Who is considered to be a ‘sub-recipient’ triggering Title VI compliance?
Financial or other types of assistance provided by the FHWA through the Idaho ITD to local public agencies or local highway jurisdictions for transportation related projects makes the local entity a ‘sub-recipient’. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other Federal Non-discrimination statutes prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin and sex (gender) in the provision of benefits and services in programs and activities that receive Federal funds. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (US DOT) implementing regulations are contained in 49 CFR Part 21 and 23 CFR 200.
