Orange County Department of Planning
Title VI Program
The following documentation is submitted by Orange County (County), by and through its Department
of Planning and Development (OCPD) to fulfill reporting requirements outlined in FTA Circular –
4702.1B. The information provided follows the requirements and guidelines for reporting as set forth
in the program circular.
Title VI Assurances
OCPD will submit its Title VI Certification and Assurances via TrAMS at the beginning of the Federal
Fiscal Year when the announcement is made in the Federal Register. As a primary recipient of FTA
funds, the County collects Title VI assurances from its sub-recipients prior to passing through FTA
funds. The County also monitors its sub-recipients for continued compliance with Title VI, and requires
them to submit their Title VI Programs triennially and provide undertakings to follow County policies
and guidelines where necessary.
The County Legislature shall approve the Title VI Program by legislative resolution as per the
requirements laid out in the FTA Circular 4702.1B and the County Charter.
Title VI Complaint Procedures
General Overview
49 CFR. Part 21.1, provides that, “No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or
national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected
to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance from the
Department of Transportation.”
In order to comply with Title VI and all of the regulations of 49 CFR. Part 21, the County, acting by and
through its OCPD, provides the following complaint procedures for those persons who believe that
they have been subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial
assistance from the United States Department of Transportation. These procedures do not deny the
right of the complainant to file a formal complaint with other State or Federal agencies or to seek
private counsel for complaints alleging discrimination
Planning and administrative activities are performed by the OCPD and its contracted transit service
providers. The OCPD is a department of the County that reports to an elected County Executive and
that is subject to local legislation enacted by the County Legislature, which is an elected body. There
are no transit advisory bodies in the County for which it would be possible to report minority
representation. The Orange County Transportation Council (OCTC), the County’s Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO), which is involved in local transit planning activities and the
programming of FTA funds on the Transportation Improvement Program, is comprised of elected
Page | 2
officials and ex officio representatives from state or regional transportation and transit agencies (the
latter category – ex officio – being representatives to the MPO by virtue of the job for which they have
been hired by the respective state or regional agencies).
The County requires its contracted federally-funded transit providers to comply with all FTA and New
York State (State) policies and regulations. Compliance with FTA policies and regulations is
accomplished through the execution of an operator agreement which is renewed every three years,
and a requirement to update all certifications and assurances annually. If revisions to operator contract
language were warranted due to changes in FTA regulations, the County would require the operator
contract to be updated prior to the end of the three year term. Overall operator compliance is achieved
through the County’s extensive operator oversight program administered by the OCPD.
Who do these Title VI procedures apply to?
Title VI applies to any program for which Federal financial assistance is authorized under a law
administered by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). Federal financial
assistance includes: grants and Federal loans; the grant or donation of Federal property and interests
in property; the detail of Federal personnel; the sale and lease of and the permission to use Federal
property or any interest in such property without consideration, or at a nominal consideration, or in
recognition of the public interest to be served by such sale or lease to the recipient; any Federal
agreement, arrangement or other contract which has as one of its purposes the provision of assistance.
Who may file a Title VI complaint?
A complaint may be filed by any person who believes himself, herself, or any specific class of persons to
be subjected to discrimination.
What is discrimination under Title VI?
Discrimination under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, is an act (action or inaction),
whether intentional or unintentional, through which a person, solely because of race, color, national
origin, creed, sex, age or disability, has been otherwise subjected to unequal treatment or impact
under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance from the USDOT.
How and where is a discrimination complaint filed?
A complaint must be in writing, signed by the person(s) or their representative(s) and must include the
complainant’s name, address and telephone number. A Discrimination Complaint Form, which is
attached and marked as “Attachment A” may be used; however, a complaint may also be filed by
sending the complaint via facsimile or electronic mail.
A signed written complaint must be filed within 180 days of the date of the alleged discrimination. The
signed complaint must be sent to:
Commissioner
124 Main Street, 3rd Floor
Goshen, NY 10924
Page | 3
How long will it take for my complaint to be resolved?
The complaint will be reviewed by the Transit Coordinator of the OCPD. When practicable, the
complainant shall be notified, in writing, of the findings and remedial action, if any, within a period not
to exceed 60 days.
OCPD will maintain a complaint log substantially in the form attached and marked as “Attachment B”.
Title VI Investigations, Complaints, and Lawsuits
There have been no investigations, complaints, or lawsuits filed with or against the OCPD for Title VI
violations during the past three (3) years.
Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan
The OCPD has developed a LEP Plan, a copy of which is attached and marked as “Attachment C” to
provide LEP populations meaningful access to transportation services, programs, and activities within
the County. The document is designed to conform to the LEP requirements identified in the document
titled “Implementing the Department of Transportation’s Policy Guidance Concerning Recipients’
Responsibilities to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons – A Handbook for Public Transportation
Providers,” which was released by the Federal Transit Administration Office of Civil Rights on April 13,
2007.
Notification to Beneficiaries of Protection Under Title VI
The OCPD recognizes the importance of informing the public of its Title VI rights and providing and
distributing general information to the public in a manner and language that citizens can understand.
The OCPD and its sub-recipients periodically post the following statement through various media
outlets, including the Department’s website, the County Transit Guide (also available online at
www.transitorange.info), flyers, and postings on buses and in main transportation facilities, to notify
the public of their rights under Title VI. The following is the OCPD’s official Title VI Policy Statement
posted to notify individuals of their Title VI rights.

ORANGE COUNTY
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING
TITLE VI POLICY STATEMENT
Orange County Department of Planning (OCPD) assures that no person shall on the grounds
of race, color, sex, age, disability or national origin, as provided by Title VI of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, and the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 (P.L. 100.259) be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under
any program or activity. OCPD further assures every effort will be made to ensure
nondiscrimination in all of its programs and activities, whether those programs and activities
are federally funded or not. In the event that OCPD distributes federal aid funds to another
entity, it will include Title VI language in all written agreements and will monitor for
compliance.
Additional Information:
Individuals and/or organizations who would like more information concerning OCPD’s nondiscrimination obligations should contact:
Commissioner
124 Main Street
Goshen, NY 10924
If information is needed in another language, please contact Transit Orange at
[email protected] or call (845) 615-3840.
Complaint Procedures:
Individuals or organizations who believe they have been denied the benefits of, excluded
from participation in, or subject to discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national
origin can file an administrative complaint with the OCPD under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 and send to the above address. If desired, individuals and organizations may file a
complaint by completing the attached Title VI complaint form or a copy of the form is
available on-line at http://www.transitorange.info. Complaints should be signed and include
contact information.
The County provides Title VI notices as per the “Safe Harbor” guidance, which states that language or
translation assistance should be provided for each eligible language group that constitutes at least five
(5) percent or 1,000 LEP individuals, whichever is less. Based on the demographic data analysis,
Spanish and Yiddish LEP populations meet this threshold, and notification of Title VI protection is
provided in Spanish and Yiddish in transit administration buildings and on-board transit vehicles.
Additionally, if requested, the County will provide language assistance and will inform beneficiaries of
their rights upon request.

Monitoring Sub-recipients Compliance to Title VI
OCPD uses its semi-annual Operator Oversight Program as a primary mechanism for monitoring subrecipient compliance with Title VI regulations.
County Operator Oversight Program
The purpose of the Operator Oversight Program is to ensure that the County’s FTA sub‐recipients are
in compliance with statutory and administrative requirements mandated under Federal and State law,
and demonstrate the County’s ability to provide a sufficient level of oversight for its sub‐recipients.
The Operator Oversight Program mirrors the FTA Triennial Review program, which examines grantee
performance and adherence to current FTA requirements, including Title VI compliance.
In addition to helping evaluate sub‐recipients, the Operator Oversight Program gives the County an
opportunity to provide technical assistance to its fixed route, paratransit, and municipal dial‐a‐bus
operators. The Operator Oversight Program is a continuously operating program with quarterly
reporting requirements and semi‐annual on‐site inspections. Additionally, the program is designed to
provide operators technical assistance on an as needed basis. For example, issues related to Title VI
complaints received by the operators are communicated immediately to the designated OCPD staff,
while review of the complaint is taken, and the complaint review process is performed. When on‐site
inspections are performed, sub‐recipients are asked to provide a number of policy, procedural, and
planning documents, in addition to operational records (e.g., maintenance records and ridership
figures). If any of the requested items are identified as unsatisfactory, reviewers will note that
deficiencies were identified and work with the operator in developing corrective actions. These areas
are scrutinized in on‐site inspections to ensure identified issues are resolved in a timely manner.
Title VI activities and program areas covered as part of this monitoring procedure also include:
County Title VI/Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan
All sub-recipients are required to comply annually with FTA’s certifications and assurances to be
eligible to receive FTA funding from the County. Sub-recipients comply with the County’s umbrella
Title VI program on applicable policies that fall under the “General Requirements and Guidelines”
section of FTA’s Title VI register. None of the County’s sub-recipients meet the threshold of operating
50 or more fixed route vehicles in peak service. Hence the County provides them policy guidance on
service standards, service monitoring and changes and provides demographic profiles for operator
service areas. Sub-recipients are required to submit Title VI programs triennially to the County to assist
the County in its compliance efforts.
County Language Accessibility Plan (LAP)
Sub-recipients also follow the County’s policies and stipulations on providing language assistance in
their service areas. They use language profiles as collected by the County from Census data. This
language information is also used to identify languages that meet the “Safe Harbor” threshold and for
which translation of written materials would need to be provided to LEP populations.
Page | 6
During operator oversight visits, the County reviews On‐Board Title VI Signage, On‐Board Safety and
Security Signage, and On‐Board Comments/Complaints Signage to make sure that they are accessible
to LEP populations in accordance with the Safe Harbor provisions.
Title VI/LEP Public Outreach and Due Process Procedures
Sub-recipients have endorsed the County’s countywide public participation plan, which includes an
outreach plan to engage minority and limited English proficient populations, as well as a summary of
outreach efforts. This includes adherence to the County’s disparate impact policy and disproportionate
burden policy. Sub-recipients also seek County guidance on the configuration of public participation
activities based on a demographic analysis of affected population, service changes under
consideration, and available resources.
Title VI/LEP Complaint Log (Tracking, Investigations, and Resolutions)
Sub-recipients are required to maintain complaint logs, which are reviewed during operator oversight
visits. In addition, sub-recipients are required to report any Title VI related complaints to the County
immediately and work with the County to adhere to guidelines on filing procedures and resolution
times. The County uses its operator oversight program to review any and all complaints received by the
sub-recipients during a given period. During operator site visits, vehicles are inspected for signage
regarding complaint provisions and procedures.
Title VI/LEP Proactive Outreach Plan and Activities
Along with the stipulated public participation requirements, the County works with the sub-recipients
to discuss proactive activities and plans based on their demographic profiles, service operations and
changes being undertaken by the transit operator. This involves reaching out to specific community
organizations, and developing measures to increase participation of minorities and low-income
population.
Title VI/LEP Training or Education Materials
The County’s sub-recipients use the educational and training sources provided by OCPD along with any
specific training that they deem necessary. In addition, OCPD staff provides policy guidance to subrecipients on system-wide standards and policies like disparate impact and disproportionate burden.
They also provide information on changes to demographic profiles in sub-recipient service areas as the
OCPD updates its countywide Title VI demographic profile.
In addition to notifying citizens of their rights, OCPD has examined the language needs specific to its
ridership within its LEP Plan and produces public materials to meet the identified language needs of its
riders. One such effort was the creation of the County guide to transit services providing coordinated
service under the name “Transit Orange.”
OCPD is the designated coordinating agency for the provision of Federal funding for transit operators
in County and as a matter of policy, the County Transit Guide (which outlines basic information on the
County’s transit alternatives) is printed in English and Spanish. OCPD is currently working with transit
operators in distributing service schedules, maps, brochures, and other transit information in English
and in other languages in targeted areas identified through the LEP Plan. All planning activities and
Page | 7
notices which are advertised to the press are shared with news sources that serve a variety of County’s
LEP communities. Such publications include official newspapers like The Sentinel, Warwick Advertiser
Photo News, News of the Highlands, Der Blatt, KJ Bulletin, The Journal, Time Community Newspapers,
and Hudson Valley Press. Certain notices may also be published in the Times Herald Record, which
although is not an official County newspaper, it is the only countywide publication.
Information Request
OCPD and its sub-recipients will provide additional information, in writing, upon request by the FTA
when investigating complaints of discrimination or to resolve concerns about possible noncompliance
with Title VI.
Title VI Program
OCPD is committed to marketing efforts that reach and inform all current and/or potential transit
customers through various strategies and outlets, including those focused on reaching LEP ridership.
This is currently achieved through a variety of measures and is continuously being updated and
enhanced.
OCPD is part of the County sponsored Volunteer Translator Program, which operates across various
Departments to provide language assistance to those in need. These translators are well versed in a
number of languages including Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Hindi, Dutch, Hungarian, Egyptian,
Tagalog (Philippines), and American Sign Language. The name and contact information of the
volunteer translators and their language of expertise is attached and marked as “Attachment D”.
OCPD staff have presented at a number of community workshops to discuss transit alternatives in the
County and their use. Over the last several years, these workshops have been targeted at human
service organizations or groups, such as Crystal Run Village, Orange AHRC, Access: Supports for Living,
and the County Mental Health Department, in order to raise awareness and promote transit usage.
This program received a warm response from case managers who stated that the program was a
valuable and cost effective tool to helping transit-dependent residents overcome their fears of taking
the bus.
Additionally, offices providing social services, such as the County Departments of Health and Social
Services, frequently interact with low-income individuals and families. Those offices have been
provided with transit maps that highlight locations relevant to the services offered, such as clinic
locations and the bus routes used to reach them.
Lastly, printed media, such as the Transit Guide, has provided a good opportunity to reach passengers
speaking English as a second language. A copy of the Transit Guide in both English and Spanish is
attached and marked as “Attachment E1” and “Attachment E2”, respectively. On-board
advertisements and information signs have also been printed in English and Spanish. Additionally, a
large population of Yiddish- and/or Hebrew-speaking passengers is directly reached through
community newspapers, such as Der Blatt, KJ Bulletin, and The Journal.

