• Any notices to the public of protections against discrimination afforded by Title VI,
as well as a list of their locations;
• A Title VI discrimination complaint form and instructions to the public on how to
complete it;
• A list of any public transportation-related Title VI investigations, complaints or
lawsuits filed with the recipient since the time of the last submission;

proficient populations within the service area (may also include other traditionally
underserved constituencies, such as people with disabilities and low-income
populations);
• The recipient's plan for assisting persons with limited English proficiency;
• The recipient's service standards and service policies;
