Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Overview

SCAG complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to ensure that no person shall, on the basis 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 provided by SCAG. Please see the SCAG Title VI Public Notice regarding the public’s rights under Title VI.

Title VI Complaint Procedures

  • Basis of complaint (i.e., race, color, or national origin).

  • Date of alleged discriminatory act(s).