Environmental Justice – Construction Projects
The OCPD has not undertaken any construction projects within the last three years which required an
environmental impact analysis. Also, OCPD has not undertaken any construction during this reporting
period requiring an environmental assessment.
Equity Analysis to Determine Site or Location of Facilities
The County does not own or operate any transit facilities. The County did not experience a major fare
increase or service reduction since the last Title VI submission that requires a formal equity analysis and
submission to FTA. However, the County did work with the local operator and State Department of
Transportation to expand fixed route services in Newburgh, NY beginning in December 2014. An
equity analysis and consideration to LEP, minority, and transportation disadvantaged populations was
a major factor when selecting route expansion through the transit planning process coordinated
through OCTC. Spanish language assistance was provided at public meetings which occurred during
the planning process.
Inclusive Public Participation Strategy
The OCPD recognizes the importance of engaging members of the public, particularly those who
depend upon public transit services, in planning activities. OCPD recognizes that it is particularly
important to make special efforts to reach out to and engage members of disadvantaged segments of
the community such as lower income, minority, and LEP populations.
Opportunities for public participation are primarily provided through public workshops and
presentations; where participants are invited to share comments and/or submit written comment to
OCPD staff. General public sessions occur through OCTC meetings; however most workshops have
occurred by request and/or through targeted outreach programming at specific transit markets. As
stated previously, over the last year, these workshops have targeted human service organizations or
groups.
OCPD contacts local synagogues and other houses of worship prior to undertaking a data collection or
public outreach session to ensure that OCPD’s activities do not interfere with religious holidays or
observances. Furthermore, OCPD staff reaches out directly to identified LEP communities to inform
them of their rights under Title VI. The following table details some of the community groups and
publications engaged through an inclusive public participation strategy.

Demographic Data
All demographic data presented was obtained from the 2010 decennial Census and 2009-2013
American Community Survey and serve as the base data for requested maps and charts.
The County has a total population of 373,902; of which 37,697 identified themselves as Black (10.1%),
68,917 identified themselves as Hispanic (18.4%), 9,483 identified themselves as Asian (2.5%), and
1,013 identified themselves as American Indian (0.3%) persons. Between 2010 and 2013, minority
population grew at a rate of 4.7% compared to that of the total population of 0.3% growth.
Median family income for Black, Hispanic, and American Indian populations was lower for the entire
population, but, for Asian population, the family income was higher. Black and Hispanic populations
both had higher rates of unemployment in 2010 than the entire population (11.3% and 8.8% versus
8.3%) and the percentage of Black and Hispanic populations who depend on public transportation to
work was much greater (Black 20.7% and Hispanic 18.4%) as compared to the percentage of the total
population (4.7%). This is a significant increase in minority population depending on public
transportation from the year 2000, where 9.2% of Black and 7.3% of the Hispanic population in the
County was dependent on public transport as a primary mode of commute to work. The County has
focused on increasing services in areas with high concentrations of minority population to provide
transit services to these customers whose exclusive means of travel to work is public transit. All of
these characteristics suggest a minority population with less economic strength and more dependence
on public transportation. There are 31 census tracts with higher concentrations of minority population
than the County average. A summary of the County tracts with higher concentrations of minority
population is provided in Table 3.

service profile maps to fulfill the requirement outlined in Chapter 5 of FTA C 4702.1B.
Systemwide Service Standards and Policies
Service standards are collected quarterly or when a major service change occurs by analyzing data
received from bus operators within the County. The data includes the results of the following transit
service indicators: vehicle loads, vehicle assignments, vehicle headways, distribution of transit
amenities and transit access.
OCPD defined a “major service change” as any service change that qualifies for a public meeting. The
following parameters are used to warrant what constitutes a major service change:
1. Change in Revenue Miles – any change that results in 25% variation in revenue miles along a
selected route;
2. Change in Route Miles – changes to routes which include addition or removal or 20% of route
miles or modification to existing route alignments which constitute 20% of total route miles.
3. Affected Ridership (by route) – if 25% or more of the existing ridership may be affected due to
the purported service change.
4. Inclusion or removal of a complete route service – if a new route is being introduced or an
existing route is being abandoned, it qualifies as a major service change.
Apart from the above thresholds that have been identified by the County as a major service change,
the County also works with the operators to identify the need for public meetings on an “as-needed”
basis. For example, cases where there are issues of local importance involved, or variations to
schedules and operating hours, are considered significant enough to warrant such public meetings.
There are fifteen bus transit operators sponsored by the County providing service in four general
categories: Commuter Bus, Local Bus (Fixed Route), Dial-a-Bus, and Paratransit services. The sixteen
transit providers are Coach USA/Shortline (Hudson Transit), Monroe Bus Corporation, Monsey Trails,
and NJ Transit operating the commuter bus service. Fixed route local bus services are operated by
Middletown Transit Corporation, Newburgh-Beacon Bus Corporation, and the Village of Kiryas Joel.
Dial-a-Bus service is provided by the Towns of Goshen and Chester, Town of Highlands, Town of
Monroe, Towns of Montgomery and Crawford, Town of Newburgh, City of Port Jervis, Town of Wallkill,
and the Town of Warwick. Paratransit services are provided by the County through its contractor Ride
Right, and the Town of Monroe.
Vehicle Load
It is the County’s policy that transit operators collect, analyze and report vehicle load factors on a
quarterly basis and submit them as part of their quarterly reporting process.
The County’s vehicle load service standards stipulate that the service providers (fixed route and
commuter services) maintain a minimum load factor 0.20 and a maximum load factor 0.90. If quarterly
reports indicate that the load factors are not within the designated range, OCPD staff will work with
Page | 14
operators in examining current operations, identify trends, and develop alternative routing and/or
service frequencies that bring service standards within compliance as needed.
On average, vehicle load profile data indicates load factors range from 0.43 to 0.66. The higher load
factors are found on the Kiryas Joel routes and Newburgh Beacon Bus which operates on two local
routes in the City of Newburgh extending into the towns of Newburgh and New Windsor. It also
operates a shuttle between Stewart International Airport, Newburgh and Metro-North’s Beacon
station. Load factors on paratransit and Dial-a-Bus services should be considered on a different scale
than fixed route transit on the basis of availability of service. Dial-a-Bus and paratransit vehicles consist
of anywhere between 6 and 28 seats per vehicle and the load factor for any given run depends on the
number of passengers making reservations, and pick-ups along the route, which differentiates it from
the load factors on fixed route transit and is a good indicator of level of service and capacity. In this
connection, it should be noted that are no system-wide capacity constraints for the Dial-a-Bus and
paratransit systems. The following table reports on the findings for the vehicle load analysis for
OCPD’s operators.

Vehicle Assignment
The County adheres to a uniform vehicle size and fleet age turnover policy, which ensures a
homogenous age profile across operators and routes. The County’s fleet is uniform in age, size, and
amenity within each operator. Nevertheless, it is the County’s policy that contracted operators rotate
fleet vehicles daily to ensure equitable distribution across all services. As such, LEP, minority, and/or
transportation-disadvantaged routes are being serviced uniformly to non-LEP, minority, and/or
transportation-disadvantaged routes.
Information regarding vehicle assignment is reviewed on-site during operator oversight meetings. If a
pattern of inadequate rotation of vehicles is identified, OCPD’s staff will address this with the operator
during the annual oversight review.
The County follows the FTA’s definition of minority transit routes and designates any route that has at
least 1/3 of its total revenue mileage in a Census tract with a percentage of minority population that
exceeds the percentage of minority population in the transit service area. Given the high incidence of
minority population in the local transit service areas, it can be seen that all of fixed route transit routes
within the County are designated as minority routes.

Vehicle Headways
OCPD obtains vehicle headway information from individual operators and monitors any headway
operating variances with the operators as part of their annual oversight process. The County also works
with the service providers to assess vehicle headway remedial actions when vehicle load standards are
not being consistently met. Any potential changes to vehicle headways will be considered for their
adverse effects on LEP, low-income and minority populations. The following table shows system-wide
service standards for maximum vehicle headways classified by type of service – commuter and local
fixed route transit bus for peak and off-peak time periods. The County does not set service standards
for minimum vehicle headways because it recognizes the existing operating minimum headway of 45
minutes is sufficient until a significant ridership demand increase dictates a need for a reduction.

