过境股权办事处
过境权益办公室(TEO), 在RTD的民权部工作, ensures that RTD meets compliance with federal Title VI civil rights requirements — providing public transportation in a nondiscriminatory manner, promoting full and fair public involvement in RTD’s decision-making and ensuring meaningful access to RTD services and programs by persons with limited English proficiency. However, TEO also seeks to move RTD beyond compliance and achieve true transit equity. It is with an understanding of the vital role that public transportation plays for our customers that RTD — and the 过境股权办事处 — seek to integrate transit equity into all of the agency’s programs, 服务及活动. 以这种方式, RTD can better serve the people who rely on public transportation the most while building a respectful, 为所有人提供有尊严和温馨的过境环境.
为了实现过境公平,TEO的目标是:
- To ensure that protected individuals and groups can participate in RTD’s programs, 活动, facilities and services on an equal basis and without discrimination
- 通过透明建立信任, authentic and inclusive community engagement with historically underrepresented customers
- 扩展RTD程序的语言可访问性, 服务及活动 to better serve and include linguistically diverse customers
- 提供过境公平方面的专门知识, 利用数据推动公平的机构决策, ensure equitable distribution of service and advance access as well as eliminate barriers to transit for historically underrepresented communities

交通公平非歧视投诉管理
The 过境股权办事处 coordinates across the agency to determine if a violation of nondiscrimination policy occurred, and it ensures that all parties are fairly represented in an impartial manner.
根据民权法案第六章, it is prohibited for federally funded agencies (such as RTD) to discriminate against customers on the basis of race, 肤色或国籍. Title VI extends protection to individuals who experience discrimination, 包括骚扰, based on their actual or perceived: (i) shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics; or (ii) citizenship or residency in a country with a dominant religion or distinct
宗教身份. 进一步, 根据科罗拉多州修订法规第24-34-601条, it is prohibited for a place of public accommodation to discriminate based on race, 信条, color, 性, 性取向, 性别认同, 性别表达, 婚姻状况, 国籍(包括有限的英语水平), 宗教身份, 残疾或血统.

Equity analyses guide the agency’s decisions on providing transit in a way that prevents discrimination and ensures that all residents of the district have fair access to RTD’s services, 节目和活动. For example, TEO conducts equity analyses for fare and major service changes. 每当RTD修改票价时, or a service change meets the “major service change” threshold, TEO examines whether those changes will have an adverse effect on minority and/or low-income populations.
TEO will also conduct equity analyses when RTD is determining the site or location of certain types of facilities, 包括储存设施, 维护设施和操作中心. If an adverse effect on minority and/or low-income populations is identified, TEO会提出避免的建议, 尽量减少或减轻影响.
