TITLE VI NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
The Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County (MPOJC) hereby gives public notice
that it is the policy of MPOJC to assure full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
related statutes and regulation provide that no person shall on the ground of race, color, or
national origin be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to
discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The Civil
Rights Restoration Act of 1987 amended Title VI to specify that entire institutions receiving federal
funds, whether schools, colleges, government entities, or private employers, must comply with
Federal civil rights laws, rather than just the particular programs or activities that receive federal
funds.
MPOJC is concerned with the impacts of our programs, projects, and activities on low-income
and minority populations (“Environmental Justice”) under the Title VI. Any person who believes
that they are being denied participation in a project, denied benefits of a program, or otherwise
being discriminated against because they identify with one of the listed characteristics or
protected classes, please contact:
