The type, timing, and frequency of these measures are at the recipient's discretion, as long as the type, timing, and frequency are sufficient to notify passengers and other interested persons of their rights under DOT's Title VI regulations with regard to the recipient's program. Notices detailing a recipient's Title VI obligations and complaint procedures shall be translated into languages other than English, as needed and consistent with the DOT LEP Guidance and the recipient's language assistance plan. Indian River County has a Title VI notice to the public that directs citizens to contact the County if any person feels that the County or its transit service provider, the Senior Resource Association (SRA), has violated his or her Title VI protections. This notice is on the County website, the GoLine website, on GoLine buses, at GoLine stations, and in the GoLine rider brochure. The Title VI notice is available in both English and Spanish. A copy of the Title VI notice is provided in Appendix A. 1-2 TITLE VI COMPLAINT PROCEDURES AND FORM In order to comply with the reporting requirements established in 49 CFR Section 21.9(b), all recipients shall develop procedures for investigating and tracking Title VI complaints filed against them and make their procedures for filing a complaint available to members of the public. Recipients must also develop a Title VI complaint form, and the form and procedure for filing a complaint shall be available on the recipient's website. FTA requires direct and primary recipients to report information regarding their complaint procedures in their Title VI Programs in order for FTA to determine compliance with DOT's Title VI regulations. As a recipient of federal dollars, Indian River County is required to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and ensure that services and benefits are provided on a nondiscriminatory basis. The County has in place a Title VI Complaint Procedure, which outlines a process for local disposition of Title VI complaints and is consistent with guidelines found in FTA Circular 4702.16, dated October 1, 2012. The complaint procedure has five (5) steps, outlined below: 1. Submission of Complaint: Any person who feels that he or she, individually, or as a member of any class of persons, on a basis of race, color, or national origin has been excluded from or denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any program of activity receiving federal financial assistance through Indian River County may file a written complaint, using the FTA Title VI complaint form which can be downloaded by accessing the following link at the GoLine website: http://www.golineirt.com/documents/VI Complaint Form.pdf (a copy of the complaint form is also available in Appendix B). Any complaint must be filed within 180 calendar days after the person believes discrimination occurred. If the complainant is unable to provide a written complaint, the Title VI Specialist will conduct an interview and assist the complainant in converting verbal complaints to writing. All complaints must be signed by the complainant or his/her representative. Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 9 68 2. Complaint Tracking Log: Once Indian River County receives the complaint and the investigation is initiated, the complaint will receive a case number and will then be logged into the County's records identifying its basis and alleged harm. Complaint Review: Upon receipt of the signed complaint, the MPO's Title VI Specialist will coordinate with the County and its transit service provider, the SRA, to ensure a thorough review of the complaint within 60 calendar days after the date received. If more time is required, the Title VI Specialist shall notify the complainant of the estimated timeframe for completing the review. Upon completion of the review, the Title VI Specialist shall make a recommendation regarding the merit of the complaint and whether remedial actions are available to provide redress. Additionally, the Title VI Specialist may recommend improvements relative to Title VI and environmental justice, as appropriate. The Title VI Specialist shall then issue a written response to the complainant explaining the determination. 4. Request for Reconsideration: If the complainant is dissatisfied with the determination and/or resolution set forth by the County, the same complaint may be submitted to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for investigation. Complainant will be advised to contact the Federal Transit Administration, Office of Civil Rights, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. 5. County Response to FTA: A copy of the complaint and the County's investigative report of finding and final remediation action plan, if appropriate, will be issued to FTA within 120 days of receipt of the complaint. A summary of the complaint and its resolution will be included as part of the Title VI updates to the FTA. 1-3 RECORD OF TITLE VI INVESTIGATIONS, COMPLAINTS, OR LAWSUITS In order to comply with the reporting requirements of 49 CFR Section 21.9(b), FTA requires all recipients to prepare and maintain a list of any of the following that allege discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin: active investigations conducted by entities other than FTA; lawsuits; and complaints naming the recipient. This list shall include the date that the investigation, lawsuit, or complaint was filed; a summary of the allegation(s), the status of the investigation, lawsuit or complaint; and actions taken by the recipient in response, or final findings related to, the investigation, lawsuit, or complaint. There are no lawsuits or complaints alleging that Indian River County discriminates on the basis of race, color, or national origin with respect to service or other transit benefits. 