Court Document

Abstract:

A group of organizations representing a diverse group of Los Angeles public transportation patrons succesfully brought suit against the Los Angeles MTA, charging them for violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits government agencies that receive any federal funds from distributing them in a discriminatory manner. The plantiffs charged that MTA fostered a separate and unequal public transit system for riders of color.