Distribution of Transit Amenities
The County’s transit amenities include, but are not limited to, ADA accessible bus stops, benches,
shelters, schedules, and system maps. OCPD adopts a comprehensive, universal, and systematic
approach in installation and distribution of transit amenities. First, the County purchases the same
transit amenities regardless of where they will be located and who will be using them (i.e. – a standard
bus or bus shelter design is used throughout the entire County). Secondly, amenities are distributed to
operators and communities upon the end of their prescribed useful life. Lastly, stop locations are
distributed evenly along routes based on service demand; with shelters being located at the greatest
boarding/alighting locations, major landmarks, and major transfer points. Transit service provider input
is considered when evaluating stops and amenities.
The County also evaluates site specific improvements and the impact of such improvements on LEP
and minority populations and access to facilities and service information. For this, demographic data
and needs of local community are considered for taking an informed decision at a localized geographic
level.
A Transit Base Map is attached and marked as “Attachment G1” and identifies the location of transit
offices and facilities, including Park-N-Ride lots. Park-N-Ride lots are identified because they are not
only located at commuter bus terminal stations like Newburgh bus terminal, and along Shortline
terminals in Middletown and Monroe, but also along commuter bus routes providing increased transit
access to all populations.
Transit Access
Bus transit services in the County are provided in four general categories: Commuter Bus Service, Fixed
Route (Local Bus) Service, Dial-a-Bus Service and Complementary ADA Paratransit Service.
Commuter bus service carries a majority of the County’s transit riders providing service between the
County and New York City. Local bus services are operated in the cities of Middletown, Newburgh, and
Village of Kiryas Joel and their surrounding areas. These services can be used to make connections to
commuter services and other places within the County.
Local buses provide transit service along a fixed route and operate by a "flag down" system, which
allows a rider to access or exit the bus system at any safe location along the route. Areas in
Middletown, Monroe, Kiryas Joel, and Newburgh are served by more than one transit service.
Page | 18
Dial-a-Bus is a demand response municipal service providing curb-to-curb services that the riders can
schedule by calling 24 hours in advance. Dial-a Bus services provide transit access in some areas of the
County that are not served by fixed routes. As a result Dial-a-Bus systems fill two transit accessibility
roles: (1) transit service in non-fixed route areas and (2) act as feeders into the fixed route system.
Paratransit services are provided in accordance with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) in all
areas with local bus services, provided the origin and destination of the trip are within ¾th of a mile
from an existing fixed bus route.
Service Availability
The County defines service availability as a measure of the distribution of routes within a given transit
provider’s service area. At the County level, all the transit service areas (fixed route, dial-a-bus, and
complementary paratransit services) cover 73 percent of the total population of the County. To ensure
the highest potential transit ridership and the greatest availability of services to County residents, fixed
transit routes and amenities are concentrated in high and medium density areas. Areas of low density
are serviced by municipal Dial-a-Bus services where such services exist. As summarized in Table 8, bus
transit services in the County cover 93 percent of high-density census tracks, 75 percent of medium
density census tracks, and half of all low density census tracks.

Fares
Commuter bus fares vary by the transit provider and the length of trip. NJ Transit fares are based on
zone structure, and transfers are allowed as long as the trip falls within a single zone. Fare information
is available online or by paper schedules. One-way fares from Monsey to Manhattan or Williamsburg
are $11 and $12 to Boro Park. Local fixed route bus services charge a regular fare of $1.50 and offer
half fares for seniors and disabled people. Complementary ADA Paratransit services charge a fare of
seventy-five cents per trip. Typically, Dial-a-Bus operators charge $1.00 for regular tickets and $0.50
for seniors or disabled people, but have different limits on the age of children who are allowed to drive
free of cost when accompanied by a fare paying adult. Regular fares are higher for Towns of Goshen
and Chester ($4.00), Town of Monroe ($2.00), Town of Wallkill ($3.00), and Town of Warwick ($2.00).
On-Time Performance
OCPD is implementing an on-time performance monitoring program designed to ensure that on-time
performance standards are universally tracked and upheld by transit operators. OCPD will be defining
a vehicle as being “on-time” if it arrives at defined locations five minutes before or five minutes after
the scheduled arrival time. Buses arriving within this time frame are considered on-time.
Page | 19
On-time performance will be evaluated for each route quarterly through an on-time performance
analysis. Analysis comprises of a random selection of one run per route on a quarterly basis. During
the sampled run, an analyst will observe and record the time when vehicles arrive at scheduled timepoints. These figures will then be compared with scheduled time-points to establish the on-time
performance. Results are to be submitted in writing 30 days after the end of each quarter. In addition
to the formal on-time performance monitoring, OCPD will be asking passengers to comment on
system performance through a scheduled market surveying effort. The results from that effort will be
compared to results from the on-time performance monitoring program for comparative analysis.
Transit Security
OCPD maintains a complete roster of vehicles serving within the County. Information on this roster
includes vehicle dimensions, passenger load, condition, mileage, as well as a unique “Operator
Identification Number” for each vehicle. This number is also painted on the side and rear of the vehicle,
and can be used to track and identify vehicles when in service. The transit vehicle rosters, both fixed
route and Dial-a-Bus, are attached and marked as “Attachment H1 and H2”.
Additionally, each transit operator is required to develop a System Safety and Security Preparedness
Plan as required by the State Department of Transportation.
Lastly, the following summarizes the current safety and security features utilized and paid for by each
of the transit properties operating within the County:

Town of Highlands Dial-A-Bus: Bus are parked in a fenced in area at a secure municipal
maintenance facility.

Town of Monroe Dial-A-Bus: Buses are parked in a fenced in area at a secure municipal
building.

Town of Newburgh Dial-A-Bus: Buses parked at a secure municipal maintenance facility.

Town of Wallkill Dial-A-Bus: Buses are parked at a secure municipal building complex, which
includes the Police Department, 24 hour video surveillance of the buses, as well as the
maintenance facilities. Additionally, all in services vehicle have on-board GPS technologies
and tracking software.

Town of Warwick Dial-A-Bus: Buses are parked at a secure municipal complex, which houses
the Police Department and the maintenance facilities.

Middletown Transit: Buses are parked inside a secure garage with a security system that is

Service and Fare Changes
Pursuant to Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations, the OCPD has established the following
written procedures for public outreach when fare increases and/or major service reductions, as defined
above (Systemwide Service Standards and Policies), are proposed by transit operators receiving
federal assistance.
1. Transit providers are required to submit written documentation to the Commissioner of OCPD
detailing the intent, reasoning, and potential impacts associated with a fare increase and/or
major service reduction.
2. Upon receipt of this notification OCPD staff will conduct a service and fare equity analysis
(following FTA’s Fare and Service Equity Guidance documentation) to determine whether the
proposed changes will have a discriminatory impact. The findings from the analysis will be sent
to the Regional Civil Rights Officer (RCRO) and the soliciting transit provider.
a. If the requested changes are acceptable and/or non-discriminatory, OCPD staff will
submit a letter approving the requested changes and the transit operator can begin the
formal public outreach process.
b. If the requested changes are found to be unacceptable and/or discriminatory, OCPD
staff will submit a letter denying approval and recommend fare and/or service changes
that are acceptable. The transit provider will then be required to begin the process
again by re-submitting a letter of intent to the Commissioner of OCPD.
3. A public meeting shall be scheduled to occur no sooner than 30 days upon the receipt of an
approval letter from OCPD staff. The public meeting announcement will be published as a
legal notice in:
a. One (1) of the “official county newspapers”(contact OCPD staff for a listing); and in
addition
b. One (1) local newspaper with circulation in the area(s) being affected by the proposed
fare increases and/or major service reductions.
All legal notices shall be posted at least 20 days prior to the public meeting date. Additionally,
the operator should inform the public (to its best ability) through media coverage, sign
postings on all buses, in municipal halls, libraries, key bus shelters and on its website (if
available).
4. The transit provider is responsible for making a presentation at the public meeting explaining
the proposal and the reasoning behind the intended changes. Minutes of the meeting will be
maintained and recorded, and statements from the public will be entered into a formal record
and summarized.
5. All public meeting/comment materials and a memorandum outlining the proposed fare
increases and/or major service reductions shall be submitted to the Commissioner of OCPD no
more than 30 days after the public hearing is held.
Page | 21
6. Transit providers are required to notify the State Department of Transportation, Passenger
Transportation Division of the intended changes in writing no later than 14 days after
submitting notice (Item Number 5) to the Commissioner of OCPD.
7. Transit providers are responsible for submitting a public announcement of the intended fare
increases and/or major service reductions to local newspapers in the form of a press release.
Public notification must be distributed and posted through the same outlets as the legal notice
(Item Number 3). Fare increases and/or major service reductions shall not go into effect until at
least 30 days have lapsed following the publication of the public announcement.
Disparate Impact Policy
The County conducts an equity analysis whenever there is a proposal for fare change and/or a major
service change. One objective of the analysis is to assess the effects of the proposed service and/or
fare change and determine if the change would result in a disparate impact on the basis of race, color,
or national origin. Service equity analyses are conducted to determine impact of changes on impacted
population and specific target groups (low-income, minority and LEP populations).
When performing an equity analysis, the County must analyze how the proposed action would
impact minority populations as compared to non-minority populations. In the event the proposed
action has a negative impact that affects minorities more than non-minorities with a disparity that
exceeds the adopted Disparate Impact Threshold, or that benefits non-minorities more than
minorities with a disparity that exceeds the adopted Disparate Impact Threshold, the County
must evaluate whether there is an alternative that has a more equitable impact. Otherwise, the
County must take measures to mitigate the impact of the proposed action on the affected minority
population and demonstrate that a legitimate business purpose cannot otherwise be
accomplished and that the proposed change is the least discriminatory alternative.
Disparate impact/disproportionate burden thresholds are defined as being statistically significant in
disparity and presented as a statistical percentage of impacts borne by minority populations compared
to impacts borne by non- minority populations. These impact thresholds are applied uniformly. The
County maintains the following Disparate Impact Thresholds:

Major service change - the adverse impacts affecting minorities or the benefits to nonminorities of a major service change shall not exceed 20 percent based on the cumulative
impact of the proposed major service changes.

Proposed fare adjustment - the adverse impacts affecting minorities or the benefits to nonminorities of a fare change shall not exceed 10 percent based on the cumulative impact of
the proposed fare changes.
Transit Service Monitoring
OCPD’s monitoring program examines how well Transit Orange services meet the needs of the
County’s residents, specifically those of minorities, people of lower incomes and LEP persons, to
ensure that equitable transit services are provided to all segments of the service area’s population.
OCPD will be conducting a Transit Service Analysis and Monitoring Program once every three years onboard all bus routes funded by the County, during different parts of the service schedule day (morning
Page | 22
period, evening period, late night, for example) in order to collect a sample of data that represents
various sub-populations of transit ridership. The County plans on conducting a countywide telephone
survey and on board ridership survey in FY 2016 and FY 2017, wherein it plans to do oversampling of
communities where LEP populations are located. A countywide telephone survey will provide a broad
understanding of transportation needs, and a complementary on-board survey of existing users, with
questions about how the transit needs of riders are being met by the services. These efforts will be
done in a bilingual fashion, targeting sections of the LEP population.
OCPD will observe how well the transit services meet the Department’s standards and policies
regarding equal and fair treatment for all users. In instances where abuses or inequities are observed,
OCPD will develop a plan to address and correct those issues. For example, OCPD representatives
conducting the monitoring program will look for service schedules, bulletins, legal notices and other
information posted at transit stations and on-board buses to make sure they are available and visible in
English and Spanish. Where those materials are not present, OCPD will take appropriate action to
make them available for transit users.
In addition, the County’s operator oversight program monitors the following service standards and
policies as part of their operator oversight program. Site visits, and periodic reports from the operators
are monitored to check for compliance with the system-wide and mode-specific standards. The County
Legislature’s approval of the Title VI plan signifies approval of this constituent service monitoring
analysis.

