Acquiring a new handicap -accessible mini -van through the MoDOT 5310 grant program and providing service to clients is an activity supported by the CAMPO Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). Cole County Residential Services provides services that conform to the overall vision of the CAMPO Metropolitan Transportation Plan, with the specific objectives to "improve transit operations and connectivity" and "enhance regional quality of life" for clients within the CAMPO region. The CAMPO Coordinated Public Transit -Human Services Transportation Plan identifies the need for "additional funds for capital investment and transportation service operation" which the addition of a new handicap -accessible mini -van would provide. Additionally, the Coordinated Public Transit -Human Services Transportation Plan outlines a strategy that "CAMPO will support increased FTA Section 5310 funding for non-profit agencies seeking to acquire vehicles for the transportation of elderly and individual with disabilities and assist in facilitating Human Services transportation coordination efforts as provided for in the Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan." CAMPO staff wishes you well in the grant application process.

MoDOT administers the Section 5310 program as a capital program to procure and fund 80% of the cost of vehicles for such agencies as developmental disability resource boards (Senate Bill 40 boards), sheltered workshops, senior citizen services boards (House Bill 351 boards), and senior centers as well as not-for-profit medical service agencies. JEFFTRAN intends to apply for financial assistance to serve the mobility needs of senior citizens and/or persons with disabilities in Jefferson City, Missouri by purchasing one replacement paratransit bus and one high -roof long conversion vehicle. The transportation service will be available to the general public during all hours of operation. The project is expected to be financed by Federal Section 5310 public transportation funds with additional funds to be provided from the City of Jefferson. In the past, CAMPO has provided a letter of support similar to the attached document. Please let me know if you have any questions. Mark .

I I] ZTA All Public Participation Plan The Public Participation Plan, found in Appendix F, was updated in 2020. Language Assistance Plan The Limited English Proficiency Plan, found in Appendix G, was updated in 2020. Committee Membership CAMPO is governed by a Board of Directors and Technical Committee consisting of representatives from jurisdictions within the planning area, Federal and State transportation agencies, and economic development representatives, with some serving as ex -officio (non- voting) members. Membership is not selected by CAMPO staff. Local jurisdictions and participating agencies make their own selections for representation. CAMPO membership has previously included minority members, but as of February 2020 there are no minority representatives on either body. CAMPO actively encourages the participation of minorities on such committees, but has no control over a jurisdiction's selection of representation. The Board of Directors is responsible for providing official action on federally required plans, documents, and programs. The Board is also responsible for changes in the bylaws and changes to the MPO boundary. por Board of Directors The Technical Committee consists of representatives from a member jurisdiction's professional staff and acts in an advisory capacity. A full list of members of the Board of Directors and Technical Committee can be found at the front of this document. The CAMPO Board of Directors is responsible for appointing two voting members to the Technical Committee; one is the private/freight transportation interest representative and the other a pedestrian or biking interest representative. W I7 :7_1 A i Requirements of MPOs (Chapter VI) Demographic Profile of the Metropolitan Planning Area Table 1 shows the populations for municipalities and unincorporated areas within the CAMPO planning area. Table 2 shows the racial and ethnic make-up of the CAMPO planning area. A note on U.S. Census data. While Figure 2 and Figure 3 were derived from 2010 U.S. Decennial Census data, which is the most accurate data based on jurisdiction, the following maps use data from the 2016 5 Year American Community Survey (ACS). ACS 1-, 3-, and 5 -year estimates are period estimates, meaning they represent the characteristics of the population and housing over a specific data collection period. Data sets are combined to produce 12 months, 36 months or 60 months of data (referred to as 1 -year, 3 -year and 5 -year data.) The population of a city or county determines whether the ACS will collect data for a 1-, 3-, or 5 -year estimate. Most of the CAMPO region falls into the 5 -year estimate category. For the most current data, the 2012-2016 ACS was used to illustrate and analyze the demographics in this section.

The updated DOT and FHWA environmental justice orders define five minority groups as follows: • Black (a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa); • Hispanic or Latino (a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race); • Asian American (a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent); • American Indian and Alaskan Native (a person having origins in any of the original people of North America, South America, including Central America, and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition); and • Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (people having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands). Figure 4 shows the distribution of minority population within the CAMPO planning area. The core of Jefferson City has the highest density of minorities.

