Tamarac Transit uses a multifaceted social media strategy via the internet through the City of Tamarac
website to interact with the public. In addition, translation to various languages is available by choosing

Appendix D: Public Participation Plan (PPP)
Introduction
The Public Participation Plan (PPP) for City of Tamarac Transit was developed to ensure that all members of the
public, including minorities and Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations, are encouraged to participate in the
decision -making process for City of Tamarac Transit. The City also recognizes the importance of many types of
stakeholders in the decision -making process, including other units of government, metropolitan area agencies,
community -based organizations, major employers, passengers and the general public, including low-income,
minority, LEP, and other traditionally underserved communities.
Public Participation Goals
The main goal of the PPP is to offer meaningful opportunities for all interested segments of the public, including,
but not limited to, low-income, minority and LEP groups, to comment, about City of Tamarac Transit and its
operations. The goals for this PPP include:
• Inclusion and Diversity: City of Tamarac Transit will proactively reach out and engage low-income, minority, and
LEP populations for the City of Tamarac Transit service area so these groups will have an opportunity to participate.
• Accessibility: All legal requirements for accessibility will be met. Efforts will be made to enhance the accessibility of
the public's participation.
• Clarity and Relevance: Issues will be framed in public meetings in such a way that the significance and potential
effect of proposed decisions is understood by participants. Proposed adjustments to fares or services will be
described in language that is clear and easy to understand.
• Responsive: City of Tamarac Transit will strive to respond to and incorporate, when possible, appropriate public
comments into transportation decisions.
• Tailored: Public participation methods will be tailored to match local and cultural preferences as much as possible.
• Flexible: The public participation process will accommodate participation in a variety of ways and will be adjusted
overtime as needed.
Public Participation Methods
City of Tamarac Transit will conduct community meetings and listening sessions as appropriate with passengers,
employers, community- b a s e d organizations, and advisory committees to gather public input and distribute
information about service quality, proposed changes or new service options.

management. The public will also be able to call the City of Tamarac Transportation office at 954-597-3649 during its
hours of operation.
For all public meetings, the venue will be a facility that is accessible for persons with disabilities and, preferably, is
served by public transit. If a series of meetings are scheduled on a topic, different meeting locations may be used,

Appendix E: Language Assistance Plan (LAP)
Introduction
City of Tamarac operates a transit system within Tamarac and portions of Lauderdale Lakes and North Lauderdale.
The Language Assistance Plan (LAP) has been prepared to address City of Tamarac Transit's responsibilities as they
relate to the needs of individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP In the City of Tamarac Transit's service area
there are 8,716 residents or 16.77% who describe themselves as not able to communicate in English"very well"
(Source: US Census).
City of Tamarac Transit is federally mandated (Executive Order 13166) to take responsible steps to ensure
meaningful access to the benefits, services, information and other important portions of its programs and
activities for individuals who are LEP. City of Tamarac Transit has utilized the U.S. Department of Transportation
(USDOT) LEP Guidance Handbook and performed a four -factor analysis to develop its LAP.
For many LEP individuals, public transit is the principal transportation mode available. It is important for City of
Tamarac Transit to be able to communicate effectively with all its riders. When City of Tamarac Transit is able to
communicate effectively with all of its riders, the service provided is safer, more reliable, convenient, and
accessible for all within its service area. City of Tamarac Transit is committed to taking reasonable steps to ensure
meaningful access for LEP individuals to this agency's services in accordance with Title VI.
This plan will demonstrate the efforts that City of Tamarac Transit undertakes to make its service accessible to all
persons without regard to their ability to communicate in English. The plan addresses how services will be
provided through general guidelines and procedures including the following:
• Identification: Identifying LEP populations in service areas
• Notification: Providing notice to LEP individuals about their right to language services
• Interpretation: Offering timely interpretation to LEP individuals upon request
• Translation: Providing timely translation of important documents
• Staffing: Identifying City of Tamarac Transit staff to assist LEP customers
• Training: Providing training on LAP to responsible employees.
Four Factor Analysis
The analysis provided in this report has been developed to identify LEP population that may use City of Tamarac
Transit services and identify needs for language assistance. This analysis is based on the "Four Factor Analysis"
presented in the Implementing the Department of Transportation's Policy Guidance Concerning Recipients'
Responsibilities to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons, dated April 13, 2007, which considers the following
factors:
1) Demography: identifying the number and/or proportion of LEP persons served or encountered, and
languages spoken in service area.
