Overview

The Town of Ashland is seeking public input on its draft Title VI Policy, 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 the Town has been taking the proactive steps already, this Policy will ensure consistent application into the future.

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 Thursday, August 13, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Community feedback will be used to refine the plan before final adoption by Town Council. Your input will help ensure the Town's engagement practices are accessible, inclusive, and reflective of our community.