During the development of all planning documents, CAMPO seeks out and considers the needs of those traditionally underserved, including minority households. Racial minorities make up approximately 16.5% of the CAMPO population, with the majority located in the core of the Jefferson City in close proximity to the City of Jefferson City Hall, where the majority of the CAMPO public meetings and events are held. CAMPO maintains a list of interested parties, which includes minority representatives, who are included in outreach and engagement activities. Meetings are also held at a times and places served by public transportation. The Board of Directors includes many elected officials which represent minority constituents. Currently, CAMPO has no minority representation on the Board of Directors or Technical Committee. Board and Committee members are chosen by their respective jurisdictions. 15 I I] ZTA Ai Distribution of State and Federal Funds Figure 11 and Figure 12 shows the distribution of State and Federal funds in the aggregate for public transportation projects between 2016 and 2019. Approximately 51% of funding within the 2016-2019 period was spent in Jefferson City. The projects depicted may not have well defined locations and may extend into and out of the MPO boundary. Specifically, projects along US highways 50, 54, and 63 do include large scale improvement or maintenance projects that extend across a county.

CAMPO only has decision making authority on the annual allocation of approximately $150,000 in Consolidated Planning Grant funds (CPG). These funds can only be used for planning activities, not capital projects. Annually, 96% of CPG funds are spent on salaries and minor administrative direct costs. Previous funding sources, such as sub -allocated Small Urban Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds were historically used for capital projects. As of July 1, 2016, the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission ceased providing these funds to MPOs with populations under 200,000. However, unobligated balances could be spent down through FY 2019. How and where funds are spent is determined by the CAMPO Board of Directors, and ultimately approved by MoDOT. Some STP funds were approved by the Board of Directors to be spent by member jurisdictions through a direct sub -allocation from MoDOT to those communities. These allocations were not administered by CAMPO. The following list represents the STP expenditures since the previous Title VI Program update in 2017: • Jefferson City - Clark Avenue/US 50 Traffic Study - $82,000 • St. Martins - ADA and pedestrian/bicycle access along Business 50 West - $30,000 • CAMPO Travel Demand Modeling and Visioning - $102,000 • JEFFTRAN System -Wide Transit Assessment - $60,000 Only two projects were administered by CAMPO, the Travel Demand Modeling and Visioning project to support the update of the CAMPO 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, and the JEFFTRAN Assessment. The Travel Demand Modeling and Visioning project covered the entire CAMPO planning area and thus covered geographic areas that include the protected classes. The JEFFTRAN System -Wide Transit Assessment include a detailed review of impacts on protected classes. The JEFFTRAN system is heavily utilized by the protected classes and operates within the Jefferson City core where the highest concentrations of low income, elderly, minority, and those with disabilities. Title VI Compliance Report Submission Process CAMPO submits a Title VI Compliance report to MoDOT on an annual basis. The process is initiated by MoDOT staff in form of a detailed questionnaire for CAMPO to complete and return to MoDOT in a timely manner. The questionnaire addresses such items as planning activities performed, actions taken to promote Title VI compliance, contracts awarded, Title VI complaints, public involvement activities and related Title VI public interactions.