As the demographics of the County population continue to change over time, OCPD is responsible for
monitoring changes in the size, composition, and location of transit-dependent and disadvantaged
populations within the service area. To accommodate the needs of these populations arising out of
changes to the demographic profile might require modifications to transit routing and scheduling of
existing services and in some cases starting new services.
While transit operators are responsible for engaging members of affected communities due to
potential service changes like re-routing of existing transit routes and changes to schedules, or
introduction of a new service, the County will continue to maintain an overall understanding of
community needs at the county level, while demonstrating its emphasis on coordination and linkages
between transit services provided between communities throughout the County.

Orange County functions as a coordinating agency for transit service providers receiving federal funding
in the County using the name “Transit Orange” for identifying individual or coordinated transit services in
the County. Orange County provides transit coordination services and administers Federal and State
transit funding programs; the County is a Designated Recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
funding for transit capital projects and operation and maintenance expenses and State Transportation
Operating Assistance (STOA) program. Orange County passes through this state funding to various transit
operators in the county. Although the Orange County Planning Department does not directly operate any
transit services in Orange County, its responsibility for administering Federal and state funding places the
department in an ideal role to coordinate planning and management of transit services throughout the
County. The County uses its operator oversight program to review outreach programs and activities of
transit operators, and data collected by them to ascertain the effectiveness of their activities. It also uses
the operator oversight program to mandate compliance to language assistance and accessibility policies
by checking for adherence of transit operators.
This document has been prepared to conform to the Limited English Proficiency (LEP) requirements
identified In the document titled, “Implementing the Department of Transportation’s Policy Guidance
Concerning Recipients’ Responsibilities to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons – A Handbook for
Public Transportation Providers,” which was released by the Federal Transit Administration Office of Civil
Rights on April 13, 2007.
Orange County Planning Department followed the four-factor framework for conducting an LEP needs
assessment as laid out in Section V of the DOT LEP Guidance and “Implementing the Department of
Transportation’s Policy Guidance Concerning Recipients’ Responsibilities to Limited English Proficient
(LEP) Persons - A Handbook for Public Transportation Providers”. This assisted in determining an
appropriate mix of language assistance and prepares language assistance implementation plans that are
consistent with the DOT LEP Guidance.
Factor 1: The Number and Proportion of LEP Persons
Served or Encountered in the Eligible Service Population.
All fifteen transit providers in the County operate in various communities spread across most of the
County, while some of their services extend beyond the County. For the purpose of this document, the
study area includes all of Orange County.
Geographic Distribution of Total Population with Limited English Proficiency
According to the 2009-2013 American Community Survey data, in 2013, Orange County had a total
population of 373,902, of which 348,016 were individuals age 5 years and older. Of this population, 76.6
percent speak only English, while the remaining 23.4 percent speak other languages, either in addition to
or instead of English, which includes 13.4 percent of individuals age 5 years or older who speak Spanish or
Spanish Creole, 7.7 percent speak Indo-European languages, 1.4 percent speak Asian and Pacific Island
-2-
languages, while the remaining 1 percent speak other languages as shown in Figure 1. LEP population is
characterized as people who speak a language other than English at home, and speak English less than
“very well”. Approximately 8.9 percent of Orange County’s total population speak English less than “very
well,” which is lower than the 13 percent of New York State’s total population who speak English less
than “very well.”

Orange County contains 79 census tracts since the 2010 decennial census, of which 19 contain LEP
populations above the County average. These 19 tracts contained 20,094 LEP residents in 2013, or 65
percent of the County’s LEP residents. The 19 census tracts containing LEP populations above the
County average are located in three major areas. The largest cluster of LEP tracts is in the Middletown,
Washington Heights and Scotchtown area. Though the smallest cluster by number of census tracts is in
the Monroe-Kiryas Joel-Harriman area of the County, it has the highest concentration of LEP population
with an average LEP population over 50 percent of the total population across the cluster. The other
remaining cluster is made up of five census tracts in the Newburgh area. Figure 2 illustrates the
countywide distribution of LEP populations.

Distribution of Population with Limited English Proficiency by Language or
Language Group
Much like New York State overall, the largest share of the LEP population in Orange County speak
Spanish as their primary language. Statewide, 50 percent of LEP populations age 5 and older are
Spanish-speaking, which is incidentally the same share of LEP population in Orange County, age 5 and
older who speak Spanish as their primary language. This group represents 8.9 percent of the County’s
total population age 5 and older.
Spanish
With the exception of census tracts located in Kiryas Joel and surrounding areas of Monroe, all of the
high-LEP census tracts contain a higher percentage of Spanish-speaking LEP persons than the County
average. The greatest concentrations of Spanish-speaking LEP persons in the County (over 10 percent of
the total population age 5 and older), are concentrated in and around Middletown, New Windsor, and
Newburgh. The census tracts which contain the highest concentration of Spanish-speaking LEP persons
are served by Middletown Transit Corporation, Newburgh Beacon Bus, and a section of the Main Line
local transit service. LEP populations in these tracts are as high as 32 percent of the population age 5 and
older. Spanish-speakers compose over 90 percent of the LEP population in areas of Middletown and
Newburgh.
Indo-European Languages
LEP persons who speak Indo-European languages other than English or Spanish are heavily concentrated
in the Village of Kiryas Joel and Monroe areas. In the four census tracts that make up these communities,
LEP persons who speak “other Indo-European” languages are over 90 percent of the LEP population.
Asian and Pacific Languages
LEP persons who speak Asian and Pacific languages make up a large share of the LEP population in
Newburgh, Port Jervis, Highland Falls, and Tuxedo. However, the percentage of LEP population
speaking Asian and Pacific languages among population age 5 and older ranged between 1.2 percent and
3 percent in these areas. While there are only four census tracts that have a concentration of Asian and
Pacific language speaking LEP population more than 100 people, the highest concentrations are located
in Mount Hope, Hamptonburgh, New Windsor, Vails Gate, Newburgh, and Harriman.
Other Languages
The primary concentrations of LEP persons who speak languages other than Spanish, other IndoEuropean languages, or Asian and Pacific languages are located in Middletown and Kiryas Joel. Some
residents in Kiryas Joel and Monroe speak Hebrew.
LEP Population Concentrations and Transit Service
The concentrations of population with Limited English Proficiency are predominantly located in three
clusters—Middletown, Newburgh, Kiryas Joel, Monroe, and Harriman. These areas are served by local
bus routes like the Main Line, Middletown Transit Corporation, Newburgh Beacon Bus, and the Village of
Kiryas Joel service. They are also served by Coach USA/Shortline and Monroe Bus Corporation.

Middletown Transit Corporation runs four transit service routes in the area of the largest cluster of highLEP census tracts. MTA Metro North line runs connecting two of the top three LEP clusters. Maps
showing overlay of commuter and local fixed route transit services, Dial-A-Bus service areas, and
paratransit service area maps relative to the LEP population are shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5.

Factor 2: The Frequency with Which LEP Individuals Come
into Contact with your programs, activities, and services
Orange County Planning Department performs multi-pronged approach to outreach activities to assess
the frequency with which LEP population come into contact to request service assistance. They include
the following:

LEP Service Log: Orange County Planning Department maintains an LEP Service Log for language
assistance. This helps the County to keep track of frequency of questions that the staff receives
regarding language services and also the various languages in which the questions are received. This
log supplements the Complaint log in enabling the County staff to track the frequency in which LEP
individuals come into touch with programs, activities and services. The Log keeps track of the
following details:
o
o
o
o
o
o
Date of contact
Language service requested
Call taker/Contact staff
Concerned service/program area
Service request in detail
Action taken or manner in which the question was addressed
This log helps track the frequency of LEP service contact by date and breaks it down further by
language spoken, and by which service or program requested. This will help streamline resources
based on language assistance by languages in which the services are sought frequently and also in
identifying the types of services which need LEP language assistance more frequently than others.
Operators also keep track of recurring requests for a particular service or category, to be able to
identify services that are frequently sought by customers.

OCTC Meetings: OCTC’s meetings are open to the public and cover all aspects of transportation
planning processes including public transportation services. A complete list of meetings that occurred
over the last three years for OCTC is available within the Title VI Plan. LEP contact made during OCTC
meetings is recorded in the LEP Service along with service requests over phone or those made in
person at the County office.

Orange County Transit Workshops: Orange County Planning Department will be conducting an
annual transit workshop which provides opportunities to get people to use services, travel training,
attract new ridership, and answer service related questions. It is developed as a public outreach
program with 1 to 3 meetings conducted annually. A pre-outreach effort is conducted to LEP
population through community organizations and media. Language assistance sought through these
workshops will be documented in the LEP Service Log and processed through the relevant program
areas or departments.
p a g e | 11

Service Operator Outreach: As part of a continued operator outreach, the County maintains
consistent communication with local partners and thereby in turn with the transit riders by way of
engaging community organizations and business community to understand the needs of LEP
population. For example, transit operators regularly reach out to and speak to leaders of community
organizations and managers of businesses frequented by LEP populations to understand how they
may be able to improve accessibility to services and/or improve services to meet community needs
more effectively. Information collected from these outreach efforts are discussed with Orange County
planning staff during the quarterly operator oversight meetings. There have been no requests for
language assistance received by any of the operators. Requests for scheduling trips have also been
made in English and not the primary language of customers, in case of population whose language
spoken at home is not English.
Factor 3: The Importance to LEP Persons of Your Program,
Activities and Services
Orange County recognizes that providing public transportation access to LEP persons is critical and that an
inability to effectively access and use public transportation may adversely affect Orange County residence
ability to access to employment, education, and obtain health care.
Orange County provides a number of services that are important to an LEP person’s ability to successfully
access information .Among services that are of importance to LEP populations are:

Language Assistance: Orange County Department of Planning utilizes the services of voluntary
translators from across different departments in the County administration, who are fluent in a
number of languages. Providing language assistance is typically the first interaction the Department
has formally with LEP persons. As such, the Department understands the importance of this service
and values it as the first point of contact to current and new customers.

Scheduling: Orange County makes schedules available in a bi-lingual format. Service operators also
provide scheduling information in areas of LEP concentrations other than English and Spanish
through leveraging community groups.

New Ridership Attraction: New riders from the LEP population are oriented towards using the
system effectively for their mobility needs by organizing service operator outreach programs and
transit workshops.

Transit Information Relay: Outreach activities including public meetings which are organized due to
major service changes (including fare increases and route changes) are instrumental in
communication of transit information relay to LEP population, since they are among the potential
affected parties due to service changes by nature of their effect on mobility.

