All recipients of federal funds must ensure that they are in full compliance with Title VI and all related regulations and directives in all programs and activities. To that end, no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any of DRPA or PATCO’s programs, policies or activities. CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES The DRPA and PATCO’s Certifications and Assurances are executed annually in FTA’s Transit Award Management System (TrAMS) by the DRPA Chief Executive Officer and the DRPA General Counsel. The Certifications and Assurances for 2019 are not yet available for execution in TrAMS. The 2018 Certifications and Assurances were executed on March 5, 2018.
