Equal Employment Opportunity
The RTA has a strong commitment to our region, residents, and employees. As an equal opportunity employer, we strive for a workforce that reflects the community we serve. No person is unlawfully excluded from employment opportunities based on race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age, genetic information, disability, veteran status, retaliation, or other protected classes. RTA’s EEO policy applies to all employment actions, including but not limited to recruitment, hiring, selection for training, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, termination, rates of pay, or other forms of compensation.
EEO PolicyIf an employee or applicant believes they have been subjected to discrimination or harassment on the basis of any of the protected classifications listed above and wishes to file a complaint, they can do so by emailing concerns to EEO@rtamichigan.org, 248-809-0351 and 1001 Woodward Avenue, #1400, Detroit, Michigan, 48226. RTA will promptly initiate a thorough and impartial inquiry. If it is determined that a violation of this Policy has occurred, RTA will take immediate action to remedy the concerns and implement corrective measures as deemed necessary/applicable.
