TITLE VI

Title VI was enacted as part of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. As President John F. Kennedy said in 1963:
Simple justice requires that public funds, to which all taxpayers of all races[colors, and national origins] contribute, not be spent in any fashion which encourages, entrenches, subsidizes or results in racial [color or national origin] discrimination. 
The Northeastern Indiana Regional Coordinating Council and the Counties, Cities and Towns it serves must maintain compliance with civil rights laws and nondiscrimination policies and procedures. This compliance is required to be eligible for state and federal funds. NIRCC staff provides technical assistance to help counties and communities meet and exceed compliance requirements for Title VI and Americans with Disabilities nondiscrimination.

More Description

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Division Offices are responsible for ensuring that all Recipients (State Transportation Agencies) have an approved Title VI/Nondiscrimination Plan and submit Annual Update Reports. Additionally, the Division Offices are responsible for ensuring that the State Transportation Agencies are implementing an effective Monitoring Program of their Subrecipients’ (Local Public Agencies) efforts to effectively implement Title VI and the additional Nondiscrimination requirements.
 
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has made LPAs aware that they must have a Title VI Implementation Plan and an ADA Transition Plan in place (or working towards this) to remain eligible for Federal funding.
