ADOT’s Title VI Program includes other Nondiscrimination regulations that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, sex, or disability in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. Once an agency accepts federal funds, all of its programs and activities are covered, regardless of their funding source.
How are these regulations applied
ADOT cannot, on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, sex, or disability either directly or through contractual means:
- Deny program services, aids or benefits.
- Provide a different service, aid or benefit, or provide them in a manner different from what is provided to others.
- Segregate or separately treat individuals in any manner related to the receipt of any service, aid or benefit.
- Deny an opportunity to participate as a member of a planning, advisory or similar body that is an integral part of the program.
- Deny persons the opportunity to participate in the provision of services.
Any federal financial aid subrecipient, such as a metropolitan-planning organization, local government or grantee, is required to administer its program and activities without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, or disability.
