Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
Advocating mobility justice across our service area includes aspects such as route planning, fare policies, and employment practices within the transportation agency. Our partners work collectively to ensure equal representation across the Mid-and-Upper Shore to strengthen community through comprehensive access.
A Community For All
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. The three main principles of Title VI legislation are:
Nondiscrimination
Will not discriminate against individuals or groups based on race, color, or national origin. This principle ensures equal access and opportunities for all individuals regardless of their racial or ethnic background.
Equal Treatment
Equal treatment to everyone, regardless of race, color, or national origin, in the provision of services, benefits, or opportunities. This principle aims to prevent any form of segregation or unequal treatment based on these characteristics.
Accessibility and Equity
Take affirmative steps to ensure that our programs and activities are accessible to all individuals, regardless of their race, color, or national origin. This principle encourages proactive measures to address any barriers or disparities that may exist.
