.” • Title VI Program Plan: must be submitted to FTA every three years and must be approved by board of directors or appropriate governing entity prior to submission to FTA. • Transit providers that have implemented or will implement a New Start, Small Start, or other new fixed guideway capital project shall conduct a service and fare equity analysis. • Require maps displaying transit base data, demographic profile data and transit facilities

  5. Title VI Program Plan • Demographics • Maps and Charts • Low Income Areas • Aerial Photo (Land Use) • Minority Population Density • Population + Employment Density • Minority Population Area • Aerial Photo (Land Use) • Low Income Household Density • Population + Employment Density • Limited English Proficiency (LEP) • Fare Policy • Service Changes • Service Standards • Headways • On-time Performance • Service Availability • Transit Amenities • Vehicle Assignments

  6. Title VI Program Plan cont. Base Spatial Data • District Boundary • Route Lines • Transit Facilities • Administrative • Maintenance • Park-n-Rides • Rail Stations • Shelters • Transfer Stations • Other • Business Districts • Hospitals • Schools

  7. Title VI Program Plan cont. Demographics • Minority Population Areas • Aerial Photo (Land Use) • Low Income Household Density • Population + Employment Density • Low Income Areas • Aerial Photo (Land Use) • Minority Population Density • Population + Employment Density

  8. Title VI Program Plan cont. Shelters • Areas of Dense Low Income or Minority Populations • Equitable distribution of stop shelters

  9. Census Data • Census.gov • American FactFinder • factfinder2.census.gov • Low Income Households Density • FTA “any group of households whose income is <=150% of the household size poverty guidelines for the average household size of that census tract” • Calculations • AVERAGE_HH_SIZE: TOTAL_POP / HOUSEHOLDS • HH_LESS_25:  [HH_LESS_10] + [HH_10_15] + [HH_15_25] • HH_LESS_35:  [HH_LESS_25] + [HH_25_35] • HH_LESS_50:  [HH_LESS_35] + [HH_35_50] • HH_LESS_75:  [HH_LESS_50] + [HH_50_75] • LOW_INC_HH:  • IF [AVERAGE_HH_SIZE] <= 2 THEN [HH_LESS_25] • IF [AVERAGE_HH_SIZE] > 2 AND <= 4 THEN [HH_LESS_35] • IF [AVERAGE_HH_SIZE] > 4 AND <= 6 THEN [HH_LESS_50] • IF [AVERAGE_HH_SIZE] > 6 THEN [HH_LESS_75] • LOW_INC_HH_PCT:  [LOW_INC_HH] / [HOUSEHOLDS] • Minority Population Density • Total Population - White Population = Minority Population • Minority Population / Total Population = Minority Population Density

  10. West Corridor • Maps Displaying Each Service Change • Low Income Households Density • Minority Population Density

  11. Demographic Analysis “Polygon Overlay Tool” • Spatial Area Ratios • Ratios applied to demographic fields

  12. Tables • Regional Population Data (RTD Service Area) • Total Population of Service Area • Minority Population • Minority Population Percentage • Total Households • Low-Income Households • Low-Income Households Percentage • Affected Census Tracts • Route/Service • Bus • Call-n-Ride • Light Rail • Service Change Type • Current Route • Discontinued Service • New Route • Total Population Affected Tracts • Total Minority Population in Affected Tracts • Minority Population Percentage • Total Households Affected Tracts • Total Low-Income Households in Affected Tracts • Low-Income Households Percentage • Spatial Data Type Used

  13. Summary • Title VI Reporting • Responsibilites • GIS • FTA
