Community Participation Plan

The purpose of the Community Participation Plan is to ensure that stakeholders or communities affected by Santa Barbara Airport projects or operations can be informed and participate and have their input thoughtfully considered in the key stages during airport planning efforts, regardless of their race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, creed, age, or disability. This plan is provided in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related authorities. 

Discrimination Complaint Procedures

These procedures are for complaints of discrimination, other than employment discrimination, by  Santa Barbara Airport (SBA). They apply to discrimination by airport employees, contractors, concessionaires, lessees, or tenants of SBA facilities based upon disability, including but not necessarily limited to complaints under the Americans with Disabilities Act Section 504. They cover any program or activity administered by SBA.

Any person, or his or her representative, who feels that he or she or any specific class of persons has been subjected to discrimination or based on their disability has the right to file a complaint with the Airport. These procedures do not deny or limit the right of a complainant to file a formal complaint with an outside agency, such as the U.S. Department of Transportation or Federal Aviation Administration, or to seek private legal counsel regarding discrimination.
