ELEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION, COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC WORKS, U.S. SENATE
The FHWA equal employment program directly affects almost half a million people employed by FHWA, SHA's, and contractors. Indirectly, the highway construction industry affects millions of jobs in manufacturing, sales, service, and supplies. In every sector, equal employment opportunity is required to be considered in recruitment, selection, training, promotion, assignment, lay-off, and termination. The extent to which the ideal has been met varies, and FY 1979 has been a period of reassessment to analyze trends, identify problems, isolate causes, and develop alternative solutions. These efforts have resulted in several noteworthy accomplishments, highlighted by the completion of a retention study focusing on minority and female employment in FHWA; the establishment of a special recruitment effort by the Administrator; a Memorandum of Understanding among FHWA, Urban Mass Transportation Administration, and Federal Railroad Administration addressing the equal employment responsibilities of recipients; and the redirection of the FHWA/SHA Contract Compliance Program.
