β€œNo persons 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 subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance”

– United States Department of Justice, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Americans with Disabilities Compliance

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)Β prohibits discrimination and ensures equal opportunity and accessΒ for persons with disabilities.Β The Regulatory Compliance and Civil Rights Officer (RCCRO) assists in compliance oversight under ADA federal regulations 49 CFR PartsΒ 27,Β 37,Β 38Β andΒ 39. This includes ensuring that ADA guidelines are consistently followed and applied.

Title VI Compliance and Complaint Process

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act Title VI, 42 U.S.C. Β§ 2000d et seq, was enacted as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.

Compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal mandate for all agencies providing public services. Title VI applies to all aspects of the services provided by LBT, which are required to be provided without regard to race, color or national origin. In addition, agencies must also comply with Executive Order 13166, β€œImproving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency.”

LBT has a Title VI Steering Committee (headed by the Title VI officer), comprised of agency department stakeholders and works to integrate program requirements when implementing fare and service changes, as well as any other areas requiring Title VI compliance. To review LBT’s current Title VI Program, please visit the following link – Title VI Program 2022-2025.
