Title VI Compliance

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act states 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 subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” Discrimination based on race, color, or national origin is prohibited under any ITD program, service, or activity, whether federally funded or not.

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) does not and will not exclude any person from participation in, deny benefits of, or subject any person to discrimination under any of its programs or activities on the basis of race, color, or national origin, including individuals with limited English proficiency. ITD also prohibits retaliation against any person who files a discrimination complaint or participates in a Title VI investigation.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 includes:

• Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987
• Limited English Proficiency
