Limited English Proficiency

The following resources will assist the Agency of Transportation and its recipients and subrecipients in ensuring meaningful access to all programs, service, activities, and benefits of federal assistance to the Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations, communities and groups within Vermont. Meaningful access is considered on the basis of four factors: (1) the number and proportion of persons with English as a Second Language served or encountered in the eligible service population; (2) the frequency with which individuals with English as a Second Language come into contact with the program, activity, or service; (3) the nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by the program; and (4) the resources available to the recipient and costs.
