Title VI Policy Statement
Non Discrimination Policy Statement                       
 
The La Paz County Transit policy assures full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights act of 1964, the Restoration Act of 1987, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities. Title VI states that “no person shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, or disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination” under any La Paz County Transit sponsored program or activity. There is no distinction between the sources of funding.
 
La Paz County Transit also assures that every effort will be made to prevent discrimination through the impacts of its programs, policies and activities on minority and low-income populations. Furthermore, La Paz County Transit will take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to services for persons with limited English proficiency.
 
When La Paz County Transit distributes Federal-aid funds to another entity/person, La Paz County Transit will ensure all subrecipients fully comply with La Paz County Transit Title VI Nondiscrimination Program requirements. The Health Director has delegated the authority to Mary Frantz, Title VI Program Coordinator, to oversee and implement FTA Title VI requirements.
