Title VI Complaint Procedures

Should a complaint be filed with Humboldt Transit Authority and an external agency simultaneously, the external complaint shall supersede the Humboldt Transit Authority complaint and Humboldt Transit Authority’s complaint procedures will be suspended pending the external agency’s findings. If filed with Humboldt Transit Authority, the Title VI Administrator will begin assessment or investigation of the complaint within fifteen (15) working days of receiving the complaint. Based upon all of the information received, the Title VI Administrator will prepare a draft written response subject to review by the Humboldt Transit Authority Governing Board of Directors. If more time is required, the Administrator shall notify the complaint of the estimated timeframe for completing the review, not to exceed (60) calendar days of the receipt of the formal complaint. If appropriate, Humboldt Transit Authority may administratively close the complaint. If final written response is determined to be needed, the complaint will receive a letter stating the final decision of the General Manager and the complaint will be advised of his/her right to file a complaint with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Office of Civil Rights should the complaint feel dissatisfied with the decision.
