StanRTA's Title VI Statement of Policy

Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority (StanRTA), also known as "The S", grants equal access to its transportation services in Stanislaus County.  The S is committed to a policy of non-discrimination in the conduct of its business, including its responsibilities under the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which provides that no person 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 its program of transit services delivery.  

Filing a Title VI Complaint

Any person(s) believing that they have been subjected to discrimination under Title VI based on race, color or national origin with regard to transit services delivery has the right to file a complaint within 180 days following the alleged incident.  Complaints may be made by downloading a complaint form, available in either English (PDF) or Spanish (PDF).  To request a form call 209-477-7011 or contact The S by email. Complaints may also be submitted online here; or made verbally either by telephone or in person at the StanRTA office.  The staff will provide assistance with putting the complaint in writing.

Title VI complaints can also be filed with the Federal Transit Administration through its Office of Civil Rights, Title VI Program Coordinator, East Building, 5th Floor-TCR, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
