Title VI/Nondiscrimination Program - Policy Statement
It is the policy of
the Florida Department of Transportation, under Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973; Age Discrimination Act of 1975; Section 324 of the
Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973; Civil Rights Restoration Act of
1987; and related statutes and regulations, that no person in the
United States shall, on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex,
age, disability/handicap, or income status, be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected
to discrimination or retaliation under any federally or non-federally
funded program or activity administered by the Department or its
sub-recipients.
To comply with this policy, civil rights and
program area specialists must work closely to carryout their mutual
nondiscrimination program responsibilities. Each Assistant Secretary,
District Secretary, Florida's Turnpike Enterprise Executive Director,
Director, Manager, and Section Head of the Department's major program
areas (Planning, Project Development / Environmental, Design,
Right-of-Way, Construction, Maintenance, Public Transportation, and
Research), as well as the Department's sub-recipients, will be
responsible for making a good faith effort to ensure that this policy is
carried out in their respective program areas.
The authority
to develop, maintain, implement, and monitor this policy is delegated to
the Equal Opportunity Office Manager.