The Public Participation Plan includes the following policy objectives as they relate to meeting this goal. 1. Public Notice & Accessibility 2. Effective Communication & Visualization 3. Outreach & Engagement 4. Coordination Meaningful public participation is important so that the concerns of a diverse community of stakeholders and general public can be represented in the transportation planning process. The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) is committed to proactively involving the public in identifying and addressing transportation issues. This plan is intended to ensure that public participation is an integral and effective part of CAMPO activities and that decisions are made with the benefit and consideration of a wide range of public perspectives. Regular public participation enables CAMPO to make informed decisions, improve quality through collaborative efforts, and build mutual understanding and trust between with the public it serves. CAMPO 2020 Public Participation Plan I7 :7_1 A i Desired Outcomes Through the implementation of specific participation policies CAMPO hopes to reach the following desired outcomes: • Adequate and timely public notice • Use of a range of visualization techniques to describe all planning products • Public information is made available in accessible formats • Public meetings are held at convenient and accessible locations and times • Explicit consideration and response to public input received on all planning products • Proactive consideration of the needs of those traditionally underserved by existing transportation systems, such as low- income and minority households • Coordination with the statewide and regional transportation planning public involvement and planning processes • Periodic review of procedures and strategies to ensure a full and open participation process. Evaluation of Effectiveness As required by statute (23 CFR 450.316) CAMPO periodically reviews "the effectiveness of the procedures and strategies contained in the participation plan to ensure a full and open process." CAMPO is constantly evaluating the effectiveness of our public participation policies and methods. Since 2015, at least ten planning documents have been updated or developed. Each time a planning document is updated or developed the required policies outlined in the PPP are followed and re-evaluated. Since the last iteration of the PPP, CAMPO has utilized social media more and works more closely with local stakeholders to encourage public input. After each planning process ends CAMPO staff reviews the public input received and holds regular discussion both internally and with Board of Directors and Technical Committee members about how the process can be improved. Public engagement during the development of the 2016 Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan and the 2017 JEFFTRAN Operations Analysis saw marked increases in survey responses and attendance at public meetings. Because of these successes, planning staff worked to use similar techniques to increase participation in the development of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan in 2018 and 2019 CAMPO 2020 Public Participation Plan I7 :7_1 A i 2019 Survey Results As part of the update process two surveys were used. The feedback received from these surveys was used in the update of the PPP. A full summary of survey responses are located in the last section of the PPP and have been uploaded to the CAMPO webpage. 2019 Board of Directors and Technical Committee Survey As part of an annual process to measure staff performance a six question survey was sent to members of the Board of Directors and Technical Committee to gather input on how CAMPO staff can improve internal processes. Fourteen responses were received. Survey results highlighted a need for CAMPO staff to provide more presentations to stakeholder groups, increase engagement at local events and festivals, and interact more with CAMPO communities outside Jefferson City. 2019 Public Participation Survey Results A six question public survey was also used to gather input on how CAMPO can improve outreach and engagement in the region. The survey was sent out via email, Facebook post, and via the CAMPO webpage. Thirty-three responses were received. The survey was helpful in providing CAMPO with information on where respondents live and work, how they would like to receive information, and how engagement can be improved. This survey also highlighted a need to increase in- person engagement and presentations. Participation Policies The policies outlined in this section are strategies that CAMPO staff, Technical Committee, and Board of Directors will undertake in meeting the goal of "genuine, inclusive, responsive, and transparent" public engagement.

The MTP sets goals and defines policies, programs, strategies, and projects to meet the transportation needs of the CAMPO region. The MTP is central to the MPO planning process and addresses all transportation modes, including; surface transportation (roads and bridges), pedestrian and non -motorized, transit, air, waterways & ports, freight, rail. Updates and amendments to the TIP follow the procedures outlined in Tables 1 and 2 of the previous section. 5 -Year Update Process The 5 year update of the MTP should include two phases of engagement. The first phase includes outreach to member jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the general public to gather information on changes to needs and demands in the region. The second phase of engagement includes reviewing data, goals, strategies, and modeling with these same member jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the general public. The second phase concludes with the draft document going through a multi -stage process of review by the Technical Committee, Board of Directors, and public before approval or adoption. The MTP is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of Directors for approval. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 25 -day public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled Board of Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of Directors will close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on the CAMPO webpage and a legal notice will be placed in the newspaper as specified in Table 1. An example Notice is provided in this document. CAMPO 2020 Public Participation Plan Amendment Process The MTP may be changed through an amendment or administrative modification. An amendment to the MTP is subject to a 7 -day public comment period after being reviewed by the Technical Committee and before being approved by the Board of Directors. If staff conducts an administrative modification, notice will be provided to the Board of Directors either prior to or immediately following the modification. Amendments and administrative modifications are documented in the appendix of the MTP. Definitions of an amendment or administrative modification, according to 23 CFR §450.104, are as follows: Administrative modification means a minor revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan, Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), or Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that includes minor changes to project/project phase costs, minor changes to