Programs to Support Civil Rights
PACTS administers several programs to ensure that protected populations have equal access to the benefits of, and participation in, the MPO’s transportation-planning process, free from discrimination.
Mobility For All Program
This program involves a broad range of community members and organizations in improving transportation access for people with barriers. Mobility For All initiatives use inclusive practices to engage older adults, people with disabilities, people of color, and other underserved communities in transportation planning and decision-making.
Public Involvement Program
The Public Involvement Program provides avenues through which all residents, including protected populations, can participate in PACTS transportation-planning and decision-making process.
Access to PACTS-sponsored Meetings
Locations for all PACTS-sponsored meetings are accessible to people with disabilities and are near public transportation whenever possible. Upon request (two weeks in advance), every effort will be made to provide accommodations such as assistive-listening devices, materials in accessible formats and in languages other than English, and interpreters in American Sign Language and non-English languages. Please contact Zoe Miller for more information.
