ORANGE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TITLE VI PLAN 2 I. Plan/Policy Statement 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). Orange County/Orange Public Transportation (OPT) is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of its transit services on the basis of race, color, or national origin, as protected by Title VI in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4702.1B. Orange County/OPT as a recipient of FTA grant funding either directly from FTA or through the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will comply with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the U.S. Department of Transportation implementing regulations. This plan was developed to guide Orange County/OPT in its administration and management of Title VI-related activities.