2) Frequency: determining the rate of contact with the City's programs, activities, and services.
3) Importance: gauging the nature and importance of City's program, service, and activities to
people's lives.
4) Resources: assessing current and available resources, including language assistance services.
Factor 1• The Number and Proportion of LEP Persons Serviced or Encountered in the Eligible Service Population
Of the 51,976 residents in the City of Tamarac Transit service area 8,716 residents describe themselves as speaking
English less than "very well". People of Spanish/Spanish Creole, French Creole descent are the primary LEP persons
likely to utilize City of Tamarac Transit services. For the City of Tamarac Transit service area, the American
Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau shows that among the area's population 83.23% speak English
"very well". For groups who speak English "less than very well", 10.28% speak Spanish/Spanish Creole and 3.91%
speak French Creole.
Appendix F contains a table which lists the languages spoken at home by the ability to speak English for the population
within the City of Tamarac Transit service area.
Factor 2: The Frequency with which LEP Individuals Come into Contact with Your Programs, Activities, and Services
City of Tamarac Transit has assessed the frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with the transit
system. The methods utilized for this assessment include analysis of Census data, examining phone inquiries,
requests for translated documents, and staff survey. As discussed above, Census data indicates that people of
Spanish/Spanish Creole and French Creole descent are the primary LEP groups. Phone inquiries and staff survey
feedback indicated that City of Tamarac Transit dispatcher and drivers interact frequently with LEP persons. The
majority of these interactions have occurred with LEP persons who mainly spoke Spanish or Creole.
Factor 3: The Nature and Importance of the Program, Activity, or Service Provided by the Recipient to People's Lives
Public transportation and regional transportation planning is vital to many people's lives. According to the
Department of Transportation's Policy Guidance Concerning Recipient's Responsibilities to LEP Persons, providing
public transportation access to LEP persons is crucial. A LEP person's inability to utilize public transportation
effectively, may adversely affect his or her ability to access health care, education, or employment.
City of Tamarac Transit operations staff are aware of the importance of providing meaningful access to information
and services for LEP persons.
Bilingual customer service provides assistance on the use of the system and trip planning —very important for LEP's
to access the system.
The main LEP persons are of Spanish and French Creole descent. The City of Tamarac Transportation Division will
work with social service, professional and leadership organizations with the Tamarac service area that focuses on
outreach to these LEP populations.
Factor 4: The Resources Available to the Recipient and Costs
City of Tamarac Transit assessed its available resources that are currently being used, and those that could be used,
to provide assistance to LEP populations. These resources include the following:
• Hired bilingual transportation staff to handle customer service inquiries in Spanish and French Creole.
• Website translation by Google or Microsoft including Spanish and French Creole to accommodate the
changing demographic needs of passengers who may not use English as a primary language.
• Route schedules are available in alternative formats through Broward County Transit
• Print advertisements in Spanish and French Creole as needed.
Language Assistance Plan
In developing a Language Assistance Plan, FTA guidance recommends the analysis of the following five elements:
• Identifying LEP individuals who need language assistance
• Providing language assistance measures
• Training staff
• Providing notice to LEP persons
• Monitoring and updating the plan
The five elements are addressed below.
Element 1: Identifying LEP Individuals Who Need Language Assistance
City of Tamarac Transit has identified the number and proportion of LEP individuals within its service area using
United States Census data (see Appendix F). As presented earlier, 62.10% of the service area population speaks
English only. The largest non-English spoken language in the service area is Spanish/Spanish Creole (22.43%). Of
those who primary spoken language is Spanish/Spanish Creole, approximately 10.28% identify themselves as
speaking less than "very well". Those residents whose primary language is not English or Spanish/Spanish Creole and
who identify themselves as speaking English less than "very well' account for 6.49% of the service area population.
City of Tamarac Transit may identify language assistance need for an LEP group by:
1. Examining records to see if requests for language assistance have been received in the past, either at
meetings or over the phone, to determine whether language assistance might be needed at future events
or meetings.
