Council adopts Title VI nondiscrimination plan to remain eligible for TxDOT grants
Summary
Council approved Resolution 25‑27 adopting the City’s Title VI nondiscrimination plan required by TxDOT to qualify for federal transportation funding, with staff noting eligible grant categories such as the Highway Safety Improvement Program and off‑system bridge funds.
The council unanimously approved Resolution 25‑27 adopting Fredericksburg’s Title VI nondiscrimination plan, a standard requirement of the Texas Department of Transportation for cities that seek federal transportation grants.
Letty (city staff) explained that TxDOT receives federal funds that are distributed in various categories — such as the Highway Safety Improvement Program, off‑system bridge funding and alternative intersection designs — and that municipalities must adopt a Title VI plan to apply for that funding. Letty moved to approve the resolution and the motion was seconded; the council voted to adopt the plan.
The action preserves the city’s eligibility to apply for TxDOT‑administered federal transportation funds in categories including safety projects and roundabout or alternative intersection funding.