funding sources of previously included projects, and minor changes to project/project phase initiation dates. An administrative modification is a revision that does not require public review and comment, a redemonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination (in nonattainment and maintenance areas). Amendment means a revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP that involves a major change to a project included in a metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP, including the addition or deletion of a project or a major change in project cost, project/project phase initiation dates, or a major change in design concept or design scope (e.g., changing project termini or the number of through traffic lanes or changing the number of stations in the case of fixed guideway transit projects). Changes to projects that are included only for illustrative purposes do not require an amendment. An amendment is a revision that requires public review and comment and a redemonstration of fiscal constraint. If an amendment involves "non- exempt" projects in nonattainment and maintenance areas, a conformity determination is required. I7 :7_1 A i Transportation Improvement Program The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the document identifying transportation projects to be programmed and funded with FHWA and/or FTA funds for the metropolitan planning area over the next five years. Updates and amendments to the TIP follow the procedures outlined in Tables 1 and 2 of the previous section. Annual Update Process The TIP is updated every year and covers a 5 -year period starting July 1 of each year. TIP development begins with a verification of status of projects in the current TIP, solicitation of new projects, and request for budget information from local jurisdictions. Local transit providers are also requested to provide information needed to develop their "Program of Projects" for inclusion in the TIP. CAMPO staff develops the financial plan, project listings, maintenance and operations, and other components of the TIP with support from the Technical Committee, member jurisdictions, MoDOT, FHWA, and FTA. The TIP is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of Directors for approval. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 25 -day public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled Board of Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of Directors will close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on the CAMPO webpage and a legal notice will be placed in the newspaper as specified in Table 1. An example Notice is provided in this document. The Board of Directors then requests approval of the TIP by the Governor and ONE DOT(consisting of FHWA and FTA). Amendment Process The TIP may be changed through an amendment or administrative modification. An amendment to the TIP is subject to a 7 -day public comment period after being reviewed by the Technical Committee and before being approved by the Board of Directors. If staff conducts an administrative modification, notice will be provided to the Board of Directors either prior to or immediately following the modification. Amendments and administrative modifications are documented in the appendix of the TIP. More detail on the process for changes to the TIP can be found in the appendix of the current year TIP. Program of Projects (POP) The POP is a list of projects to be funded in a grant application submitted to the FTA by a designated recipient. The POP lists the subrecipients and indicates whether they are private non-profit agencies, governmental authorities, or private providers of transportation service, designates the areas served (including rural areas), and identifies any tribal entities. In addition, the POP includes a brief description of the projects, total project cost, and Federal share for each project. The POP is a component of the TIP and thus development and update processes follow the public participation procedures used for the TIP. Definitions of an amendment or administrative modification, according to 23 CFR §450.104, are as follows: Administrative modification means a minor revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan, Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), or Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that includes minor changes to project/project phase costs, minor changes to funding sources of previously included projects, and minor changes to project/project phase initiation dates. An administrative modification is a revision that does not require public review and comment, a redemonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination (in nonattainment and maintenance areas). Amendment means a revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP that involves a major change to a project included in a metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP, including the addition or deletion of a project or a major change in project cost, project/project phase initiation dates, or a major change in design concept or design scope (e.g., changing project termini or the number of through traffic lanes or changing the number of stations in the case of fixed guideway transit projects). Changes to projects that are included only for illustrative purposes do not require an amendment. An amendment is a revision that requires public review and comment and a redemonstration of fiscal constraint. If an amendment involves "non- exempt" projects in nonattainment and maintenance areas, a conformity determination is required. CAMPO 2020 Public Participation Plan 10 I7 :7_1 A i Coordinated Public Transit -Human Services Transportation Plan The Coordinated Public Transit -Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan) identifies the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes, provides strategies for meeting these needs, and prioritizes transportation services for funding and implementation. In accordance with Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), the coordinated plan must be in place for agencies to apply for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 funding. Updates and amendments to the Coordinated Plan follow the procedures outlined in Tables 1 and 2 of the previous section. 3 -Year Update Process The 3 -year update of the MTP should include two phases of engagement. The first phase of engagement includes outreach to member jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the general public to gather information on changes to needs and demands in the region. The second phase of engagement includes reviewing data, goals, strategies, and modeling with these same member jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the general public. The second phase concludes with the draft document going through a multi -stage process of review by the Technical Committee, Board of Directors, and public before approval or adoption. The Coordinated Plan is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of Directors. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 25 -day public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled Board of Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of Directors will close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on the CAMPO webpage and a legal notice will be placed in the newspaper as specified in Table 1. An example Notice is provided in this document. Revision Process Any changes to the Coordinated Plan will be presented to the Technical Committee and Board of Directors for their review and approval. The Board of Directors may open a public comment period to accommodate major revisions. Title VI Program, Public Participation Plan, & Language Assistance Plan Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance. Specifically, Title VI provides that: [n]o person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. The Title VI Program is a federally required program and document that includes the Public Participation Plan (PPP) and Language Assistance Plan (LAP). The Title VI Program must be updated every three years. The update process includes a review of CAMPO procedures for notifying the public of their rights under Title VI and how to file a complaint. The document(s) demographic data is reviewed and updated. The update of the PPP includes a full review of current public engagement and comment procedures. A public survey is distributed to gather input on how engagement can be improved. The Title VI Program is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of Directors. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 45 -day public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled Board of Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of Directors will close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on the CAMPO webpage and a legal notice will be placed in the newspaper as specified in Table 1. An example Notice is provided in this document. The PPP is the official public participation process for plans and programs of CAMPO, as well as the Program of Projects for JEFFTRAN, and OATS. Revision Process Any change to the Title VI Program, including the PPP or LAP will be presented to the Technical Committee and Board of Directors for their review and approval. The Board of Directors may open a public comment period to accommodate major revisions. CAMPO 2020 Public Participation Plan 11 Unified Planning Work Program The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) defines tasks and anticipates funding requirements for the metropolitan planning activities performed by CAMPO with federal funds provided by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under title 23 U.S.0 . and title 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53. The UPWP defines activities for all public officials and agencies that contribute resources to the transportation planning process. The UPWP covers one fiscal year, November 1 to October 31, and outlines activities funded through the Consolidated Planning Grant and local funds and serves as the basis for funding agreements with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT). The UPWP also serves as a management tool for scheduling, budgeting, and monitoring the local planning activities. Annual Update Process The UPWP is made available to the public during regularly scheduled Technical Committee and Board of Directors meetings. By regulation, the UPWP is not required to undergo the same level of public involvement as other MPO documents. The UPWP is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of Directors. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 7 -day public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled Board of Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of Directors will close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on the CAMPO webpage and a legal notice will be placed in the newspaper as specified in Table 1.

INTRODUCTION This Limited Assistance Plan has been prepared to address CAMPO responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance as they relate to the needs of individuals with limited English language skills. The plan has been prepared in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and it's implementing regulations, which state that no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin. Executive Order 13166, titled Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), indicates that differing treatment based upon a person's inability to speak, read, write, or understand English is a type of national origin discrimination. It directs each agency to publish guidance for its respective recipients clarifying their obligation to ensure that such discrimination does not take place. This order applies to all state and local agencies which receive federal funds. The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization receives planning funds from the US Department of Transportation via the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration. PLAN SUMMARY CAMPO has developed this Limited English Proficiency Plan to help identify reasonable steps for providing language assistance to persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) who wish to access services provided. As defined Executive Order 13166, LEP persons are those who do not speak English as their primary language and have limited ability to read, speak, write or understand English. The US Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division has developed a set of elements that may be helpful in designing an LEP policy or plan. These elements are used ensure meaningful access to programs and activities to LEP persons. More information for recipients and subrecipients can be found at http://www.lep.gov. These elements have been used to set the goals of the Language Assistance Plan: 1) Identify LEP persons who need language assistance In meeting this goal, CAMPO has used the U.S. Department of Transportation's four -factor LEP analysis which considers the following factors: I. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the planning area who may be served by CAMPO II. The frequency with which LEP persons come in contact with CAMPO services. III. The nature and importance of services provided by CAMPO to the LEP population. IV. The interpretation services available to CAMPO and overall cost to provide LEP assistance. 2) Implement language assistance measures to meet the needs of LEP persons 3) Train MPO staff and other administrative staff 4) Provide adequate notice to LEP persons 5) Monitor and update the Language Assistance Plan as required or needed CAMPO Language Assistance Plan 2020 1 1117 :7_1 ;k 111 IDENTIFICATION OF (LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY) LEP PERSONS This plan uses the recommended four -factor analysis. Each factor is examined to determine the level and extent of language assistance measures required to sufficiently ensure meaningful access to services within the CAMPO planning area. Recommendations are then based on the results of the analysis. NUMBER/PROPORTION OF LEP PERSONS This section addresses the number or proportion of LEP persons in the planning area who may be served by or are likely to require CAMPO services. The LEP population with the Urbanized Area is 1.2%. While the Jefferson City Urbanized Area, seen in Figure 1, is slightly smaller than CAMPO planning area, it includes the most populous areas with the planning area. Spanish is the dominant non-English language spoken in the Jefferson City Urbanized Area.