1-4 PROMOTING INCLUSIVE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION The content and considerations of Title Vl, the Executive Order on LEP, and the DOT LEP Guidance shall be integrated into each recipient's established public participation plan or process (i.e., the document that explicitly describes the proactive strategies, procedures, and desired outcomes that underpin the recipient's public participation activities). Grant recipients are required to comply with the public participation requirements of 49 U.S.C. Sections 5307(b) (requires programs of projects to be developed with public participation) and 5307(c)(1)(1) (requires a locally developed process to consider public comment before raising a fare or carrying out a major reduction in transportation service). Recipients engaged in planning and other decision-making activities at the local level should consider the principles embodied in the planning regulations, and develop and use a documented public participation plan or process that provides adequate notice of public participation activities, as well as early and continuous opportunities for public review and comment at key decision points. Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 10 69 Indian River County welcomes the opportunity to include the public in its activities. The County continually updates both the County website and the GoLine website to provide the most current information on transit activities, including, but not limited to, public notices, service changes, public workshops, fares, and policies. Comparable information is posted on GoLine buses and at GoLine stations. The County's transit service provider, the Senior Resource Association (SRA), produces a rider brochure, also available on the GoLine website, with information on GoLine policies, procedures, and routes. The County, to the best of its ability, follows the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization's Public Participation Plan. The MPO's Public Participation Plan sets forth the MPO's vision for public participation, identifies strategies for engaging the public, and establishes protocols for receiving public comment. The MPO's Public Participation Plan is available on the MPO's website at the following link: https://indianriver.gov/MPO/PublicParticipationPlan. The MPO continually updates its website to provide the most current information on transportation planning activities. In an effort to identify racial and ethnic minority, transportation disadvantaged, economically challenged, Limited English Proficient (LEP), elderly, and other populations that could potentially be the victims of discrimination in the use of federal funds, the Indian River County MPO maintains a Community Characteristics Report, which divides the county into 24 communities based on census tract boundaries. This report was first developed in 2003 and was the first such report in the state of Florida. Since that year, the report has been updated three times: first using data from the 2010 Census, then with American Community Survey (ACS) data from 2015, and most recently with the 2020 Census. The Community Characteristics Report is available on the MPO's website (https://indianriver.gov/MPO/CommunityCharacteristicsReport2O2O). For each community, major institutions and issues of concern were identified in order to meet the state's mandate of "early and proactive public involvement in future transportation improvements." At the time of this report, staff is preparing an update to the Community Characteristics Report based on 2024 ACS data. Based on the results of that input, the MPO has identified a number of neighborhoods with minority populations and has targeted numerous public transportation events and outreach activities in those areas. Most of these events have been conducted in conjunction with updates to the MPO's Transit Development Plan (TDP) and Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). As part of the 2025 LRTP process, eight public workshops were conducted throughout the county to gather public input on the future of public transportation in Indian River County. Of those eight public workshops, three were conducted in predominantly minority communities, including a predominantly African- American community and a predominantly Spanish-speaking community. In addition, the 2023 Transit Development Plan (TDP) process included substantial outreach to both transit users and non-users. Over 870 passenger surveys (13% of which were completed in Spanish) were conducted to provide riders an opportunity to provide the MPO with valuable feedback on how the public transportation can best serve the community and the surrounding region. Both the workshops and surveys were conducted in both English and Spanish, as needed. Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 11 70 1-5 PROVIDING MEANINGFUL ACCESS TO SERVICES BY PERSONS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP) Consistent with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, DOT's implementing regulations, and Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency" (65 FR 50121, Aug. 11, 2000), recipients shall take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to benefits, services, information, and other important portions of their programs and activities for individuals who are limited -English proficient (LEP). In order to ensure meaningful access to programs and activities, recipients shall use the information obtained in the Four Factor Analysis to determine the specific language services that are appropriate to provide. Results of the Four Factor Analysis, including a description of the LEP population(s) served To continue reaching LEP persons in Indian River County, MPO staff conducted targeted needs assessments and gathered data to gain an understanding of the public transportation needs. The four - factor framework, as described in Chapter III of FTA Circular 4702.16, was used to determine the following: Factor 1 — The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered by the program or recipient. According to data from the Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey (ACS), Indian