Title VI Implementation

In compliance with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other non-discrimination authorities, the Transportation Department of the Central Arizona Governments (CAG) assures through its policies and procedures that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, and national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any CAG or CAG sponsored program activity.  While CAG receives funds from various sources, there is no distinction between the sources of funding.

CAG’s Title VI Non-Discrimination Program Implementation Plan provides detailed information on how CAG meets its obligations under Title VI in its interactions with the public and through its contracting relationships with organizations that received federal funds.  The Non-Discrimination Policy lists the measures CAG takes to ensure non-discrimination in its programs and activities and how to submit a discrimination complaint.

Any person who believes they have been discriminated against by CAG or any of its sub-recipients or contractors may file a written complaint with PAG and/or the ADOT Civil Rights Office.  If the complaint is filed against CAG, the CAG Title VI/ADA Program Coordinator is required to forward the complaint to the ADOT Civil Rights Office.  All complaints will be promptly investigated by the ADOT Civil Rights Office.