Figure 2 shows the percent of LEP persons relative to total population of individuals five years and older. Because it is difficult to provide a statistically accurate representation of LEP persons within just the planning area, statistics for the entirety or Cole County and Callaway County have been used.

CAMPO Language Assistance Plan 2020 3 I7 :7_1 A 1111 FREQUENCY OF CONTACT WITH LEP PERSONS This section addresses the frequency with which LEP persons come in contact with CAMPO services. CAMPO staff has reviewed the frequency with which office staff have, or could have, contact with LEP persons. This includes documenting phone inquiries or office visits. Since the 2014 update, no requests for interpreters and no requests for translated program documents has occurred. The CAMPO Technical Committee, Board of Directors, and office staff have had very little contact with LEP persons. However, member organizations have reported contact with LEP individuals, primarily by JEFFTRAN. Traditionally, MPO open houses and workshops have been located in areas where LEP persons reside. In Callaway County the MPO meetings have been held in the census block group with the most LEP persons. In Cole County, the meetings were held in a census block group with one of the highest concentrations of LEP persons. NATURE/IMPORTANCE OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO LEP PERSONS This section addresses the nature and importance of services provided by CAMPO to the LEP population. There is not a significant geographic concentration of any type of LEP individuals in the CAMPO planning area. Approximately 98.8% of the Jefferson City Urbanized Area English only or speak English "very well". As a result, there are few social, service, professional, or leadership organizations within the CAMPO planning area that focus on outreach to LEP individuals. EI Puente -Hispanic Ministry, located in Jefferson City, provides limited assistance to the local Hispanic community, including language assistance. Members of the CAMPO Technical Committee, Board of Directors, or staff are most likely to encounter LEP individuals through office visits, phone conversations, or notifications from other member staff of impacts on services and/or attendance at meetings. RESOURCES AND COSTS This section addresses the resources available to CAMPO and overall costs to provide LEP assistance. Use of "I Speak Cards" and "Google Translate" are free services that can be used in conjunction with paid interpretive services. CAMPO reviewed its available resources that could be used for providing LEP assistance, which of its documents would be most valuable to be translated if the need should arise and is in contact city employees that would be willing to provide voluntary Spanish translation if needed within a reasonable time period. Other language translation, if needed, would be provided through Google Translate, or a telephone/internet interpreter for which CAMPO would pay a fee. Funds available for LEP services would be derived entirely from existing CAMPO operating funds, and compete with other operational requirements of the MPO. CAMPO Language Assistance Plan 2020 I7 :7_1 A i LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE MEASURES A person who does not speak English as their primary language and who has a limited ability to read, write, speak or understand English may be a Limited English Proficient person and may be entitled to language assistance with respect to CAMPO services. Language assistance can include interpretation, which means oral or spoken transfer of a message from one language into another language and/or translation, which means the written transfer of a message from one language into another language. Although there is a very low percentage in the planning area of LEP individuals, CAMPO will strive to offer the following measures LEP persons who need language assistance: • Post notice of the Language Assistance Plan and the availability of interpretation or translation services free of charge in languages LEP persons would understand at initial points of contact. CAMPO will display US Census Bureau ("I SPEAK") cards in the City Hall lobby and make the cards available at all public meetings. • Office staff will also be provided with "I Speak" cards to assist in identifying the language interpretation needed if the occasion arises. • All city staff will be informally surveyed periodically on their experience and frequency concerning any contacts with LEP persons during the previous year. • Translation may not be able to be provided at every event but can easily be identified for the need for future events. CAMPO staff will take reasonable steps to provide the opportunity for meaningful access to LEP clients who have difficulty communicating English. The following resources will be available to accommodate LEP persons: Volunteer interpreters for the Spanish language will be provided within a reasonable time period. Language interpretation will be accessed for all other languages through Google Translate or a telephone interpretation service. TRANSLATION OF DOCUMENTS CAMPO has evaluated the cost and benefits of translating documents for potential LEP groups. Considering the expense of translating the documents, the likelihood of frequent changes in documents and other relevant factors, at this