MAPA’s Civil Rights Policy Statement

MAPA assures that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex, as provided by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 (P.L. 100.259), be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. MAPA further assures every effort will be made to ensure nondiscrimination in all of its programs and activities, whether those programs and activities are federally funded or not.

In the event that MAPA distributes Federal aid funds to another entity, MAPA will include Title VI language in all written agreements and will monitor compliance.

MAPA’s Title VI Coordinator is responsible for initiating and monitoring Title VI activities, preparing reports, and other responsibilities as required by Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 200 and 49 CFR 21.