River County's population aged 5 years and over is 160,560, with 85.9% speaking English as the primary language at home. The ACS estimates that 16,076 people, or 10.0% of the population age 5 and over, speaks primarily Spanish at home. Table 1 provides a detailed breakdown of the languages spoken in Indian River County. About five percent of the total population speaks English less than "very well". Of those who speak English less than "very well", the overwhelming majority speak Spanish as their primary language. Map 1 shows the geographic location of persons in Indian River County who speak English less than "very well". As a result of this analysis, the GoLine has targeted Spanish speakers as the predominant LEP population for assistance. The agency will work to target areas with a high proportion of LEP populations to ensure that all needs for assistance are met. Factor 2 - The frequency with which LEP persons come into contact with the program. The Federal guidance for this factor recommends that agencies should assess the frequency with which they have contact with LEP individuals from different language groups. The more frequent the contact with a particular LEP language group, the more likely enhanced services will be needed. Among the users of the GoLine are persons with LEP. As shown in Map 1, many GoLine routes serve portions of Indian River County where there are concentrations of persons with LEP. This includes the community of Fellsmere, where, according to 2024 ACS 5 -year data, 20.8% of the population speaks English less than "very well". In the Fellsmere community, nearly all LEP persons speak Spanish as their primary language. Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 12 71 Factor 3 - The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by the program to people's lives. Due to the number of Spanish-speaking residents that rely upon the GoLine as a primary mode of transportation, the County's transit service provider, the SRA, maintains at least one Spanish- speaking dispatcher and driver on staff. Where feasible, the County, the MPO, and SRA translate plans, programs, and guidelines into Spanish, including surveys. In addition, both the County and the MPO make available translators at public transportation public meetings conducted in Fellsmere, a community which has the highest concentration of LEP persons in Indian River County. Factor 4 - The resources available to the recipient for LEP outreach, as well as the costs associated with that outreach As discussed above, many LEP persons depend on the GoLine public transportation system as a primary mode of travel. Based on the current resources available, Indian River County, the MPO, and transit service operator (SRA) are providing the most cost-effective means of delivering competent and accurate language services within the GoLine service area. Both the County and SRA employ bilingual persons to assist with translating when needed. Both the County and the SRA will continue to monitor the need for additional language assistance, including the need for greater dissemination of information in the existing languages and/or translation to new languages. If additional services are needed, the County and the SRA will determine which additional language assistance measures are cost-effective and feasible for implementation based on current and projected financial resources.

Describe how the recipient provides language assistance services by language. Individuals who have a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English are considered LEP persons. Indian River County recognizes that a special effort is necessary to communicate important transit information to some transit system users. In order to meet this need, the County and its transit service provider, the SRA, take the following steps: • Seek out opportunities to conduct outreach to the community and faith -based organizations serving minority populations. • Provide language assistance on its transit customer service hotline. • Participate in updates to the County's evacuation and disaster preparedness plans to ensure the plans include the needs of all community members, especially LEP, low-income, and minority populations. • Continue to review programs, activities, and services provided to ensure that LEP persons can participate and utilize our services. To determine how best to continue reaching LEP persons in Indian River County and improve current ongoing efforts, the County and the SRA will continue to conduct targeted needs assessments and gather data to gain an understanding of the need. Describe how the recipient provides notice to LEP persons about the availability of language assistance. Through the methods listed below, the County and its transit service provider, the SRA, provide notice to LEP persons about the availability of language assistance: • Website: Both the MPO and GoLine websites feature a language translator for over 100 languages. For GoLine passengers, information on how to access GoLine services, bus schedules, route maps, and instructions on riding the bus are available in English and Spanish. • Safety and Security: Several GoLine drivers speak Spanish and assist Spanish-speaking bus riders as needed. • Training: Driver training for new employees and refresher training provided annually to drivers reminds them of the importance of conveying information to passengers as part of their customer service training. • Customer Service: Telephone lines are equipped to the extent possible with persons who speak Spanish and English. Personnel who are bilingual are identified for providing assistance. • Translated Material: Spanish versions of the rider brochure and survey materials are available upon request. • Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD): The SRA, Indian River County's transit service provider, has a TDD dedicated line. • Community Outreach: Indian River County makes available persons who can serve as translators at community outreach meetings whenever possible. Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 16 75 Describe how the recipient monitors, evaluates and updates the language assistance plan. Indian River County provides an ongoing needs assessment to determine how best to continue reaching LEP persons in the community and how to improve ongoing efforts. To ensure that the intent of the language assistance plan remains current, County and SRA staff will continue to monitor and update the plan and report progress every three years. These efforts will include the following actions: • Monitor current LEP populations in the service area and in emerging populations affected or encountered. • Assess the language assistance plan's success in meeting the needs of LEP persons. • Communicate the goals and objectives of the language assistance plan and evaluate the opportunity for community involvement and planning. • Post signs to communicate language services available at initial contact points. The County and SRA will continue to provide signage and written information on vehicles and at transfer stations in other languages. • Indicate the availability of language services on outreach documents, brochures, booklets, and in recruitment materials. • Whenever possible, make announcements in vehicles in other languages. • Whenever possible, make available telephone voicemail and menu systems in Spanish and services about how to get them. • Conduct outreach presentations and notices to schools, community, and faith -based organizations. The County and SRA will provide announcements and collect information on how best to serve LEP persons through community and faith -based organizations. • Whenever possible, include Spanish and other languages on its website. • Strive to provide excellent customer service, in-person and over the phone, in other languages. Front-line personnel will routinely provide information on LEP persons in order to best address identified needs. • Participate to the greatest extent possible in local events. Describe how the recipient trains employees to provide timely and reasonable language assistance to LEP populations. Both the County and SRA will provide ample training opportunities for employees to assist LEP populations with timely and reasonable language assistance. Towards this end, the County and SRA will conduct the following activities: • Provide information on LEP policies and procedures as part of new employee orientation and staff retraining. • Require staff to complete customer service traning and be provided guidance on working effectively with in-person and telephone interpreters. • Inform transit staff on how to obtain LEP services. • Train staff on how to respond to LEP persons over the telephone, through written communications, and through in-person contact. • Strive to ensure the competency of interpreters and translation services per DOT LEP Guidance Section VII(2). Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 17 76 1-6 DETERMINATION OF SITE OR LOCATION OF FACILITIES Title 49 CFR Section 21.9(b)(3) states, "In determining the site or location of facilities, a recipient or applicant may not make selections with the purpose or effect of excluding persons from, denying them the benefits of, or subjecting them to discrimination under any program to which this regulation applies, on the grounds of race, color, ornational origin; or with the purpose or effect of defeating orsubstantially impairing the accomplishment of the objectives of the Act or this part." Title 49 CFR part 21, Appendix C, Section (3)(iv) provides, 'The location of projects requiring land acquisition and the displacement of persons from their residences and businesses may not be determined on the basis of race, color, or national origin." For purposes of this requirement, 'facilities" does not include bus shelters, as these are transit amenities and are covered in Chapter IV, nor does it include transit stations, power substations, etc., as those are evaluated during project development and the NEPA process. Facilities included in this provision include, but are not limited to, storage facilities, maintenance facilities, operations centers, etc. Indian River County is committed to determining sites and location of facilities in a fair and equitable manner that is in accordance with Title VI. Excluding bus shelters and transit stations, the County has constructed one transit facility in recent years. That facility is the Main Transit Hub located near downtown Vero Beach and was funded through a Section 5309 Bus Livability Program grant awarded by the FTA. A major route restructuring occurred with the opening of the Main Transit Hub in April, 2017. As a result of those route modifications, transit service was enhanced in the Gifford community (86% minority population) and the Oslo/Vero Beach Highlands community (29% minority population). In the case of Gifford, the number of transit routes serving the community was increased and direct service to Indian River Mall was introduced. For Oslo/Vero Beach Highlands, direct service is now offered to the Main Transit Hub (and its many connecting options). During the planning stage for the Main Transit Hub, a Title VI equity analysis was conducted as part of the facility's Documented Categorical Exclusion prepared through the National Environmental Policy (NEPA) process. Through this analysis, it was determined that the facility was in compliance with Title VI. Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 18 77 SECTION 2 - SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSIT PROVIDERS The following information addresses the Title VI reporting requirements for fixed route transit providers, as described in Chapter IV of the FTA Circular 4702.16. 