The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is committed to upholding the principles and intentions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and related nondiscrimination mandates in all of the Commission’s work, including publications, products, communications, public input, and decision-making processes.

To better identify LEP populations and thoroughly evaluate the Commission’s efforts to provide meaningful access, DVRPC has produced this Limited English Proficiency Plan. This document follows the United States Department of Transportation’s policy guidance to conduct a four-factor analysis and create a five-step implementation plan.
