The Transportation Council conducts a Title VI compliance review of its planning activities after the adoption of each Transportation Improvement Program. The Title VI Analysis seeks to ensure that both the positive and negative impacts of transportation planning conducted by the Transportation Council and its funding recipients are fairly distributed, disadvantaged populations do not bear disproportionately high and adverse effects, and defined Title VI populations are not experiencing unlawful discrimination in the Transportation Council’s planning activities.
