Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and other federal nondiscrimination authorities which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, income level, and Limited English Proficiency. 
ODOT's Office of Equity and Civil Rights (OECR) has nondiscrimination policies which apply in ODOT's programs, activities, services, operations, delivery of benefits, and opportunities to participate.

The ODOT Office of Civil Rights partners with other business areas at ODOT to serve people in Oregon in alignment with federal nondiscrimination authorities.

For more information, see the Related Links section further down the page.​​​​

In an effort to provide equitable access, ODOT provides accessibility aids, translation, and interpretation services for all public events and vital documents free of charge upon request. You can get these services by providing reasonable advanced notice.

Contact the ODOT Office of Civil Rights directly for assistance with any of the following:

  • General assistance and inquiries;
  • Translating ODOT publications;
  • Interpreting for ODOT events or activities;
  • Improving accessibility to public events;
  • Providing recourse against discrimination;
  • Locating Civil Rights program documentation.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and accessibility:

If you're experiencing a barrier to access to Oregon state transportation systems or services, please let us know by completing our Comments, Questions, Concerns, and Requests (CQCR) online form.

Title VI and Discrimination:

Discrimination occurs when someone treats another person unfairly or harasses that person because of what they believe about the person's protected class status. Protected classes under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, income level or Limited English Proficiency (LEP). Oregon recognizes additional protected classes.

If you need help from ODOT related to a discrimination concern, or if you want to file a discrimination complaint with ODOT, please visit our Civil Rights Concerns and Discrimination Complaints at ODOT page. This page provides information about our different concern and complaint options and links to online forms and more resources.
