Title VI & Nondiscrimination
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states: “No person in the United States shall, on the ground 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.” Subsequent laws and Presidential Executive Orders added handicap, sex, age or income status to the criteria for which discrimination is prohibited.
As a recipient of state and federal funds, the North Florida TPO is subject to the provisions of Title VI, including environmental justice. Based on Federal publication #FHWA-EP-00-0143, metropolitan planning organizations like the TPO are the primary forum for state departments of transportation (i.e. the Florida Department of Transportation), transit providers, local agencies, and the public to develop local transportation plans and programs that address a metropolitan area’s needs.
