TITLE VI PUBLIC NOTICE
Valley Transit/City of Appleton, as recipients of Federal Funding, assures that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, 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 Valley Transit sponsored program or activity. Valley Transit 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. Any individual, group of individuals, or entity that believes they have been subjected to discrimination relating to the provision of transportation services, or transit related benefits may file a complaint with Valley Transit, the Federal Transit Administration, and/or the Department of Transportation.
The easiest method to file a complaint with Valley Transit, is to simply fill-out a complaint form. Complaint forms are available at the Transit Center, Valley Transit’s Administrative Offices, or online (please click here). Complaints may be submitted by any of the options previously mentioned.

LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY [LEP] PLAN
Valley Transit’s Limited English Proficiency Plan has been prepared to address its responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance as they relate to the needs of individuals with limited English language skills. The plan has been prepared in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, et seq, and its implementing regulations, which state that no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin.
Executive Order 13166, titled Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency, indicates that differing treatment based upon a person’s inability to speak, read, write or understand English is a type of national origin discrimination. It directs each federal agency to publish guidance for its respective recipients clarifying their obligation to ensure that such discrimination does not take place. This order applies to all state and local agencies that receive federal funding, including Valley Transit, which receives federal assistance through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