2-1 SERVICE STANDARDS FTA requires all fixed route transit providers to develop quantitative standards for all fixed route modes of operation for the indicators listed below. Providers of public transportation may set additional standards as appropriate or applicable to the type of service they provide. Section 2-1 summarizes the service standards for Indian River County's GoLine fixed -route transit system. GoLine operates as a fare free fixed -route system. The GoLine route network consists of 14 routes providing service throughout Indian River County, including the communities of Vero Beach, Sebastian, Fellsmere, Gifford, Wabasso, and Oslo. GoLine operates six days per week (Monday through Saturday). For most routes, weekday service hours are 6 AM to 9 PM, and Saturday service hours are 7 AM to 7 PM. GoLine's 14 routes connect at five transfer hubs: the Main Transit Hub, Indian River Mall, Gifford Health Center, North County Transit Hub, and the South County Park Intergenerational Center. At each hub, the connecting buses arrive at the same time, which allows for easy transfers from one route to another. According to MPO estimates, 47% of Indian River County residents live within % mile of a GoLine route and 83% live within 3/ mile of a GoLine route. Because GoLine is a fare free system and because a majority of county residents live close to a GoLine route, it is expected that the utilization of the GoLine public transportation system by the transportation disadvantaged population is very high. Vehicle Load Vehicle load can be expressed as the ratio of passengers to the total number of seats on a vehicle. For example, on a 40 -seat bus, a vehicle load of 1.3 means all seats are filled and there are approximately 12 standees. A vehicle load standard is generally expressed in terms of peak and off-peak times. Vehicle load, or load factor, is a ratio of the number of seats on a vehicle to the number of passengers on a particular route during periods of either peak or off-peak travel. Load factors are used by transit systems to determine the extent of possible overcrowding or the need for larger or additional vehicles on a route. The County and SRA monitor vehicle loads through feedback from passengers and operations staff, as well as ride checks. In situations where ridership increases on a route, then a larger vehicle will be assigned to that route to accommodate the increase in passengers. Because of Indian River County's aging population, it is the County's intent to operating transit vehicles with seating capacity for all passengers. Therefore, all transit routes operate at a vehicle load of 1.0 or below during all times (peak and non -peak). Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 19 78 Vehicle Headway Vehicle headway is the amount of time between two vehicles traveling in the same direction on a given line or combination of lines. Vehicle headway is a measurement of the time interval between two vehicles traveling in the same direction along the same route. A shorter headway corresponds to more frequent service. Vehicle headways are measured in minutes (e.g., every 60 minutes). Indian River County has the same frequency of service standard for all routes, with the only exception being for routes that provide regional or intercity service. All GoLine routes operate on 60 -minute headways. Currently, only one vehicle operates on a GoLine route at any given time. Reducing vehicle headways (i.e. increasing frequencies) would require adding a second vehicle to each affected route. Because increasing frequencies will require increasing the size of the GoLine fleet, it will involve capital costs as well as operating costs. Due to the limited resources available to a transit system operating in a county of only 156,000 residents, it is not financially feasible to reduce headways at this time. In the future, if vehicle headways are reduced, it would be implemented on a group of connected routes with high levels of ridership. On -Time Performance On-time performance is a measure of runs completed as scheduled. This criterion first must define what is considered to be "on time."An acceptable level of performance must be defined (expressed as a percentage). Indian River County strives to continually maintain on-time bus service. Because of the "hub and spoke" design of the GoLine route system, it is critical that buses consistently operate on-time. Every hour, GoLine buses connect with each other at five transfer locations: the Main Transit Hub (seven routes), Indian River Mall (five routes), the North County Hub (four routes), the Intergenerational Center (four routes), and the Gifford Health Center (three routes). Whenever one bus falls behind schedule, it can cause delays on all vehicles that operate on connecting routes. Therefore, County and SRA staff evaluate on-time performance on an ongoing basis and implement service changes to improve performance, as necessary. On-time performance is defined as a bus arriving at a scheduled time point within five minutes of the scheduled arrival; industry standard for on time performance is commonly cited as 75%. During FY 24/25, GoLine buses arrived on-time 92% of the time. Through the first quarter of FY 25/26, on-time performance has slightly increased to 95%. Service Availability Service availability is a general measure of the distribution of routes within a transit provider's service area. For example, a transit provider might set a service standard to distribute routes such that a specified percentage of all residents in the service area are within a one-quarter mile walk of bus service or a one-half mile walk of rail service. A standard might also indicate the maximum distance between stops or stations. These measures related to coverage and stop/station distances might also vary by population density. Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 20 79 Service availability is a measure of the distance a person must travel to gain access to transit service. Based on an analysis of the GoLine route network using 2020 Census data, it was determined that 47% of Indian River County residents live within % mile of a fixed route and 83% are within % of a fixed route. Standards developed with respect to transit access would apply to existing services as well as any proposed service modifications affecting transit service levels. The Indian River County Transit Development Plan includes policies to provide fixed route bus service to all multi -family developments exceeding 500 units and to all commercial areas exceeding 200,000 square feet. In developing the GoLine route network, several factors are considered in determining where to provide transit service: population density, average household income/poverty status within a community, and the amount of households without access to an automobile. GoLine service availability is highest in areas of higher population density, areas of concentrated poverty, and areas where vehicle ownership rates are lowest. 2-2 SERVICE POLICIES FTA requires fixed route transit providers to develop a policy for each of the following service indicators. Transit providers may set policies for additional indicators as appropriate. In accordance with Chapter IV of FTA Circular 4702.16, Indian River County has adopted the transit service policies below. Distribution of Transit Amenities Transit amenities refer to items of comfort, convenience, and safety that are available to the general riding public. Fixed route transit providers must set a policy to ensure equitable distribution of transit amenities across the system. Transit providers may have different policies for the different modes of service that they provide. Policies in this area address how these amenities are distributed within a transit system, and the manner of their distribution determines whether transit users have equal access to these amenities. Policy: The location of transit amenities, such as bus shelters and benches, along bus routes shall be based on the number of passenger boardings at bus stops along those routes. In addition, the availability of public right-of-way and the presence, or lack thereof, of physical constraints are factors that can affect the installation of transit amenities. Indian River County strives to maximize the coverage of transit service with amenities that provide comfort and convenience to its riders. In recent years, the County has implemented a program to install bus shelters at bus stop locations with high levels of passenger boardings. Through 2026, multiple phases of bus shelters have been constructed throughout Indian River County. These improvements include 73 completed shelters and 23 simme seats installed at busy commercial stops, transfer locations, near employment centers, and adjacent to multi -family developments. Because those bus shelters have been constructed throughout Indian River County, including in Fellsmere and Gifford (two predominantly minority communities with high levels of transit ridership), transit users have equal access to such transit amenities. All transit amenities are provided in a manner that complies with ADA regulations. Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 21 80 Vehicle Assignment Vehicle assignment refers to the process by which transit vehicles are placed into service in depots and on routes throughout the transit provider's system. Policies for vehicle assignment may be based on the age of the vehicle, where age would be a proxy for condition. Policy: Bus assignments shall take into account the operating characteristics of buses of various lengths in relation to the operating characteristics of each route. The largest vehicles shall be assigned to those routes that carry the highest number of passengers per revenue hour. Routes which require tight turns on narrow streets may be assigned smaller vehicles that are more maneuverable. Indian River County assigns vehicles based on the number of passengers along a route, vehicle seating capacity, and vehicle maneuverability. Bus assignments and the distribution of equipment are monitored to ensure that vehicle load/assignment policies are followed. All buses are wheelchair accessible. As of February 2026, the GoLine active fleet consists of the following vehicles: Table 2 — Vehicle Capacity Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 22 81 Average Seated FY 24/25 Make/Model Type # of Length Average passenger Ridership Vehicles Age (Yrs) (Avg. per Capacity Route) Gillig Low -Floor Bus Heavy -Duty 4 35' 6.5 32 211,493.5; Bus 2 Spares Gillig Low -Floor Bus Heavy -Duty 5 29' 8.4 28 119,842.67; Bus 2 Spares Medium - Champion Defender Duty 4 31' 5.25 24 102,107.25 Cutaway Medium - Champion Defender Duty 2 27' 7 20 80,578.5 Cutaway Turtle Top Odyssey Medium - Duty 3 28' 4 20 80,689.67 XL Cutaway Turtle Top Odyssey Light -Duty 1 24' 9 16 Spare Cutaway [Turtle Top Odyssey Light -Duty 1 29'9 20 Spare Cutaway Title VI Program (2026 Update) Page 22 81 APPENDIX A: TITLE VI NOTICES TO THE PUBLIC Standard Notice: Notifying the Public of Rights Under Title VI INDIAN RIVER TRANSIT Indian River Transit operates its programs and services without regard to race, color, and national origin in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

Indian River County, Florida Pegs 1 oil Printed on 3/17/2026 . - gje��y pow J.,49 Legistar— CSAC-funded agencies report progress quarterly, participate in site visits, and receive ongoing professional development designed to strengthen program quality and outcomes. In fact, 100 percent of funded agencies participated in professional development this year, with 93 percent reporting they are implementing new strategies to strengthen their programs. Identifying the right needs at the local level is the first step in ensuring that investments are directed where they will have the greatest impact. As programs become stronger and more data driven, the impact on children and families grows. Strengthening program quality, accountability, and performance ultimately leads to a stronger return on investment for the community and ensures taxpayer dollars are producing measurable results. BUDGETARYIMPACT There are no changes to the approved funding for the Children's