PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ELEMENT
COA's Public Participation Plan is being prepared to ensure that no one is
precluded from participation in connection with the City's maintenance and
development process. The plan ensures that:
o Potentially affected community members will have an appropriate
opportunity to participate in decisions about a proposed activity that
will affect their environment and/or health;
o The public's contribution can influence the City's decision making
concerning the bus shelters;
o The concerns of all participants involved will be considered in the
decision-making process; and
o The City will facilitate the involvement of those potentially affected.
COA's Public Participation Plan is intended to encourage and guide public
involvement efforts and enhance access to the City's transportation-related
decision-making process by minority and Limited English Proficient populations.
COA informs residents of any proposed changes to the bus shelters through the
process of a public commission or workshop meeting advertised on the City's
website and posted in the lobby of its Government Center 2 to 3 days prior to the
meeting.
The City and its records are available to the public. The City's Title VI Complaint
Procedure is available to the public 24 hours/7days a week via our website
www.C ityofave ntu ra.corn.
MINORITY REPRESENTATION ON COMMITTEES AND COUNCIL
The City of Aventura does not have any transit-related committees. If any such
committee is established in the future, this Plan will be amended to depict minority
representation on such committee, and to describe the efforts made to encourage
participation of minorities on such committee.
PROVIDING MEANINGFUL ACCESS TO LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT
PERSONS
Limited English Proficient (LEP)
LEP refers to persons for whom English is not their primary language and who
have a limited ability to read, write, speak or understand English. It includes
people who reported to the U.S. Census that they speak English less than very
well, not well, or not at all.
In order to ensure meaningful access to its services and programs, COA uses
the information obtained in a Four Factor Analysis to determine the specific
language services that are appropriate. This analysis helps COA to determine if
it communicates effectively with LEP persons and informs language access
planning.
The Four Factor Analysis is an individualized assessment that considers:
1. The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or
likely to be encountered by the bus shelters and or COA rideshare;
2. The frequency with which LEP persons come into contact with the
bus shelters and or rideshare;
3. The nature and importance of the bus shelters to people's lives and
or rideshare; and
4. The resources available to COA for LEP outreach, as well as the
cost associated with that outreach.
The first step in the analysis is understanding the proportion of LEP persons who
may encounter the bus shelters and or the COA rideshare programs, their
literacy skills in English and their native language, the location of their community
and neighborhoods and, more importantly, if any are underserved, as a result of
a language barrier.
To do this, the City attempted to evaluate the level of English literacy and to what
degree people in its service area speak a language other than English and what
those languages are. Data for this review is derived from the United States
Census Bureau "Quick Facts" web page data from 2022.
• City of Aventura Overview
The bus shelters and bus stops are located on East Country Club Drive, West
Country Club Drive and on the northeast corner of Biscayne Boulevard and NE
213th Street in Aventura. Aventura is home to a Hispanic population of 44.6%. Of
the total population (38,930), 43.8% of COA residents reported speaking English
less than very well. The census data does not provide information concerning
COA residents who may speak a language other than English or Spanish.
Given that COA does not provide public transportation services in connection
with its receipt of FTA funding, which funding was utilized to construct two bus
shelters, with respect to the second and third factors, it is difficult to ascertain the
frequency with which LEP persons come into contact with the bus shelters or the
nature and importance of the bus shelters to people's lives. Based upon the
Census Bureau data, because COA has a considerable LEP population that
presumable speaks Spanish, documents may be translated into Spanish, as
needed.
