What is Title VI?
As an agency that receives Federal funding, it is SRTC’s responsibility to take substantial steps toward ensuring there is no discrimination in our programs and activities. Title VI is a federal law that protects people from discrimination based on race, color or national origin by agencies and programs that receive Federal dollars.
If you feel that SRTC has discriminated against you because of your race, color, national origin, income or disability please fill out the Title VI Complaint form and return it to SRTC within 180 calendar days of the alleged discrimination. Complaints can be sent via in-person, mail or email to contact.srtc@srtc.org.
If the complaint is accepted for investigation, submitters will be notified in writing within five calendar days. For more information, read SRTC’s Title VI Complaint Procedures.
What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
Disabled individuals have the right to submit a complaint if they feel they have been discriminated against and/or excluded from SRTC’s programs, services and activities. People can fill out an ADA complaint form and return it to SRTC within 180 calendar days of the alleged discrimination. Complaints can be sent via in-person, mail or email to contact.srtc@srtc.org.
Within 10 days of a submission, SRTC will respond in writing acknowledging that it has received the complaint and if the case will stay within SRTC’s jurisdiction or move to another agency’s (Washington State Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, etc.). For more information, read SRTC’s ADA Complaint Procedures.

Non-Discrimination Statement
SRTC does not exclude, deny, or discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, veteran status, familial or marital status, medical condition, disability, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal or state law in its hiring or employment practices, or in its admission to, access to, or operations of its programs, services, or activities.

Environmental Justice
Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people in the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies. While separate, many of the principles of Environmental Justice closely align with Title VI and ADA.
