Title VI
INFORMATION

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
 
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). 
 
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 clarified the intent of Title VI to include all program and activities of Federal-aid recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors whether those programs and activities are federally funded or not. 
Recently, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has placed renewed emphasis on Title VI issues, including environmental justice in the transportation planning and programming, and providing meaningful access to persons with Limited English Proficiency.   
 
Delmarva Community Services, Inc. incorporates nondiscrimination policies and practices in providing services to the public. Delmarva Community Services is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participating in or denied the benefits of its transportation services based off of race, or national origin, as protected by Title VI in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4702.1B. If you need further information or feel you are being denied participation in or being denied benefits of the transit services provided by Delmarva Community Services, Inc., or otherwise being discriminated against because of your race, color, national origin, gender, age, or disability, our contact information is:
