TriMet Respects Civil Rights

TriMet’s nondiscrimination policy statements

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states:

“No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Oregon Revised Statute 659A.403 states:

“All persons within the jurisdiction of this state are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any place of public accommodation, without any distinction, discrimination or restriction on account of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status or age.

We are committed to complying with the requirements of Title VI in all of its federally funded programs and activities, as well as Oregon Revised Statute 659A.403. To request additional information on our nondiscrimination requirements, call us at 503-238-7433 (TTY 7-1-1) or send us an email.
