The CMMPO fully complies with all Federal and Commonwealth of Massachusetts
nondiscrimination protections, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related
statuses and regulations, in all of its programs and activities. The CMMPO does not discriminate
on the basis of: race, color, national origin, English proficiency, or age, ancestry, background,
disability, gender, gender identity or expression, income, religion, sex, sexual orientation or
expression, or military status. Any person who believes himself/herself or through a
representative, file a complaint with the CMMPO. A complaint must be filed no later than 180
days after the date on which the person believes the discrimination occurred.
Title VI prohibits discrimination in federally assisted programs and requires that no person in
the United States of America shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin (including
Limited English Proficiency) be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or
be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal
assistance.
Related federal non-discrimination laws administered by the Federal Highway Administration,
the Federal Transit Administration prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, sex and disability.
These protected categories are contemplated within CMMPO’s Title VI Program, consistent
with federal interpretation and administration. Additionally, CMMPO provides meaningful
access to its programs, services and activities to individuals with limited English proficiency, in
compliance with US Department of Transportation policy and guidance on federal Executive
Order 13166. CMMPO also complies with the Massachusetts Public Accommodation Law,
M.G.L. Chapter 272, Sections 92a, 98, and 98a prohibiting making any distinction,
discrimination, or restriction in admission to or treatment in place of public accommodation
based on race, color, religious creed, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or
ancestry. Likewise, CMMPO complies with the Governor’s Executive Order 526, Section 4 requiring that all of its programs, activities, and services provided, performed, licensed, chartered, funded, regulated, or contracted shall be conducted without unlawful discrimination based on race, color, age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,
religion, creed, ancestry, national origin, disability, veteran’s status, or background.
