Title VI

Title VI

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, 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 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” (42 U.S.C. Section 2000d).

The Town of Bay Harbor Islands is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of Town transit services on the basis of race, color, or national origin, as protected by Title VI in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4702.1.B.

The Town has established a discrimination complaint procedure and will take prompt and reasonable action to investigate and eliminate discrimination when found. Our assurance statement and filing procedures are linked below.
