Changes to RTD Policies that Implement Title VI of the Civi Rights Act of 1964.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has changed that way that they enforce Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, so RTD is changing its policies in response. It is not clear from the RTD announcement, but I think that the FTA is being more proactive in enforcing the Civil Rights Act. Before I think that someone had to sue if their rights were being violated, but now the FTA will cut off funds in cases where a lawsuit would most certainly succeed. Cause not everyone can sue a government agency.

Whatever the reason for the changes, RTD needs to make sure that the public understands them.

RTD Administrative Offices
1600 Blake Street, Room T & D
Denver, CO
Bus and Light Rail: Everything that goes downtown. Just be aware that some express buses only run in one direction in the evening.

I want to know when this policy is going to take place, and if it will encourage RTD to hire a greater range of people.
