PSRC doesn’t discriminate.
We have a document called a Title VI plan that spells out the agency’s commitment to nondiscrimination and fairness in all of its activities.
The name comes from federal law: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987.
Under those laws, any agency receiving federal funds is required to have a Title VI plan. PSRC adopted its first Title VI plan in 2004, and periodically updates the plan to reflect new federal requirements.
To identify low-income and minority households, PSRC publishes an Environmental Justice Demographic Profile based on the U.S. Census and the American Community Survey. This data helps the agency ensure participation by all people potentially affected by transportation decision-making.
For example, PSRC can offer translation services for people with limited English proficiency. The agency also uses outreach techniques for involving people with low incomes and communities of color in planning for transportation.
The Executive Board will consider approval of the Title VI plan at its meeting on Thursday.
