  1. US Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Civil Rights TrainingOctober 21 – 23, 2008 The Federal Transit Administration’s Office of Civil Rights invites its grant recipients and other interested stakeholders in FTA’s Region 8 to attend a three-day training on FTA’s civil rights requirements and guidance. The training will review federal laws, regulations, executive orders, and guidance covering the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program. This training will also discuss recently implemented and proposed updates to existing FTA civil rights directives and guidelines. This training will help practitioners better understand the importance of civil rights considerations in transportation and transit planning, project development, investment, and operations. Participants will be able to apply the content learned during this course to their daily work activities and local environment. Participants will also have the opportunity to provide the FTA with feedback on challenges and opportunities that they have experienced in implementing Federal civil rights directives and to share examples of effective or promising practices that could be adopted by state, regional, and local agencies or community-based organizations. This training will be held at the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Headquarters, 1200 New Jersey Ave, S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590.
