SDDOT / Legal Counsel


The Office of Legal Counsel represents the Department of Transportation in all state and federal court and administrative proceedings in which the department is a party, provides legal advice and assistance to all program offices, Region offices and Area offices within the department, and assists in formulating, drafting, and monitoring legislation affecting the department. In addition, the office is frequently called upon to provide advice and assistance to other state agencies and local government officials on transportation-related issues.

The Civil Rights Program is responsible for overseeing Civil Rights issues for the DOT. Within that office, the Civil Rights Compliance Officer is responsible for Equal Employment Opportunity, the On-the-Job Training Program, Title VI Compliance>, TERO (Tribal Employment Rights) Special Provisions, and ADA (Americans with Disabilities) Compliance.

The Labor Compliance Office, for each state transportation construction project involving funds of $100,000 or more, and those involving federal funds in excess of $2,000, assumes responsibility for the enforcement of and compliance with the federal labor provisions.