2. Having Census Bureau Language Identification Flashcards available at City of Tamarac Transit Meetings. This
will assist City of Tamarac Transit in identifying language assistance needs for future events and meetings.
3. Having Census Bureau Language Identification Flashcards on all transit vehicles to assist operators in
identifying specific language assistance needs of passengers. If such individuals are encountered, vehicle
operators will be instructed to obtain contact information to give to City of Tamarac Transit management to
follow-up.
4. Vehicle operators and front-line staff (i.e. Dispatchers, Transit Operation Supervisors, etc.) will be
surveyed on their experience concerning any contacts with LEP persons during the previous year.
Element 2: Language Assistance Measures
City of Tamarac Transit will undertake the following actions to improve access to information and services for LEP
individuals:
1. Provide bilingual staff at community events, public hearings, and transit meetings when possible.
2. Survey transit drivers and other front-line staff annually on their experience concerning any contacts with
LEP persons during the previous year.
3. Include statements clarifying that being bilingual is preferred on bus driver recruitment postings.
4. When an interpreter is needed in person or on the telephone, staff will attempt to access language
assistance services from staff or qualified community volunteers.
City of Tamarac Transit will utilize the demographic maps provided in Appendix G in order to better City the above
efforts to the LEP persons within the service area.
Element 3: Training Staff
In the case of the City of Tamarac Transit, the most important staff training is for transportation office staff and
transit drivers. These employees are bilingual in English and Spanish and/or English and French Creole.
The following training will be provided to key City of Tamarac Transit staff:
• Information on Title VI Procedures and LEP responsibilities
• Use of LEP "I Speak Cards"
• Documentation of language assistance requests
• How to handle a potential Title VI/LEP complaint
City of Tamarac Transit
Element 4• Providing Note to LEP Persons
City of Tamarac Transit will make Title VI information available in English, Spanish and French Creole on the City's
website. Key documents are written in English, Spanish and French Creole. Notices are also posted in the Tamarac
Community Center and on buses. Additionally, when staff prepares a document or schedules a meeting, for which
the target audience is expected to include LEP individuals, then documents, meeting notices, flyers, and agendas
will be printed in an alternative language based on the known LEP population.
Element 5• Monitoring and Updating the Plan
The plan will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis with assistance from Broward County Transit. Updates
will consider the following:
• The number of documented LEP person contacts encountered annually
• How the needs of LEP persons have been addressed
• Determination of the current LEP population in the service area
• Determination as to whether the need for translation services has changed
• Determine whether City of Tamarac's financial resources are sufficient to fund language assistance
resources needed
City of Tamarac understands the value that its service plays in the lives of individuals who rely on this service, and
the importance of any measures undertaken to make the use of system easier. City of Tamarac is open to suggestions
from all sources, including customers, City of Tamarac Transit staff, other transportation agencies with similar
experiences with LEP communities, and the general public, regarding additional methods to improve their
accessibility to LEP communities.
Safe Harbor Provision
DOT has adopted the Department of Justice's Safe Harbor Provision, which outlines circumstances that can
provide a "safe harbor" for recipients regarding translation of written materials for LEP population. The Safe
Harbor Provision stipulates that, if a recipient provides written translation of vital documents for each eligible LEP
language group that constitutes five percent (5%) or 1,000 persons, whichever is less, of the total population of
persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered, then such action will be considered strong
evidence of compliance with the recipient's written translation obligations. Translation of non -vital documents, if
needed, can be provided orally. If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the five
percent (5%) trigger, the recipient is not required to translate vital written materials but should provide written
notice in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of
those written materials, free of cost.
City of Tamarac Transit service area does have LEP populations which qualify for the Safe Harbor Provision. As
shown in Appendix F, 7,379 speakers qualify for the Safe Harbor Provision as the number of persons which speak
English less than "very well". Of those 7,379 speakers, 10.28% or 5,345 persons speak Spanish/Spanish Creole and
3.91% or 2,034 speak French Creole.
The Safe Harbor Provision applies to the translation of written documents only. They do not affect the requirement
to provide meaningful access to LEP individuals through competent oral interpreters where oral language services
are needed and are reasonable. City of Tamarac may determine, based on the Four Factor Analysis, that even
though a language group meets the threshold specified by the Safe Harbor Provision, written translation may not
be an effective means to provide language assistance measures.
