Federal Regulations:

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits the discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, sex or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.  Specifically, Title VI provides that ‘no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color, sex, 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.” The Aviation Department is committed to providing aeronautical services to the public regardless of race, creed, color, sex, or national origin.  In addition, the Department is dedicated to maintaining compliance with language access requirements to ensure effective communication with limited English proficient (LEP) individuals as required by Executive Order 13166.  This policy has been developed to provide for the periodic review of the Department’s practices to comply with Title VI requirements and to establish procedures that will provide guidance in assessing our compliance as well as updating our practices as necessary.
