APPROVING THE TRANSIT DEPARTMENT’S FARE EQUITY ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSAL (O-23-71) FOR PERMANENT ZERO FARES FOR ART AND SUNVAN SERVICE.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §2000d et seq. (“the Act”) and 49 CFR Part 21, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin; and

WHEREAS, as a recipient of FTA funds, the Transit Department is required to comply with the requirements of the Act and applicable implementing regulations; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to FTA Circular 4702.1B, the Transit Department is required to conduct a fare equity analysis for any changes to fares and to submit that equity analysis to its governing entity for approval; and

WHEREAS, the City Council is considering a change to the City’s Transit Fares (§ 7-2-1-1 ROA 1994) that make zero fares permanent for Albuquerque Rapid Transit (ART) lines and SunVan paratransit service but not for the rest of ABQ RIDE’s routes; and

WHEREAS, the Equity Analysis of the Proposal (O-23-71) for Permanent Zero Fares for ART and SunVan Service concluded that there was no disparate impact on minorities as defined in the Department’s 2020 Title VI Program; and

WHEREAS, the Council has considered and determined to approve the Transit Department’s Equity Analysis of the Proposal (O-23-71) for Permanent Zero Fares for ART and SunVan Service.
