The Federal Transit Administration's Office of Civil Rights is in the process of conducting three-day trainings on FTA's civil rights requirements in FTA regional office cities. The training will review Federal laws, regulations, executive orders, and guidance covering the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the U.S. Department of Transportation's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program. Participants will also have the opportunity to provide FTA with feedback on challenges and opportunities that they have experienced in implementing Federal civil rights requirements and to share examples of effective or promising practices that could be adopted by transit agencies or community-based organizations.
Future trainings will be held in Seattle, WA, and New York, NY. Registration forms for these events will be posted a later date.
