The Civil Rights Division develops and administers NDDOT's seven Civil Rights Programs:

This program ensures that all programs, activities, and services offered to the general public by the NDDOT are free from discrimination.

This program ensures that the recruitment and selection of regular and temporary employees for the NDDOT is done in a discrimination-free manner; that the work environment is free of discrimination; and includes procedures for the investigation of discrimination complaints. EEO training of all NDDOT employees is part of Title VII.

This program is responsible for certification of minority, female, and other socially and economically disadvantaged owned businesses under the rules and regulations of the federal DBE guidelines.

The NDDOT receives federal funding to provide technical assistance and support to DBE firms to enhance their capabilities, to make them competitive in the project bid process, and to increase their overall effectiveness. The NDDOT also uses state funds to provide counseling services under the on-the-job training program and to monitor the progress of the trainees. The NDDOT contracts with a consultant to provide this assistance and these services.

This program provides training for minority, female, and economically disadvantaged individuals in the skilled craft classifications used by contractors on highway construction projects.

This program ensures that federal-aid highway construction projects valued at more than $10,000 include minority and female employees on construction crews. Formal compliance reviews document contractor efforts.

This program ensures that Davis-Bacon wage rates and fringe benefits are paid to highway construction workers on federal-aid contracts valued at more than $2,000 and subsequent subcontracts. Certified payroll monitoring and a formal complaint process document contractor compliance.
