AACIDs Title VI Program

The ATL Airport Community Improvement Districts is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any program, service, activity, or initiative on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. AACIDs maintains a Title VI Program to support nondiscriminatory practices, meaningful public participation, and access to programs and services for individuals with limited English proficiency.

Complaint Review and Investigation Process

After AACIDs receives a Title VI complaint, the Title VI Coordinator will acknowledge receipt of the complaint and begin the review process.

The Title VI Coordinator will:

1. Review the complaint to determine whether it falls under Title VI.

2. Conduct an investigation, which may include interviews and review of relevant documents.

3. Maintain records of the complaint, investigation, findings, and any related compliance activity.

4. Issue a written decision within 60 days of receiving the complaint, including findings and any corrective actions, if applicable.

AACIDs maintains Title VI complaint and investigation records and makes those records available to the Federal Transit Administration upon request.

Public Participation

AACIDs works to support inclusive and meaningful public involvement in planning and decision-making processes.

AACIDs’ public participation approach is intended to:

• Identify and involve traditionally underserved populations.

• Use multiple outreach methods to reach a diverse audience.

• Provide information in languages other than English when needed.

• Support meaningful access for individuals with limited English proficiency.

Limited English Proficiency

AACIDs is committed to providing meaningful access to individuals with limited English proficiency.

AACIDs uses a Four-Factor Analysis to determine the need for language assistance services, including:

• The number or proportion of limited English proficiency individuals likely to be served or encountered.

• The frequency with which limited English proficiency individuals may come into contact with AACIDs programs.

• The nature and importance of AACIDs programs, services, and activities.

• The resources available and costs associated with providing language assistance services.

Based on this analysis, AACIDs may provide language assistance services such as translation of vital documents, interpreters at public meetings, and staff training related to language access.

Title VI Program Updates

AACIDs reviews and updates its Title VI Program every three years to maintain compliance with federal requirements and respond to changes in the community, programs, services, and activities.