Travel Training: during transit workshops or upon request Orange County staff will facilitate travel
training programs to any traveler (including LEP persons or populations) in order to educate them on
available services, travel safety, transfers, system navigation, and traveling independently within the
system in general.
p a g e | 12
All Transit Orange service documentation is accessible to LEP population and transit operators are developing
bi-lingual schedule and service information (Kiryas Joel, being unique due to its language distribution has
information in English, Spanish, and Yiddish). In addition, the County also provides pro-active training in the
area of transit for other departments who may be in contact with LEP populations for other community need,
such as health and human services, to facilitate knowledge transfer to LEP populations.
In addition to the above services, Orange County plans on conducting a countywide telephone survey and on
board ridership survey in 2015 or 2016, where-in it plans to do oversampling of communities where LEP
populations are located. This countywide transportation transit survey will be a telephone survey that will
get broad understanding of transportation needs and then a complementary on board survey of existing
users. These efforts will be done in bilingual fashion targeting sections of the LEP population.
Factor 4: The Resources Available to the Recipient and
Costs
Orange County allots resources based on the demand for language assistance services and is constantly
exploring the need for cost-effective means of delivering these services within the constraints of available
resources. As part of Orange County’s system programming, the County provides language assistance at no
additional cost.

The following sections detail the resources and efforts being put forth by Orange County Planning
Department to determine if language assistance services provide most needed assistance to the greatest
number of LEP persons within the limits of its resources
Providing Language Assistance for Relevant Programs, Activities, and Services
The Orange County Department of Planning utilizes the services of voluntary translators from across different
departments in the County administration, who are fluent in a number of languages including Spanish,
French, Egyptian, Italian, Polish, Hungarian, Hindi, and Talagog. The County is actively looking to train a
Spanish speaking person in the County to take over on-call responsibilities for providing transit rider
information. Due to the decentralized nature of transit services among the sixteen different transit operators
in the County, transit operators have a good understanding of the local community requirements in
distributing transit service information. The County however has an overall understanding of needs of
communities throughout the Country and the linkages between different communities.
Orange County maintains a list of names and telephone numbers of these voluntary translators who work in
various departments of the County government and are capable of interpreting a wide variety of languages.
This list is available to County employees and is organized by language spoken so that employees may quickly
reference speakers of a certain language when necessary, and can direct calls and other forms of customer
correspondence to County employees who can communicate with and assist residents.
The County is researching telephonic interpretation companies including Language Line, CTS LanguageLink
and Cyracom, to assist LEP residents contacting the County via telephone for transit assistance and/or
information. The County is also researching online translation services to ascertain the website with the
largest word-bank and most accurate and natural translation. Specific programs being researched include
FreeTranslation.com, Dictionary.com, PROMT, Babylon, Bing Translator and Google Translate. The County
will evaluate the cost effectiveness of language assistance measures should the program expand significantly
beyond its current form in coming years.
OCDP has not received any language assistance requests since the last Limited English Plan submission.
In addition to providing language assistance when requested, all Orange County transit vehicles are equipped
with English and Spanish signage informing passengers of Orange County and its operators’ commitment to
providing nondiscriminatory service and passengers’ rights under Title VI.
Training Orange County Staff
Orange County Department of Planning is currently examining opportunities to expand their ability to access
LEP populations, specifically by researching translation and interpretation services. Orange County currently
utilizes the services of voluntary translators and interpreters who work in different departments throughout
the County administration. They translate and interpret Spanish, French, Egyptian, Italian, Polish, Hungarian,
Hindi and Tagalog and are seeking a Spanish-speaker to assume on-call responsibilities for providing transit
information. These government employees, who fulfill translation and interpretation services on a voluntary
basis, in addition to their primary roles and responsibilities, are documented on a list, with contact
information, for easy access when necessary. All employees have this list and reach out to the appropriate
person, when the language is known, to assist residents with their needs. Additionally, all County personnel,
p a g e | 14
including transit staff, are trained in the operation in the voluntary interpreter and translator programs and
how to best assist clients who are in need of language support.
County staff are required to take part in the County’s Orientation Program which reviews overall County
policies and a separate half-day sexual harassment and discrimination awareness/training program. Also, all
discrimination policies are posted within OCDP offices. In addition, new OCDP staff meets with the Transit
Coordinator to review and become familiar with the County’s demographic profiles, available transit services,
and the policies and procedures outlined in the Title VI report. Additionally, OCDP staff are educated on the
importance of reaching out and providing transit information to the different economic and ethnic
populations within Orange County. In order to meet this objective, all personnel are trained in how the
County’s voluntary translator program operates and how to assist individuals who contact the Department in
need of language assistance
Transit Operators require drivers and office staff to successfully complete a new employee orientation
program. Within these programs transit operator managers review transit safety, ADA compliance,
sensitivity training, and sexual harassment and discrimination training. Within the sexual harassment and
discrimination training, transit operators make drivers and staff aware of the populations their transit system
serve, and the protocols for assisting transit-dependent LEP persons in using the transit system and having
questions, comments, or complaints addressed. Additionally, transit operator personnel are made aware of
the County’s language assistance program.
Providing Notice to LEP Persons
The Orange County Department of Planning and its sub-recipients post the County’s Title VI Policy Statement
through various media outlets, including the Department’s transit website – www.transitorange.info, flyers
and postings on buses and in main transportation facilities. Orange County provides notice of transit services
available throughout the County through Transit Orange transit service guides. Transit guides are printed in
both English and Spanish as shown in Figure 6, and are distributed to all transit facilities, operators,
municipalities, and government offices.
p a g e | 15
Figure 6: Orange County Transit Orange Service Guides – English & Spanish Covers
In addition, all Orange County transit vehicles are equipped with English and Spanish signage informing
passengers of Orange County and its sub-recipients’ commitment to providing nondiscriminatory service and
passengers’ rights under Title VI. Moreover, bi-lingual signage (Figure 7) informing passengers of how to
contact Orange County with any comments or complaints are posted on-board vehicles and in public facilities.
The County’s formal complaint procedures are in place to allow individuals to submit grievances, have the
complaint investigated by the Orange County Planning staff, and provide resolution to the grievance. All
grievances are tracked within the Title VI Complaint Log and all information and documentation associated
with each complaint is cataloged in the log as well.
p a g e | 16
Figure 7: On-Board Title VI Notification Signage – English & Spanish
Besides providing translated outreach materials, Orange County Planning staff actively engage other County
agencies who interact with minority, low-income, and LEP populations (such as the Work Force Investment
Board, the Employment & Training Administration, and the Office of the Aging) to inform agency staff of
available transit service to their consumers, to have a better understanding of their consumers’ transportation
needs (such as access to popular employment destinations, house facilities, and shopping locations) as well as
perception of the current transit system. Additionally, in FY 2015 or early FY 2016 Orange County is planning
on administering a telephone and on-board transit survey to identify current and non-user transit needs. As
part of this effort, oversampling is programmed to occurring within transit dense communities in which
minority, low-income, and LEP populations have been identified. Surveying efforts will be conducted with
LEP language considerations.
As part of Orange County Operator Oversight Program, Orange County Planning staff meet with transit
operators on a regular basis. As part of each operators annual review, Orange County staff reviews the
current Title VI Plan, each operators LEP obligation, and discusses how each operator is pro-actively reaching
out to minority, low-income, and LEP populations residing within their service areas to increase transit
awareness and grown ridership.
All planning activities and notices which are advertised to the press are shared with news sources that serve a
variety of Orange County’s LEP communities. Such publications include, English language publications such
as official newspapers like The Sentinel, Vails Gate, Warwick Advertiser Photo News, Chester, News of the
Highlands, Cornwall, Time Community Newspapers, Newburgh, and Hudson Valley Press, Newburgh. The
County legislative branch also publishes notices in the Times Herald Record, though it is not an official
newspaper.
Lastly, Orange County Planning Department works intensively with the Orange County Transportation
Council (OCTC) in providing public notice and participation opportunities to all members of the community.
The following outlines the public participation strategy utilized by OCTC and adopted by Orange County
Planning Department.
p a g e | 17
General Public Participation Activities:
The OCTC Executive and Technical Committees and staff are committed to expanding outreach efforts to
various individuals and public interest groups in the region. This is achieved through the following process.
1. The MPO Public Information mailing list will be maintained by the Orange County Department of
Planning and Development and updated regularly by OCTC staff agencies. The OCTC Staff will
continue its efforts to identify and include citizens and groups that are traditionally under served by
the transportation system.
2. Any person or agency requesting information or expressing an interest in receiving announcements
will automatically be added to the list. The individuals and groups on the mailing list will be
periodically surveyed to determine their continued interest in the OCTC and its activities.
3. OCTC staff will notify the mailing list and the area media outlets about any public involvement
activity 14 calendar days prior to the event. The notice will include date, time, location, and purpose
or topic of the meeting. A public comment period will extend for an additional 7 calendar days after
the public involvement activity.
4. A synopsis of the written or verbal comments resulting from this notification, and the proposed
responses will be prepared by the Orange County Department of Planning and Development and will
be available upon request.
5. Documentation and synopsis of all public OCTC staff meetings will be prepared and retained by the
Orange County Department of Planning and Development. Copies will be available upon request.
6. Technical and policy information and data will be available from the two OCTC Staff agencies, the
Orange County Department of Planning and Development and the New York State Department of
Transportation - Region 8. Data requests of significant size will be made available within a reasonable
period of time.
7. Transportation Providers such as Rail-Passenger/Freight, Taxi, Fleets-School Bus/Ambulates,
Interstate Bus, Fixed Bus, Dial-A-Bus, Auto Industry, Airplane-Passenger/Freight, Truckers-Freight
will be invited and will be part of the OCTC Technical Committee.
Public Participation at OCTC Executive Committee Meetings:
The following procedures are followed at all OCTC Executive Committee meetings.
1. All persons attending an OCTC Executive Committee meeting, including OCTC members and the
general public, will be asked to record their name, address, and the interest or group they represent.
2. The general public will be given the opportunity to speak at each OCTC Executive Committee meeting
under the public participation section of the agenda on any item pertinent to the agenda or the
transportation planning process. This does not preclude the general public from commenting on any
agenda item as it is being discussed, time permitting.
p a g e | 18
3. The Chairperson shall be the official spokesperson for the Council to inform the public of the work of
the transportation planning program, and to maintain good relations with the press and media. Upon
request, any Council member can make a public statement or issue a press release on behalf of their
organization. Any public statement issued on behalf of the OCTC must receive prior approval by the
Council.
Review Period for Changes in Public Participation Process:
1. The general public will have 45 calendar days to review and comment on these OCTC Public
Participation Procedures through a public notice and direct mailing of the existing OCTC Public
Information mailing list. Comments from the public will be documented and acted upon as
appropriate with the concurrence of the OCTC voting members.
2. There will be a periodic review of the OCTC Public Participation Procedures to address changes that
may, from time to time, occur.
3. All subsequent changes to the Public Participation Procedures will follow the same 45 calendar day
public review process noted above.
Monitoring and Updating the Plan
While Orange County Planning Department brings to bear, its greatest capabilities to assist LEP persons who
speak various languages there may be instances when activities will necessitate the provision of information
and notices in additional languages. Orange County will perform a annual review of LEP transit analysis from
the data provided by the transit operators as a part of their Federal Transit Administration (FTA) National
Transit Database (NTD) reporting requirements and will continue to perform and submit an equity analysis for
every major service change and/or fare modification enacted by any transit operator.
Orange County policy stipulates that any significant proposed service change or fare modification by a transit
operator must first notify the County; which then models the service change (for example, a route change or
fare increase) and overlays it using GIS to ensure that a disproportionate share of LEP population are not
being affected by the service change or fare modification.
Along with this, an intent of service change is provided to the County before providing notification to the
general public about any service change and should go through the screening procedure explained above to
make sure that LEP population is not being adversely affected due to these changes. The County will direct
transit providers to take corrective action in case of any disparities due to the effects of service changes on
LEP population. This analysis is conducted for each significant proposed service change or fare modification
by a transit operator.
Additionally, OCDP is planning on conducting a Transit Service Analysis and Monitoring Program once every
three (3) years on-board all bus routes operated on the Department’s behalf, during different parts of the
service schedule day (morning period, evening period, late night, for example) in order to collect a sample of
data that represents various sub-populations of transit ridership. A major component of this analysis will
include the examination of the current transit routing/service distribution in relation to a results from a
surveying program, with are enhanced survey effort targeting populations in minority and LEP census tracks.
Through this analysis OCDP will be able to observe how well the transit services are meeting the
p a g e | 19
Department’s standards and policies regarding equal and fair treatment for all users and identify
opportunities to enhance service. In instances where abuses, inequities, or underserved populations are
observed, OCDP will develop a plan to address and correct those issues with that operator. For example,
OCDP representatives conducting the monitoring program will look for service schedules, bulletins, legal
notices and other information posted at transit stations and on-board buses to make sure they are available
and visible in English and Spanish. Where those materials are not present, OCDP will take appropriate action
to make them available for transit users. In addition, OCDP will continue to work with their contracted
consultant team to assist Department staff in working with transit operators in implementing the Transit
Service Analysis and Monitoring Program.
In addition to the surveying effort and technical analysis associated with a countywide transit and paratransit
service planning study, the Transit Service Analysis and Monitoring Program will continue to perform
quarterly on-site visits with transit operators and maintains four primary functions in relation to monitoring
Title VI and LEP regularly; they include:
1. Review of each transit operators Title VI Complaint Log. If any complaints have been reported and/or
are in the complaint log, OCDP staff will:
a. Examine the documentation associated with the complaint;
b. Review the findings and resolution of the complaint; and
c. Follow up on any previous complaints to ensure agreed upon resolutions are being have been
or are being performed.
2. Review pro-active outreach activities for each transit operator.
3. Work with operators in reviewing findings from current Title VI and LEP plans and analysis in
conjunction with findings from the “road” and community to establish actionable opportunities that
enhance LEP and minority usage of transit services.
4. Update the Title VI and LEP Plan to include findings and opportunities identified through the
monitoring program.

