Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan
Individuals who do not speak English as their primary language and who have a limited ability to read, speak, write, or understand English can be considered Limited English Proficient, or “LEP.” These individuals are entitled to language assistance under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which includes protections against discrimination on the basis of national origin. WAMPO’s Limited English Proficiency (LEP) plan guides WAMPO to provide meaningful access to the transportation planning process for people with a limited ability to communicate in English. It includes an analysis of the number of LEP individuals in the region, the extent to which LEP individuals participate in WAMPO’s processes, the resources WAMPO employs to provide language assistance services, and identification of an appropriate mix of LEP services that WAMPO can make available to ensure access to the transportation planning process.
WAMPO's LEP Plan was approved on December 9, 2025, by the WAMPO Transportation Policy Body (TPB).
