Overview

The Town of Ashland is seeking public input on its draft Title VI Public Participation Plan, which establishes how the Town will ensure equitable, inclusive, and meaningful public engagement for federally funded transportation projects. The plan supports compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, as well as related federal requirements for Environmental Justice and Limited English Proficiency.

Although these requirements primarily apply to federally funded projects, the Town has developed this policy to establish a consistent approach to public engagement and nondiscrimination across its operations.

The draft plan is available for public review and comment through Friday, July 10, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Community feedback will be used to refine the plan before it is submitted for final legal review and presented to the Ashland Town Council for consideration. Your input will help ensure the Town's engagement practices are accessible, inclusive, and reflective of our community.
