Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the Federal law that protects individuals and groups from discrimination on the basis of their race, color, and national origin in programs and activities that receive Federal financial assistance. This also includes other civil rights provisions of Federal statutes and related authorities to the extent that they prohibit discrimination in programs and activities receiving Federal financial aid.
Pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 and other non-discrimination authorities, it is the policy of the Nebraska Department of Roads that discrimination on the grounds of race, color, national origin, disability/handicap, sex, age or income status shall not occur in connection with programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance.
