The Transportation Council is committed to public participation that is meaningful and inclusive. The Public Participation Plan guides how the Transportation Council will reach out to and engage with the public, with the goal of such efforts being continuous throughout the activity, thorough enough to reach a broad audience, inclusive of those that have been historically underserved in transportation planning, and able to demonstrate effectiveness. 

Executive Summary in Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic available soon!

The Transportation Council is committed to quality, inclusive planning that involves all residents of the Capital Region who wish to participate, including people with limited English proficiency (LEP), defined as those who do not speak English as their primary language and who have a limited ability to speak, read, write, or understand English. The Limited English Proficiency Plan evaluates demographic data to identify LEP populations within the region. It explains how the Transportation Council intends to meet its statutory and regulatory obligations to provide meaningful access to benefits, services, information, and other important portions of Transportation Council programs and activities for LEP persons. 

The Transportation Council must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  The Capital Region Transportation Council’s Self Evaluation and Transition Plan analyzes its policies, practices, and procedures to ensure compliance. The document contains a nondiscrimination statement as well as a grievance procedure and complaint form. It evaluates the Transportation Council’s public meetings policy, written publications, office facilities including access to the office space and toilet rooms, and its website. The Transition Plan identifies improvements the Transportation Council will make or cause to be made, as well as a timeline for completion.
