They operate in a completely different area than the safety division, so this investigation doesn't detract from or overlap with their safety oversight.

It was DOT's Office of Civil Rights that blocked Alabama's attempt to make it harder for black residents to get driver's licenses and shut down projects that could have destroyed black and Hispanic neighborhoods.

Investigating civil rights complaints is their job.
