Title

A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Coral Gables, Florida adopting the updated Title VI Program for the City of Coral Gables Trolley Service .

Body

 

Title VI is part of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin in the conduct of services and programs

 that receive federal funds.  It is the Federal Transit Administration’s (“FTA”) position that the City is required to adopt a “Title VI Program” for its trolley services because

 the City has one (1) trolley that was purchased with federal funds (purchased by Miami-Dade County and then provided to the City).  The FTA requires that the

Title VI Program be updated every three (3) years.  The City has updated its Title VI Program in accordance with FTA requirements and the Program is attached as

Exhibit 1 to the Resolution.
