Title VI Nondiscrimination Statement of Policy

The Title IV plan was reviewed and updated by the SFMPO in 2021. It was approved by the TPB (Transportation Policy Board) in November of 2021 pending minor adjustments to language. This document will be updated soon. 

The Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization (SFMPO) is committed to compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 49 CFR, part 2, and all related regulations and directives. 

SFMPO assures that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, gender, age, or disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity under any SFMPO program, activity or service.

An individual, group of individuals or entity may file a formal Title VI complaint. If you believe that you have received discriminatory treatment by the Santa Fe MPO on the basis of your race, color or national origin, you have the right to file a complaint with the City of Santa Fe EOCC Compliance Officer. The complaint must be filed no later than 180 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory incident.
