Title VI of the Civil Rights Act is intended to prevent discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. The Houston-Galveston Area Council is and continues to be compliant with Title VI requirements. In order for H-GAC to administer federal transit funding as a direct recipient, the Federal Transit Administration requires H-GAC to adopt a Title VI program which fully documents compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Title VI regulations.

In accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, H-GAC assures that no person, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, sex, age, or disability be excluded from participation in, or denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any agency sponsored program or activity. 

As the direct recipient of Federal Transit Administration funds, H-GAC’s Title VI Program includes:

• A Public Participation Plan;

• A Language Assistance Plan;

• A description of Environmental Justice provisions; and

• Procedures for submission and resolution of Title VI complaints.
