Title

Title VI, Minority, Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and Low Income Public Outreach Plan Update

Paul Black, MPO Staff

Body

Staff reviewed the existing Title VI, Minority, Limited English Proficiency (LEP), and Low Income Public Outreach Plan and determined the LEP measure for identifying those communities was not possible due to data limitations with the Census.  This sparked a review of the entire methodology.  After setting up a collaborative effort with Federal Highway Administration, NCDOT, DCHC MPO, and Triangle J COG, a new methodology that includes the entire region is now ready.  Along with some technical corrections and the update of all the complaints forms, this is the updated plan.  One significant change is the use of the "safe harbor" threshold for LEP--it will require CAMPO to look at many more languages for translation than in the past, and is required by both FHWA and NCDOT. The item was recommended for approval by the TCC at their November 3^rd meeting.

Requested Action: Ation Conduct public hearing and consider approval the updated plan.