WELCOME
to the Orange County Transit Guide
Did you know that thousands of people use transit in Orange County
every day to get to work, the doctor, to go shopping, or just to get
from here to there? There are many types of transit services in Orange
County including commuter bus service, which leaves from the many
Park & Ride lots throughout the county to New York City and the
surrounding area. There is commuter train service to the New York
City area via the Metro-North Port Jervis Line, which runs through the
heart of the county. Both bus and ferry service are available from
Newburgh to the Beacon Train Station on the Metro-North Hudson
Line. In the City of Middletown, City of Newburgh and in the Village of
Kiryas Joel we have local bus service with complementary Paratransit
service and a number of municipalities offer Dial-A-Bus service.
Orange County sponsors 16 individual transit operators providing
service in four general categories: Commuter Bus, Local Bus (Fixed
Route), Dial-A-Bus, and Paratransit services. Orange County does
not have a central countywide transit operator; however, through the
work of the Orange County Planning Department, the services of the
individual operators are coordinated. We now use the name “Transit
Orange” to identify the individual and coordinated transit services in
and around Orange County.

Commuter Bus Service
These services carry the majority
of the county’s transit riders.
Commuter Bus services typically
provide service between Orange
County and New York City. However,
some relatively minor services to
adjacent counties fall into this
category. Coach USA/ShortLine, an
intercity carrier, provides significant
local service throughout the county,
but not to all communities.
Regularly Scheduled Local Bus
Service (Fixed Route)
Local bus services, larger buses
that run regular schedules on set
routes, are operated in and around
the Cities of Middletown and
Newburgh, as well as the Village of
Kiryas Joel. In addition to the local
area, this service can be used to
make connections to other localities
in and around Orange County and
to commuter services.

Dial-A-Bus Service
Paratransit Service
Dial-A-Bus is a service that is
open-to-the-public where you are
required to call ahead of time to
reserve a ride on the bus. You must
call at least 24 hours in advance
but typically you need to call further
ahead because the service is on a
first-come, first-served basis and
the schedule can fill up quickly. This
is not a taxi service where you are
picked up at your door at whatever
time you arrange with the cab company. With Dial-A-Bus, the many
requests for rides are accommodated
as best as possible and riders are
picked up and dropped off at the
curb (curb-to-curb service). The
schedule changes daily and specific
pick up and drop off times cannot
be guaranteed. You should allow
extra travel time since other passengers will likely be picked up or
dropped off during your trip.
Mandated by the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990,
Paratransit services are provided in
all areas with local bus services
(fixed route) for people who can’t
use the local bus system due to their
disability. Similar to Dial-A-Bus in
that you need to reserve a ride by
calling at least a day in advance,
Paratransit service will only be provided for those individuals whose
trips begin and end within 3/4 of a
mile of an existing local fixed route
bus line. Paratransit vehicles are
wheelchair lift-equipped and service
is provided curb-to-curb. To qualify
to use this service you must obtain a
valid ADA Paratransit Identification
Card issued by Orange County.
Please note that service will only
be provided within the 3/4 of a mile
of an existing local fixed route
bus line. As of January 1996 the
local bus systems that qualify for
Paratransit service are those
operated by Middletown Transit
Corp., Newburgh-Beacon Bus Corp.,
and the Village of Kiryas Joel.
For more information and to receive
an application, call the Orange
County Department of Planning
at 845-615-3850.

Even though bus schedules may look different, the basics of reading a schedule and planning your
trip are similar from one bus operator to another. As an example of how to read a schedule we’ll use
the Coach USA/ShortLine Orange County– New York City timetable.
The schedule cover looks like this.
The information includes:
1
1
Route numbers,
2
Locations served,
3
Operator contact information,
4
And date the timetable becomes effective.

When you open up the schedule this is what you’ll see (example below). The whole timetable is
not shown here, just a small section is given as an example of how to read a schedule.
As example, traveling from the Newburgh Terminal to Woodbury Common (Bus Shelter) on a
Monday, arriving at around noon, here is how you would read the schedule and plan your trip:
1
First make sure you are reading the correct schedule. On the top of the schedule the direction
of travel and days of operation are listed. Make sure you are reading the “Orange County &
Rockland County To New York Service” side of the schedule (Table 2).
2
Find “Newburgh (Terminal– Park & Ride, Rt. 17K)” and
3
Woodbury Common, NY (Bus Shelter) on the left side of the schedule.
4
Look across the Woodbury Common, NY row and find the time closest to the time you want
to get to there (at 12 noon). The time listed in the schedule is 12:06 p.m.— that’s pretty close!
5
Now, read up this column until you find the Newburgh, NY row and you’ll see the time the bus
leaves Newburgh to get to Woodbury Common. The time listed is 11:30 a.m.
6
Plan to be at this stop at least 5 to 10 minutes before the departure time listed on the
timetable. You should be waiting at the bus stop at 11:20 a.m.
Plan your trip according to what time you want to leave and the time you need to get to your
destination. Just make sure you’re reading the correct schedule, and you’ll be on your way!

PASSENGER RAIL SERVICE
MTA METRO-NORTH RAILROAD
Orange County is served by MTA Metro-North Railroad's Port
Jervis Line through a service contract with New Jersey Transit
(NJT) and by the Metro-North Hudson Line on the east side
of the river.
The Port Jervis Line service currently runs from
seven stations in Orange County to Hoboken and the Secaucus
Transfer Station (as well as other rail station stops in New
Jersey). From the new station in Secaucus, passengers may connect with other New Jersey Transit service to NY Penn Station
in midtown Manhattan (or to other NJT services, including a
connection for Amtrak service at Newark Penn Station). Port
Jervis Line passengers may also connect with the Port Authority
Trans-Hudson (PATH) service or NY Waterway ferry service in
Hoboken for access to lower Manhattan.
The Pascack Valley Line on the west side of the Hudson
River also provides service to Manhattan via Hoboken or
Secaucus. Some Orange County residents access this service
at the Spring Valley Station in Rockland County.
Metro-North's Hudson Line service operates between
Poughkeepsie and Grand Central Terminal on the east side of
mid-town Manhattan. The principal Hudson Line station for
most Orange County residents is in Beacon, directly across the
Newburgh Beacon Bridge. The station is also easily accessible
by ferry in the peak period from the Newburgh waterfront and
by bus shuttle from the Park & Ride facility on Route 17K
(parking is free in both locations). Hudson Line service is more
frequent and more direct to mid-town as compared to the Port
Jervis Line. [The Peekskill or Croton-Harmon stations can also
be readily accessed via the Bear Mountain Bridge.]
Aiport Shuttle: The Newburgh Beacon Shuttle currently also provides a direct transit
link between the Hudson Line station at Beacon with the passenger terminal at Stewart
International Airport.
Times Herald-Record
WHICH RAIL LINE SHOULD I TAKE?
After reading about Metro-North’s Hudson Line service and the Port Jervis Line
service you may be wondering which rail line to take to
New York City. That may depend on where you plan on
going in Manhattan. If you are going to Midtown or the
East Side of Manhattan it may make sense to ride the
Hudson Line. If you are going to the West Side, lower
Manhattan or the financial district, it may make sense
to use the Port Jervis Line.

Stations are located at: Harriman, Salisbury
Mills/Cornwall, Campbell Hall, Middletown,
Otisville, and Port Jervis. There is also extremely
limited weekday daily parking at Beacon on the
Hudson Line. Most of these stations have recently
been expanded and improved through the efforts
of MTA Metro-North. Some connecting transit services are available at these
stations. For additional information, visit www.mta.info/mnr.

AMTRAK
There is no direct Amtrak passenger service in Orange County. The closest
Amtrak line runs along the east side of the Hudson River between New York City
and Albany, and west to Buffalo or north to Montreal. Amtrak stops are located
in Poughkeepsie and Croton-Harmon. Amtrak connections can also be made by
taking the Port Jervis line to Newark Penn Station via a transfer at the Secaucus
station. The high speed Amtrak Acela service stops at Newark Penn Station as
well as the standard Amtrak Metroliner services.

ORANGE COUNTY PARK & RIDE LOTS
At its most basic, a “Park & Ride lot” is a place where you can park a car in
order to take another transportation trip. In Orange County there are two
formal Park & Ride lot systems which are owned, maintained and promoted as
locations to park cars in order to make connections to transit services. One is
the Metro-North rail station system, mentioned previously. The other system is
owned and maintained by the cooperative efforts of one or more public and
private entities, including: New York
State, Orange County, Coach USA/
ShortLine, and local municipalities. The
principal connecting transit services
at these Park & Ride lots are for commuter, regional, and local bus services.
There are eleven lots in this system,
ranging in size from over 500 parking
spaces with shelters and other amenities
to small parking lots with no amenities. The locations of these lots are shown
on the map enclosed with this guide. All parking is free at these lots, with the
exception of Greenwood Lake, Village of Monroe and Tuxedo Park & Ride lots.