Services Advisory Committee at this time. PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS The Board acknowledged the return on investment for children's programs on March 25, 2025 POTENTIAL FUTURE BOARD ACTIONS Future annual presentations on the CSAC Return on Investment STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Quality of Life OTHER PLAN ALIGNMENT N/A STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board accept the Staff Report on the return on investment for children's programs. Indian River County, Florida Page 2 of 2 Printed on 3/17/2026 • illc • Indian River County Children's Services Return on Investment Update Research Update 2026 The research highlighted in last year's return on investment report continues to reflect well-established findings about the value of investing in children and families. Across a wide range of programs including early childhood education, family support services, youth development initiatives, and health interventions, research consistently estimates return ranging from approximately $2.7 to $16 for every $1 invested. These findings remain widely used by researchers and policymakers and continue to provide a strong foundation for understanding the long-term economic impact of these investments. To ensure this report reflects the most current information available, several updated data points and national research findings have been included and are linked to the sections that follow. These investments also support today's workforce and local Indian River economy. When our families have access to reliable childcare, parenting support, health services, and youth development programs, our parents are better able to remain employed, maintain consistent work schedules, and contribute to the local economy. At the same time, children who grow up with strong support are more likely to succeed in school, develop career skills, and eventually enter the workforce themselves. In this way, investments in children and families strengthen the current workforce while also developing the skilled workforce and taxpayers of tomorrow. The following sections highlight updated research findings that align with the priority areas identified in the Children's Services Needs Assessment: Health and Well Being, Nurturing Families and Communities, Success in School and Life. Together, these areas reflect the critical support that help children thrive, strengthen families, and contribute to the long-term economic stability and quality of life within the community. Health and Well Being Research continues to show that improving maternal and child health produces measurable long-term benefits for families, communities, and the workforce. Preterm birth remains a significant public health and economic concern, with national data continuing to track the long-term health and economic impact associated with early births. Preventive support such as prenatal care, maternal health services, and early childhood health interventions improve birth outcomes and reduce long term healthcare costs. This support also helps parents remain active in the workforce. When families have access to reliable health services and early support during pregnancy and early childhood, parents are better able to maintain employment, avoid disruptions caused by medical complications, and provide stable environments for their children. Source: March of Dimes PeriStats https://www.marchofdimes.org/peristats Nurturing Families and Communities Research continues to confirm that strong family support and prevention services reduce the long-term societal costs associated with child maltreatment and family instability. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the lifetime economic burden of child abuse and neglect in the United States is approximately $592 billion, reflecting healthcare, child welfare services, education impacts, and lost productivity. 131 Programs that strengthen families, provide parenting support, and connect families with community resources help prevent abuse and neglect while improving outcomes for children. These services also stabilize families so parents can remain engaged in the workforce and maintain consistent employment. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention https://www.cdc.gov/child-abuse-neglect/about/index.html Success in School and Life Research continues to show that supporting young people through education, mentoring, and workforce pathways produces significant long term economic benefits. National data indicates that approximately 10.9 percent of youth ages 16 to 24 are disconnected from school or work, representing more than 4 million young people across the United States. Studies also estimate that the lifetime societal cost of a disconnected young person can approach $1 million when considering lost earnings, reduced tax revenue, and increased reliance on social services. Programs that provide mentoring, career exploration, academic support, and workforce development help young people stay connected to school and employment pathways. These programs contribute directly to the future workforce by preparing young people with the skills and experiences needed to enter high demand careers and contribute to the local economy. Sources: Measure of America https://measureofamerica.org/vouth-disconnection-2024/ RAND Corporation https://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PEA4207-1.html Early Childhood Development Research continues to demonstrate that high quality early childhood programs generate some of the strongest returns on public investment. Long term studies of early childhood interventions show an estimated 13 percent annual return on investment through improved education outcomes, higher lifetime earnings, and reduced social service costs. Early childhood programs also support the current workforce by allowing parents to participate in the labor market while their children receive safe, developmentally appropriate care and learning opportunities.

