FAA Civil Rights Compliance: Title VI and ADA Support

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Resources

Recipients of federal financial assistance from the FAA, including airport sponsors and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (AKDOT&PF), are mandated to comply with various anti-discrimination laws and regulations. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, creed, and age. Additionally, Title 49 U.S.C. section 47123 and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 prohibit discriminatory practices. Furthermore, Title 49 CFR, part 21, underscores the necessity for FAA recipients to ensure equal opportunity and access to all programs and activities, thereby promoting fairness and equality.

Recipients must actively ensure nondiscrimination across all their operations by addressing Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and Environmental Justice (EJ) in their planning and operations. This also includes prominently displaying nondiscrimination posters in conspicuous places where travelers can easily view them at the airports. Recipients must confidently ensure that their tenants, air carriers, concessionaires, and fixed-base operators provide benefits and services that are unequivocally free from discriminatory practices.