METROPOOL — A MISSION IN MOTION
For more than 25 years, MetroPool, a private, non-profit
corporation, has been promoting alternatives to driving
alone in the Hudson Valley. With the support of the New
York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT),
MetroPool works in Orange, Ulster, Dutchess, Putnam,
Rockland and Westchester Counties to provide a range of
services and programs to commuters and employers.
Consider some of the outstanding options and benefits
available to you through MetroPool...
EASY STREET ® NY VANPOOL PROGRAM
Easy Street® NY is a not-for-profit program sponsored by NYSDOT and
administered by MetroPool. For a fixed monthly fare, groups of six to fifteen
riders share the ride to work from home or a centrally located Park & Ride lot.
The monthly fare includes the van, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and 24-hour
roadside assistance. MetroPool works with commuters to identify existing
vanpools or form new ones. www.easystreetny.com
NURIDE
NuRide is the nation’s first incentive-based online ride-matching network.
Through the NuRide Network® commuters arrange ridesharing trips and earn
rewards for every confirmed trip. Signup is quick, easy and free. In the Hudson
Valley Region, NuRide is sponsored by NYSDOT and administered by MetroPool.
www.nuride.com
COMMUTER TAX BENEFIT
Federal tax law allows substantial tax savings for commuters who travel to
work by bus, train, ferry, or vanpool. An employer sets up a program (MetroPool
can help with this) that allows an employee to set aside up to $115* per month
of his/her salary before taxes to pay for transit, ferry, or vanpool fares. An
employee may also set aside up to $220* for qualified parking. Savings can be
more than $425 a year— just for traveling to work.
* Tax-free amount as of January 2008, modified annually for cost of living adjustment.
For more information, call MetroPool at 800-FIND-RIDE or visit
www.metropool.com.

All schedules for local, commuter, and regional transit services are
available on the internet as noted in this guide. Transit operators will
customarily have paper schedules for their services and some connecting services available at major station stops or terminal locations.
In order to assist in making paper transit schedules more available to
people, Orange County maintains displays of schedules of transit services
within the county and of some services outside the county. These displays
are located at the Orange County Government Center (Goshen),
the Orange County Planning Department – 1887 Building (Goshen),

publica de Orange County.
¿Sabía que miles de personas usan el transporte publico cada día para
llegar al trabajo, al médico, para ir de compras o simplemente para ir
de un lado a otro? Hay muchos tipos de servicios de transporte en
Orange County, incluyendo el servicio de autobuses regular, que parte
de los muchos predios Park & Ride en todo el condado a la ciudad de
Nueva York y sus alrededores. Hay un servicio de trenes regular a la
zona de la ciudad de Nueva York a través de la línea Port Jervis de
Metro-North que atraviesa el corazón del condado. Hay servicios de
autobuses y de transbordadores disponible de Newburgh a la estación
de tren Beacon Train Station en la línea Hudson de Metro-North.
En la ciudad de Middletown, la ciudad de Newburgh y en la villa de
Kiryas Joel tenemos un servicio de autobuses local con un servicio
Paratransit complementario y varias municipalidades ofrecen el servicio
Dial-A-Bus.
Orange County patrocina 16 operadores de transporte individuales que
brindan servicio en cuatro categorías generales: servicios Commuter
Bus (autobuses regulares), Local Bus (autobuses locales de ruta fija),
Dial-A-Bus y Paratransit. Orange County no cuenta con un operador
de tránsito central para todo el condado; sin embargo, a través del trabajo del Departamento de Planeación de Orange County los servicios
de los operadores individuales están coordinados. Ahora usamos el
nombre “Transit Orange” para identificar a los servicios de transporte
individuales y coordinados en Orange County y alrededores.

Servicio de autobuses
regulares
Servicio de autobuses locales
de ruta fija
Estos servicios trasladan a la mayoría de los pasajeros del condado.
Los servicios de autobuses regulares
generalmente brindan servicio
entre Orange County y la ciudad de
Nueva York. Sin embargo, algunos
servicios relativamente menores
hacia condados adyacentes caen
en esta categoría. ShortLine, un
transporte interurbano, brinda
un servicio local significativo en
todo el condado, pero no a todas
las comunidades.
Los servicios de autobuses locales,
que son autobuses más grandes que
siguen horarios regulares en rutas
fijas, son operados en las ciudades
de Middletown y Newburgh y sus
alrededores, así como en la villa
de Kiryas Joel. Además de la zona
local, este servicio puede ser usado
para hacer conexiones con otras
localidades en Orange County y
sus alrededores y con servicios
regulares.

Servicio Dial-A-Bus
Servicio Paratransit
Dial-A-Bus es un servicio abierto al
público donde se requiere llamar
anticipadamente para reservar un
viaje en el autobús. Usted deberá
llamar con 24 horas de anticipación
pero en general necesita llamar con
más tiempo porque el servicio se
presta en base al orden de llegada y
el horario puede llenarse rápidamente. Este no es un servicio de
taxis donde usted es recogido en su
puerta a la hora que usted arregle
con la compañía de taxis. Con DialA-Bus, los muchos pedidos de viajes
son acomodados de la mejor forma
posible y los pasajeros son recogidos
y dejados en las paradas (servició
de parada a parada). Los horarios
cambian a diario y los horarios
específicos para recoger y dejar a
los pasajeros no pueden ser garantizados. Usted debería permitir un
tiempo de viaje adicional ya que
es posible que suban y bajen otros
pasajeros durante su viaje.
Ordenado por la Ley para Estadounidenses con Discapacidades
(ADA) de 1990, los servicios
Paratransit se brindan en todas las
zonas con servicios de autobús
locales (ruta fija) para personas que
no pueden usar el sistema de autobuses local debido a su discapacidad.
Es similar a Dial-A-Bus en que usted
tiene que reservar un viaje llamado
al menos un día antes, pero el servicio Paratransit sólo será provisto
para aquellas personas cuyos viajes
comienzan y finalizan dentro de 3/4
de milla de una línea de autobuses
de ruta fija existente. Los vehículos
Paratransit tienen un elevador para
sillas de ruedas y el servicio se brinda
puerta a puerta. Para calificar para
usar este servicio usted deberá
obtener una Tarjeta de Identificación
ADA Paratransit emitido por Orange
County. Cualquier residente del condado es elegible para presentar una
solicitud. Por favor note que el servicio sólo será provisto dentro de 3/4
de milla de una línea de autobús de
ruta fija existente. A enero de 1996
los sistemas de autobuses locales
que califican para el servicio Paratransit son los operados por Middletown Transit Corp., NewburghBeacon Bus Corp. y la villa de Kiryas
Joel. Para más información y para
recibir una solicitud, llame al
Departamento de Planeación de
Orange County al 845-615-3850.
PLANIFIQUE SU VIAJE ANTES DE TOMAR EL AUTOBÚS
L
Usted deberá saber:
Su dirección de inicio — dónde se sube al autobús.
Su dirección de destino— dónde quiere bajarse del autobús.
La hora que quiere partir y cuándo quiere llegar al lugar que desea ir.

CÓMO LEER EL HORARIO DE AUTOBÚS
Si bien los horarios de autobús pueden parecer diferentes, los elementos básicos de un horario y la
planeación de su viaje son similares entre un operador de autobús y otro. Como ejemplo de cómo
leer un horario usaremos el horario de Coach USA/ShortLine Orange County-ciudad de Nueva York.
La cubierta del horario tiene este aspecto.
La información incluye :
1

los números de las rutas,

Al abrir el horario verá esto. No se muestra todo el horario aquí, sino sólo una pequeña sección
se brinda como un ejemplo de cómo leer un horario.
Como ejemplo, si viaja de Newburgh Terminal a Woodbury Common (Bus Shelter) un lunes, llegando
alrededor del mediodía, así debería leer el horario y planificar su viaje:
1
Primero asegúrese de estar leyendo el horario correcto. En la parte superior del horario
aparecen la dirección del viaje y los días de operación. Asegúrese de estar leyendo el lado
“Orange County & Rockland County To New York Service” del horario (Tabla 2).
2
Busque “Newburgh (Terminal – Park & Ride, Rt. 17K)” y
3
Woodbury Common, NY (Bus Shelter) del lado izquierdo del horario.
4
Mire a lo largo de la linea de Woodbury Common, NY y busque el horario más cercano
a la hora que quiere llegar allí (12 del mediodía). La hora que aparece en el horario es
12:06 p.m. – ¡bastante cerca!
5
Ahora suba leyendo por esta columna hasta encontrar la fila de Newburgh, NY y encontrará
la hora que sale el autobús de Newburgh para llegar a Woodbury Common. La hora que
aparece es 11:30 a.m.
6
Planee estar en esta parada al menos 5 a 10 minutos antes de la hora de partida que aparece
en el horario. Usted debería estar esperando en la parada a las 11:20 a.m.
Planee su viaje según la hora que quiere partir y la hora que necesita llegar a su destino.
Sólo asegúrese de leer el horario correcto, ¡y estará en camino!

SERVICIO DE TRENES DE PASAJEROS
MTA METRO-NORTH RAILROAD
Orange County está servido por la línea Port Jervis del ferrocarril MTA Metro-North a través de un contrato de servicio con
New Jersey Transit (NJT) y por la línea Hudson de Metro-North
en el lado Este del río.
El servicio de la línea Port Jervis corre actualmente de
siete estaciones en Orange County a Hoboken y Secaucus
Transfer Station (así como otras paradas en estaciones de tren en
Nueva Jersey). Desde la nueva estación en Secaucus, los
pasajeros podrán hacer conexiones con otros servicios de New
Jersey Transit a NY Penn Station en el centro de Manhattan (o a
otros servicios de NJT, incluyendo una conexión con el servicio
Amtrak a Newark Penn Station). Los pasajeros de la línea Port
Jervis pueden hacer una conexión también con el servicio Port
Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) o el servicio de transbordador NY
Waterway en Hoboken para acceder al bajo Manhattan.
La línea Pascack Valley del lado Oeste del río Hudson también brinda servicio a Manhattan por Hoboken o Secaucus.
Algunos residentes de Orange County acceden a este servicio en
Spring Valley Station en Rockland County.
El servicio de la línea Hudson de Metro-North opera entre
Poughkeepsie y Grand Central Terminal del lado este del centro
de Manhattan. La estación principal de la línea Hudson para la
mayoría de los residentes de Orange County se encuentra en
Beacon, justo cruzando el puente Newburgh Beacon. La estación
es fácilmente accesible también por transbordador en el período
pico desde la costa de Newburgh y por el servicio de autobús
punto a punto desde el predio Park & Ride en la Ruta 17K (el
estacionamiento es gratis en ambos lugares). El servicio de la
línea Hudson es más frecuente y más directo al centro comparado con la línea
Port Jervis. [Se puede acceder fácilmente también a las estaciones Peekskill o
Croton-Harmon también por el puente Bear Mountain.]
¿QUÉ LÍNEA DE TRENES DEBO TOMAR?
Después de leer acerca del servicio de la línea Hudson
de Metro-North y el servicio de la línea Port Jervis,
tal vez se pregunte qué línea de trenes debería tomar
para la ciudad de Nueva York. Eso podría depender de
dónde piensa ir en Manhattan. Si va al centro o a lado
Este de Manhattan, podría tener sentido tomar la línea
Hudson. Si va al lado Oeste, al bajo Manhattan o al
distrito financiero, podría tener sentido usar la línea
Port Jervis.

