Compliance

The Compliance Programs Section is responsible for developing administering and implementing Civil Rights programs. These Civil Rights programs are mandated due to DOTD receiving federal funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, etc.

The federally mandated programs include Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Certification, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, Contract Administration, Small Business Element Certification, Small Business Element Contract Administration, Title VI, Americans with Disabilities Act, Contractor Compliance, Labor Compliance, On-the-Job Training and Title VII.

The Compliance Section has the primary responsibility for ensuring the department’s compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations which governs each of the aforementioned programs, to avoid the loss of federal funding. Additional Compliance Section responsibilities required by the CFR which are sole sourced or outsourced are: National Summer Transportation Institute, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Supportive Services, On-the-Job Training Supportive Services and Hudson and Veteran Small Entrepreneurship Initiatives.