Indian River County, Florida Page 2 of 2 Printed on 3/17/2026 t3 ::;-: Indian River County Youth Internship Partnership Program Indian River County proposes to participate as a worksite partner in the WIOA Youth Connections Paid Internship Program administered by CareerSource Research Coast.

The program creates a mutually beneficial model. Youth gain meaningful work experience and income while the County invests early in a future workforce aligned with public service values. Why This Program Is Compelling for Human and Children's Services Early Intervention That Builds Stability Youth served through WIOA programs often face barriers such as limited work history, economic instability, or lack of access to career networks. Paid internships are a proven early intervention strategy that helps young people build financial literacy, employment skills, and confidence before challenges escalate into more intensive service needs. This approach aligns directly with Human Services' focus on prevention, stabilization, and long-term self-sufficiency. Workforce Development Without Direct County Payroll Cost CareerSource Research Coast serves as the employer of record, covering participant wages, workers' compensation, payroll processing, and required employment compliance. Indian River County provides supervision, training, and a safe work environment but does not assume payroll liability or benefit costs.

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator FROM: Kristin Daniels, Director- Office of Management & Budget DATE: February 16, 2026 SUBJECT: Children's Services Funding Allocation for Fiscal Year 2026/27 BACKGROUND Each year, the Board of County Commissioners approves a funding allocation for Children's Services. This amount is then allocated to the applicants based upon recommendations of the: Children's Services Advisory Committee (CSAC). The County has historically changed the funding allocation :based upon the previous fiscal year's tax roll change with exceptions during the economic downturn. On.Ma 17 2022 the Board approved changes. to the CSAC Ordinance which increased the maximum mills e Y PP 8 , g I cap to 0.2500 mills, up from the previous cap. of 0.1250 nrills. Since then, the Board has approved levying 0.1250 mills for the Children's Services funding allocation each fiscal year (FY). ANALYSIS Staff is seeking Board approval regarding the millage rate to be levied for FY 2026/27,: which will dictate the level of funding for the program. .. . Pursuant to Section 103,27(4) of the County . Code, funds shall be used for administrative expenses.:in an amount not to exceed eight (8) percent of the approved Children's Services budget. This amount fluctuates each year, depending on the approved funding level, and will be included ih the proposed budget when presented before. the Board in July at the Budget Workshops: BUDGETARYIMPACT Continuing to fund Children's Services at 0.1250 mills would generate $3;77$:,838 for FY 2026127. This is an increase of $299,346, or 8.6% in the upcoming, fiscal year. This approach lessens ;the f nancial pressure. on the General Fund, and in turn Indian River County taxpayers, while stili providing for:'a healthy increase in funding for the program: Gradual increases in additional funding also ensure the Children's Services agencies have time to plan for theunplementation of expanded or .additional services. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board approve funding for Children's Services agencies at the current 0.1250 millage rate which would generate $3,778,838 in funding for FY 2026/27 This amountprovides an 8.6% increiise:& Indian River County, Florida page 1 of 2 p -Printed on 3/17/2026 p. t-egista P � ow Y " $299,346 additional dollars when compared to the current year's funding.

At the County's request, once the sliver fill is completed by operations, SCS -FS will install eight , new vertical wells on the north slope of Cells 1 and 2. New vacuum lateral piping, ail••pipirig, and forcemain piping will also be installed for each of these wells. Additionally, vacuum lateral piping will be connected to the seven side slope collectors that were left in place. To account for the 20-30 feet of additional waste placed in Cell 2, two new vertical wells will be installed to replace wells EW -179 and EW-, 177. SCOPE OF WORK Task One: Vertical Well Installation SCS -FS will provide labor equipment and materials to install new vertical wells based' on the following ' scope of work description: • One mobilization and demobilization of Recovery Drilling Services • Drilling 1,015 vertical feet to install seven replacement wells: EW -41, EW -56R, fiW1 69, EW -70;. EW -72R, EW -177, EW -179, and three new vertical wells: EW -2401, EW -2402 and EW -2403. ' ' based on Figure 1. SCS -FS does not recommend installing replacement wells EW -68, EW -11' and EW -74 at this time due to shallow waste depths. The well schedule is presented in Table' 1. • Installation of 816 feet of 8 -inch schedule 80 perforated PVC pipe. Perforated pipe will be backfilled with #4 non calcareous stone. A geocomposite ring and bentonite seal.will be installed on top of the stone. • Installation of 250 feet of 8 -inch schedule 80 solid PVC pipe.'
