From: James O'Reilly, Chief Facilities ExecutiveV O
Date: September 4, 2014
Subject: Title VI Plan Relating to Federal Funds Used for Construction Enhancements of
Transit Areas
The District has four active federally funded transit enhancement grants:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Project Name LACC Red Line Station Extension LACC Pedestrian Enhancements LASC College Transit Center LA Trade Tech Intermodal Links with Bus and Metro
Grant Amount
$1 ,977,000
$2,060 ,116
$1,912,927
$1 ,104,500
Funding was granted to construct and enhance transit areas in and around the campuses for the
benefit of students, staff, and the community transit riders . This year the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transit Authority (LACMTA) , the pass through agency for this funding , informed the
District that
it is required to adopt a Title VI Plan to ensure the District is in compliance and
monitoring Title VI activities as they relate to the above listed projects. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race , color, or national origin in programs and services
receiving Federal financial assistance. As a sub-recipient of federal financial assistance, Los Angeles
Community College (LACCD) will ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
particularly in the area related to improving access and public participation for Limited English
Proficient (LEP) populations in those areas where the above transit projects occur.
As a result of this request , we have been working with General Counsel, the Director of Diversity
Programs, the District ADA Coordinator, and the Civil Rights Compliance Administrator at LACMTA to
draft this plan . The draft has been finalized and we will be submitting the draft to the Board at the
October 8, 2014 board meeting for proposed adoption.

Our use of the federa

e
appealing
g for our students to use
e when arriving and waitting for transsportation. W
We want ourr
students to identify where
w
to acc

mpuses and we want the
eir
experience to be plea
asant when waiting for transportatio
t
