DOT's LEP Guidance

In 2005, the U.S. Department of Transportation issued the Policy Guidance Concerning Recipient's Responsibilities to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons. This guidance covers services and policies by recipients of Federal financial assistance from the Department of Transportation related to persons with limited English proficiency. The guidance is based on the prohibition against national origin discrimination in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as it affects limited English proficient persons. 

More detail on the points discussed above and information on other considerations are found in the DOT LEP guidance.
