Your Rights Under Title VI 

Civil Rights Act of 1964

The Law

Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act requires 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.”

Applicability

Title VI covers all agencies receiving federal funds. Title VI applies to discrimination throughout an agency, not just actions involving federally assisted programs.

Filing a Complaint

Title VI complaints involving recipients and beneficiaries may be filed with the Title VI Coordinator, Allen Hunter, by an individual, a class, or by a third party, within 90 days from the date of the alleged discriminatory act. Complaints should be directed to the Title VI Coordinator: Allen Hunter, 301 S. 8th Street Suite 100, Waco, TX 76701, phone number (254) 750-1900 or the Federal Transit Administration Office of Civil Rights, Attention: Title VI Program Coordinator, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE Washington, DC 20590.

It shall be against the policy of McLennan County Rural Transit District to discriminate against an individual based upon that person's race, color or national origin.