Times Herald-Record
Servicio regular al aeropuerto: El Newburgh Beacon Shuttle también brinda un enlace

AMTRAK
No hay ningún servicio de pasajeros de Amtrak en Orange County. La línea
Amtrak más cercana corre a lo largo del lado Este del río Hudson entre la ciudad
de Nueva York y Albany, y al Oeste hacia Buffalo o al norte hacia Montreal. Las
paradas de Amtrak están ubicadas en Poughkeepsie y Croton-Harmon. Las
conexiones de Amtrak también pueden hacerse tomando la línea Port Jervis a la
estación Newark Penn mediante transferencia en la estación Secaucus. El servicio
de alta velocidad de Amtrak Acela tiene paradas en la estación Newark Penn así
como los servicios estándar de Amtrak Metroliner.

PREDIOS PARK & RIDE DE ORANGE COUNTY
En su concepto más básico, un “predio Park & Ride” es un lugar donde usted
puede estacionar un coche a fin de hacer otro viaje de transporte. En Orange
County hay dos sistemas formales de predios Park & Ride cuyos dueños los
mantienen y promueven como lugares para estacionar coches a fin de hacer
conexiones con servicios de tránsito. Uno es el
sistema de la estación de trenes Metro-North
que se mencionó previamente. El otro sistema
está mantenido por los esfuerzos cooperativos de
una o más entidades públicas y privadas que son
sus dueños, incluyendo: New York State, Orange
County, Coach USA/ShortLine y municipalidades
locales. Los principales servicios de tránsito de
conexión en estos predios Park & Ride son para
servicios de autobús regulares, regionales y locales. Hay once predios en este
sistema, con tamaños que van de 1100 espacios de estacionamiento con refugios
y otras comodidades a predios de estacionamiento pequeños sin comodidades.
Las ubicaciones de estos terrenos se muestran en el mapa adjunto con esta
guía. Todo el estacionamiento es gratuito en estos terrenos, con la excepción del
terreno Park & Ride municipal del pueblo de Greenwood Lake.

METROPOOL — UNA MISIÓN EN MOVIMIENTO
Durante más de 25 años, MetroPool, una corporación privada sin
fines de lucro, ha estado promoviendo alternativas a conducir solo
en el valle del Hudson. Con el apoyo del Departamento de
Transporte del Estado de Nueva York (NYSDOT), MetroPool trabaja
en los condados de Orange, Ulster, Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland
y Westchester para brindar una gama de servicios y programas a
viajeros regulares y empleadores.
Considere algunas de las sobresalientes opciones y beneficios disponibles para
usted a través de MetroPool...
PROGRAMA PARA COMPARTIR CAMIONETAS EASY STREET ® NY
Easy Street® NY es un programa sin fines de lucro patrocinado por NYSDOT y
administrado por MetroPool. Por una tarifa mensual fija, grupos de seis a quince
viajeros comparten el viaje del hogar o un predio Park & Ride ubicado centralmente. La tarifa mensual incluye la camioneta, el combustible, el mantenimiento
y la asistencia en el camino las 24 horas del día. MetroPool trabaja con los
viajeros regulares para identificar camionetas compartidas existentes o formar
nuevas. www.easystreetny.com
NURIDE
NuRide es la primera red nacional en línea basada en incentivos para combinar
viajes. A través de NuRide Network® los viajeros regulares acuerdan viajes compartidos y ganan premios por cada viaje confirmado. La inscripción es rápida, fácil
y gratuita. En la región del valle del Hudson, NuRide está patrocinado por NYSDOT y administrado por MetroPool. www.nuride.com
BENEFICIO IMPOSITIVO PARA VIAJEROS REGULARES
La ley impositiva federal permite ahorros impositivos sustanciales para viajeros
regulares que van al trabajo en autobús, tren, trasbordador o camioneta compartida. Un empleador arregla un programa (MetroPool puede ayudar en esto) que
permite a un empleado apartar $115* al mes de su salario antes de impuestos
para pagar por tarifas de tránsito, ferry o camioneta compartida. Un empleado
podrá también apartar $220* para estacionamiento calificado. Los ahorros
pueden ser más de $425 al año, sólo por viajar al trabajo.
* Monto libre de impuestos a enero de 2008, modificado anualmente por ajuste de
costo de vida.

Public Involvement Procedures
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCEDURES
Purpose: To increase public involvement in the transportation planning process that is carried
out by the Orange County Transportation Council (OCTC) Executive and Technical Committees.
Public participation efforts will be conducted at the OCTC Sub-regional level with the goal of
obtaining a balanced view of community interests and to assist as many people as possible in
their understanding of transportation issues, projects and services.
MAP-21 Requirements: The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP21)includes requirements for public participation activities for states and metropolitan planning
organizations (MPOs). The regulations require that MPOS provide citizens, affected public
agencies, representatives of public transportation agency employees, freight shippers, providers
of freight transportation services, private providers of transportation, representatives of users of
public transportation, representatives of users of pedestrian walkways and bicycle transportation
facilities, representatives of the disabled, and other interested parties with a reasonable
opportunity to comment on transportation plans and programs.
MAP-21 also requires states and MPOs — when developing the Regional Transportation Plan
and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) — to coordinate transportation plans with
expected growth, economic development, environmental protection and other related planning
activities within our region. Toward this end, this Public Involvement Plan outlines key decision
points for consulting with affected local, regional, state and federal agencies and Tribal
governments.
General Public Participation Activities: The OCTC Executive and Technical Committees and
staff will continue to expand outreach efforts to various individuals and public interest groups in
the region.
1. The MPO Public Information mailing list will be maintained by the Orange County
Department of Planning and Development and updated regularly by OCTC staff
agencies. The OCTC Staff will continue its efforts to identify and include citizens and
groups that are traditionally under served by the transportation system.
2. Any person or agency requesting information or expressing an interest in receiving
announcements will automatically be added to the list. The individuals and groups on
the mailing list will be periodically surveyed to determine their continued interest in the
OCTC and its activities.
3. OCTC staff will notify the mailing list and the area media outlets about any public
involvement activity 14 calendar days prior to the event. The notice will include date,
time, location, and purpose or topic of the meeting. A public comment period will extend
for an additional 7 calendar days after the public involvement activity.
4. A synopsis of the written or verbal comments resulting from this notification, and the
proposed responses will be prepared by the Orange County Department of Planning and
Development and will be available upon request.
5. Documentation and synopsis of all public OCTC staff meetings will be prepared and
retained by the Orange County Department of Planning and Development. Copies will
be available upon request.
6. Technical and policy information and data will be available from the two OCTC Staff
agencies, the Orange County Department of Planning and Development and the New
York State Department of Transportation - Region 8. Data requests of significant size will
be made available within a reasonable period of time.
7. Transportation Providers such as Rail-Passenger/Freight, Taxi, Fleets-School
Bus/Ambulates, Interstate Bus, Fixed Bus, Dial-a-Bus, Auto Industry, AirplanePassenger/Freight, Truckers-Freight will be invited and will be part of the OCTC
Technical Committee.
Transportation Plan (Long-Range Plan): In addition to the activities discussed under General
Public Participation the following procedures apply to the preparation and update of the
Transportation Plan.
1. The Transportation Plan will be reviewed and updated if necessary at least every three
years . The OCTC staff working with OCTC Technical Committee will have primary
responsibility for developing the transportation plan.
2. There will be a minimum of two forums organized and held with the express purpose of
discussing current transportation issues and goals and potential actions and
recommendations. Notice of the public meetings and relevant support material will be
mailed to all those listed on the MPO Public Information mailing list by the Orange
County Department of Planning and Development.
3. All significant written or verbal comments and the responses will be summarized and
included in the final Transportation Plan.
4. If the final Transportation Plan differs significantly from the one discussed at the open
forums an additional public meeting will be held prior to the consideration by the OCTC
Executive Committee.
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP): In addition to the activities discussed under
General Public Participation the following procedures apply to the preparation and update of the
TIP.
1. In the fall, a "call letter" will be sent to municipalities, participating agencies, and
interested parties announcing the beginning of the annual TIP update process. This letter
will be signed by the Orange County Executive and distributed by the OCTC Staff The
call letter will include information on how municipalities and agencies can request a
specific transportation project be considered for federal , state, or local funding and
information on how to participate in the transportation planning process. In addition, a
schedule of the proposed TIP and any other pertinent information will be included in the
call letter.
-2-
2. The OCTC Staff will review all project proposals received with input from the OCTC
Technical Committee. Proposals for projects on the state system will be directed to the
New York State Department of Transportation. All rail projects will be referred to MetroNorth Railroad Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and any other transit project will
be referred to the Orange County Department of Planning and Development for review
and comment.
3. A public meeting will be held by the OCTC Staff to discuss the TIP development process,
projects on the existing TIP, and proposed project to solicit public input and being
considered for addition to the TIP, and air quality conformity analysis for the TIP. Any
suggestion for a new project not previously considered by the Technical Committee will
be referred to the appropriate agency or transportation provider.
4. After the final TIP and associated air quality conformity statement are approved by the
Council, a User Friendly "TIP" document will be distributed to all council members, the
technical committee, and a wide variety of transportation agencies and special interest
groups as identified on the MPO TIP mailing list. Any person or agency requesting a final
TIP will receive a copy and will be placed on the interested party mailing list. A User
Friendly TIP document is an abridged version of the TIP. The document will provide its
reader a basic overview of the function of a TIP, the highlights of the 5-year program and
the TIP financial basis.
5. All Major TIP Amendments (as defined in the OCTC Operating Procedures, Section 7)
will be subject to public review prior to OCTC Executive Committee action. Notice of the
amendment including project description and impact on the current, approved TIP will be
mailed to those listed on the MPO Public Information mailing list. There will be a
minimum 30 calendar day comment period for those proposed projects in the seven
southern towns (Blooming Grove, Chester, Highlands, Monroe, Tuxedo, Warwick, and
Woodbury) which have been designated as part of the severe non-attainment area for the
New York Metropolitan Area for Ozone. For projects being proposed in the remaining
towns of Orange County, a minimum 15 calendar day comment period will be required
before Executive Committee action since northern Orange County has been designated as
part of a moderate non-attainment area for ozone with Dutchess and Putnam Counties.
Public Participation at OCTC Executive Committee Meetings: The following procedures
will be followed at all OCTC Executive Committee meetings.
1. All persons attending a OCTC Executive Committee meeting, including OCTC members
and the general public , will be asked to record their name, address, and the interest or
group they represent.
2. The general public will be given the opportunity to speak at each OCTC Executive
Committee meeting under the public participation section of the agenda on any item
pertinent to the agenda or the transportation planning process. This does not preclude the
general public from commenting on any agenda item as it is being discussed, time
permitting .
-3-
3. The Chairperson shall be the official spokesperson for the Council to inform the public of
the work of the transportation planning program, and to maintain good relations with the
press and media. Upon request, any Council member can make a public statement or
issue a press release on behalf of their organization. Any public statement issued on
behalf of the OCTC must receive prior approval by the Council.
Review Period for Changes in Public Participation Process:
1. The general public will have 45 calendar days to review and comment on these OCTC
Public Participation Procedures through a public notice and direct mailing of the existing
OCTC Public Information mailing list. Comments from the public will be documented
and acted upon as appropriate with the concurrence of the OCTC voting members.
2. There will be a periodic review of the OCTC Public Participation Procedures to address
changes that may, from time to time, occur.
3. All subsequent changes to the Public Participation Procedures will follow the same 45
calendar day public review process noted above.
