Title VI, Civil Rights Act, 1964

 

Title VI, Civil Rights Act, 1964

 

Title VI, Civil Rights Act, 1964 prohibits discrimination in programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance on the basis of race, color, and national origin.

 

City & County of Honolulu, Department of Transportation Services (DTS), and the non-profit corporation it has contracted to provide fixed route services, "TheBus,", and paratransit services, "TheHandi-Van", are committed to ensuring that no person is discriminated against while using TheBus or TheHandi-Van on the basis of race, color, or national origin, as prohibited by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Any person using TheBus or TheHandi-Van who believes they are a victim of such discrimination may file a complaint with DTS.
