includes ensuring that providers of public transportation properly abide by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 12898, “Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations,” and the Department of Transportation’s Guidance to Recipients on Special Language Services to limited English Proficient (LEP) Beneficiaries.

In the FTA compliant investigation process, we analyze the complainant’s allegations for possible Title VI and related deficiencies by the transit provider.  If deficiencies are identified, they are presented to the transit provider and assistance is offered to correct the inadequacies within a predetermined timeframe.  FTA may also refer the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice for enforcement.