time it is an unnecessary burden to have any documents translated. Due to the very small local LEP population, CAMPO does not have a formal outreach procedure in place. However, when and if the need arises for LEP outreach, CAMPO will consider translating materials. When staff prepares a document, advertisement or schedules a meeting, for which the target audience is expected to include LEP individuals, then documents, meeting notices, flyers, and agendas will be printed in an alternative language based on the known LEP population. CAMPO Language Assistance Plan 2020 I7 :7_1 A i IV. TRAINING OF MPO STAFF The following training is provided to all CAMPO staff and supporting administrative staff: • Information on the Title VI Policy and LEP responsibilities; annually and upon hire • Description of language assistance services offered to the public; in person and telephone • Use of the "I Speak" cards • Documentation of language assistance requests V. PROVIDING NOTICE TO LEP PERSONS CAMPO will notify LEP persons of services available free of charge. Examples of notifications include: • Posting signs in intake areas and r entry points that address how to access language services. • Statements in all CAMPO planning and outreach documents that state language services are available upon request. • CAMPO will work with community-based organizations and other stakeholders to inform LEP individuals of services, including the availability of language assistance services. • CAMPO may post announcement or legal notices in local newspapers or other media in languages other than English if the planning process requires a more targeted effort to engage with LEP persons. VI. MONITORING & UPDATING THE LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN CAMPO will update the Language Assistance Plan as required. At a minimum, the plan will be reviewed and/or updated every three years or when data from the U.S. Census is available; or when it is identified that a higher concentration of LEP individuals are present in the CAMPO planning area. This review and/or update process coincides with update of the CAMPO Title VI Program, which includes the Public Participation Plan and Language Assistance Plan. The following assessment, as recommended by the US Department of Transportation, demonstrates how the Language Assistance Plan has been updated as part of the 2020 update process: Has there been a review of the current LEP population in the planning area? Yes. Staff has updated the maps and figures in Section II to reflect updates to available census data. What is the frequency of encounters with LEP language groups? CAMPO staff inquired with the City of Jefferson Title VI Coordinator, JEFFTRAN, and other City staff about requests for translation services and encounters with LEP individuals. No requests for translation services were reported to have occurred since 2014. City staff did report receiving two phone calls from LEP persons via the caller's translation service. CAMPO Language Assistance Plan 2020 6 I I] ZTA A11 Has there been an assessment of the nature and importance of activities to LEP persons? CAMPO staff does recognize that there are LEP individuals living in the CAMPO planning area. Some of these individuals use public transit, specifically JEFFTRAN, and may in the future request information related to other transportation planning activities. Staff supports JEFFTRAN in the translation of specific products as necessary. Specifically, CAMPO staff is responsible for the development and update of the system route guides which have been translated to Spanish. Has there been a review of the availability of resources, including technological advances and sources of additional resources, and the costs imposed? Yes. Staff has reviewed available resources and the costs associated with specific resources and tools. A minimal cost is associated with using "Google Translate" and printing and dessimenating the "I Speak" language cards. For Spanish speakers, a small number of staff have been identified to assist in translation as available. Telephone translation services have not been used thus far, but are available upon request within a reasonable amount of time. Is existing assistance meeting the needs of LEP persons? It is believed that, due to the lack of requests for translation assistance, CAMPO is meeting the needs of the LEP community. That being said, there is always opportunity to improve services. As stated above, advances in technology, such as "Google Translate" and other smart phone applications and web browser tools have made translation easier. Many tools are free and available to the public. Does CAMPO staff have an understanding of the Language Assistance Plan and how it is implemented? Yes. The Language Assistance Plan has been provided to all CAMPO staff members. Are previously identified sources for assistance still available and viable? Yes. Although staff has not used the tools documented in this plan specifically to serve LEP persons, staff have used the tools in other internal and personal capacities and are familiar with the tools and resources available. Is CAMPO in compliance with the outlined goals of the Language Assistance Plan? CAMPO staff is currently in compliance or in the process of working towards compliance with the goals outlined in the Language Assistance Plan.
