Metro is seeking public comment on its Title VI plan. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects people from discrimination based on race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.

Metro is proposing updates to its Title VI plan, including:

  • The definition of a major service change
  • The policy regarding disparate impacts to a group identified by race, color, or national origin
  • The policy regarding disproportionate burdens to low-income populations

Spanish translation will be available at all meetings. Attendees with communication or accommodation needs such as other interpreting services, auxiliary aids, or readers must call 402.341.7560 ext. 2320 or email outreach@ometro.com at least two working days prior to a meeting so appropriate arrangements can be made. To request foreign language translation other than Spanish, please call at least 72 hours prior to the open houses.

Members of the public who are unable to attend any of the meetings can also submit comments through the comment box below or by mail to the following address:
