ADOT grants are all issued requiring compliance with Arizona Executive Order 75-5 as amended by Arizona Executive Order 99-4, relating to equal opportunity. ADOT is committed to full compliance with Title VI as stated in the ADOT notice below. We are assessing our own performance and preparing to join the rest of ADOT in improving our delivery of Civil Rights programs required with the use of public funds. Although FAA funding goes directly to the airports, not through ADOT to the airports, and although Civil Rights, including Title VI, compliance is reviewed by FAA Western Pacific Region, we are also responsible for our own efforts with State/Local Grants. With that in mind, we would like you to review ADOT’s notice. You can also call ADOT Civil Rights if you have any program questions related to Title VI, ADOT DBE, or any other Civil Rights program area.
