Meeting locations are accessible to people with disabilities and are
near public transportation. Upon request (preferably two weeks in advance of
the meeting), every effort will be made to provide accommodations such as

its programs, services, and activities in compliance with federal
nondiscrimination laws including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
(Title VI), the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, and related statutes
and regulations. Title VI prohibits discrimination in federally assisted
programs and requires that no person in the United States of America shall,
on the grounds of race, color, or national origin (including limited English
proficiency), be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or
be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity that
receives federal assistance. Related federal nondiscrimination laws
administered by the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit
Administration, or both, prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, sex,
and disability. The Boston Region MPO considers these protected populations
in its Title VI Programs, consistent with federal interpretation and
administration. In addition, the Boston Region MPO provides meaningful access
to its programs, services, and activities to individuals with limited English
proficiency, in compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation policy and
guidance on federal Executive Order 13166. The Boston Region MPO also complies with the Massachusetts Public
Accommodation Law, M.G.L. c 272 sections 92a, 98, 98a, which prohibits making
any distinction, discrimination, or restriction in admission to, or treatment
in a place of public accommodation based on race, color, religious creed,
national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or ancestry. Likewise,
the Boston Region MPO complies with the Governor's Executive Order 526,
section 4, which requires that all programs, activities, and services
provided, performed, licensed, chartered, funded, regulated, or contracted
for by the state shall be conducted without unlawful discrimination based on
race, color, age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or
expression, religion, creed, ancestry, national origin, disability, veteran's
status (including Vietnam-era veterans), or background. A complaint form and additional information can be obtained by
contacting the MPO or at http://www.bostonmpo.org/mpo_non_discrimination. To
request this information in a different language or in an accessible format,
