Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan Assessment

Oklahoma Department of Transportation

November 2013

I. INTRODUCTION

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) conducted a Limited English Proficiency

(LEP) Assessment to identify language barriers, if any, from public individuals that come into

contact at any of the nine (9) ODOT divisions. (Division map and counties available in Appendix A

and Appendix B). This Assessment was prepared in accordance with the Title VI of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, et se, and it’s implementing regulations, which states that

no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

Executive Order 13166, titled Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English

Proficiency, indicates that differing treatment based upon a person’s inability to speak, read,

write or understand English is a type of national origin discrimination. The Assessment was

designed to evaluate and ensure that all meaningful programs and activities can be accessed to

all individuals.

Policy Statement

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and

national origin in all federally assisted programs. The Federal-aid Highway Act of 1973 (23 U.S.C.

324) added sex as a protected status in all Federal Highway Administration activities. Title VI was

amended by the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-259), effective March 22, 1988,

which added Section 606, expanding the definition of the terms “programs or activities” to

include all of the operations of an educational institution, government entity, or private

employer that receives federal funds if any one operation receives federal funds.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is a state governmental entity. It is the

policy of the ODOT to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and all

related statutes or regulations in all programs and activities.

The ODOT Title VI Coordinator is granted the authority to administer and monitor the Title VI and

Nondiscrimination Program as promulgated under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and any

subsequent legislation. The Title VI Coordinator will provide assistance as needed.

Page 5: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

The ODOT will take all steps to ensure that no person or groups of persons shall, on the grounds

of race, color, sex, age, national origin, disability/handicap, or income status, be excluded from

participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any

and all programs, services, or activities administered by ODOT, its recipients, sub-recipients, and

contractors.

The ODOT delegates Title VI responsibilities to the managers and charges them with the

responsibility to develop and implement procedures and guides to adequately monitor their

programs.

The ODOT recognizes the need for continuous Title VI training for the ODOT personnel.

Anyone who believes that he or she has been discriminated against should contact Jenny Chong,

ODOT Title VI & Title VII Coordinator, at 405-521-2072 or 405-521-4139 in Oklahoma City.

ODOT Advertisement Clause

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) ensures that no person or groups of

persons shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, age, national origin, disability/handicap, or

income status, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise

subjected to discrimination under any and all programs, services, or activities administered by

ODOT, its recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors.

II. AUTHORITY AND GUIDANCE

Federal Authorities

Section 601 of the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides that no person “on the ground

of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of,

or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial

assistance.” The United States Supreme Court in Lau v. Nichols (1974) stated that one type of

national origin discrimination is discrimination based on a person’s ability to speak, read, write,

or understand English.

Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency”

-requires Federal agencies to examine the services they provide, identify any need for services to

those with limited English proficiency (LEP), and develop and implement a system to provide

those services so LEP persons can have meaningful access to them. It is expected that agency

plans will provide for such meaningful access consistent with, and without unduly burdening, the

Page 6: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

fundamental mission of the agency. The Executive Order also requires that the Federal agencies

work to ensure that recipients of Federal financial assistance provide meaningful access to their

LEP applicants and beneficiaries.

III. COMPLIANCE WITH LEP REQUIREMENTS

Pursuant to Executive Order 13166, the meaningful access requirements of Title VI, the Title VI

regulations, and the four-factor analysis set forth in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) revised

LEP Guidance, 67 FR 117 (June 18, 2002), apply to the programs and activities of Federal

agencies, including the Department. Federal financial assistance includes grants, cooperative

agreements, training, and use of equipment, donations of surplus property, and other

assistance. All programs and operations of entities that receive federal funds or assistance

(recipients and sub-recipients) include:

� State agencies

� Local agencies

� Private and nonprofit entities

� All programs and operations of the federal governments

The ODOT will make responsible efforts to provide language assistance to ensure meaningful

access for LEP individuals by:

(1) Conducting a four-factor analysis;

(2) Developing a Language Access Plan (LAP); and

(3) Providing appropriate language assistance.

IV. DETERMINING THE NEED

Federally assisted recipients are required to take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access

to LEP persons. In order to determine the need, ODOT used the following Four Factor Analysis

from the Department of Justice’s “Policy Guidance Concerning Recipients’ Responsibilities to

Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”:

1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are

likely to encounter an ODOT program, activity, or services;

2. The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with ODOT programs,

activities, or services;

3. The nature and importance of the programs, activities, or services provided by ODOT to

the people’s lives; and

Page 7: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

4. The resources available to the ODOT.

The Four Factor Analysis is used to determine oral language assistance while the Safe Harbor

provisions are for written translations:

Safe Harbor A ``safe harbor'' means that if a recipient provides written translations under these circumstances, such action will be considered strong evidence of compliance with the recipient's written-translation obligations under Title VI. The failure to provide written translations under the circumstances outlined in paragraphs (a) and (b) does not mean there is noncompliance. Rather these paragraphs merely provide a guide for recipients that would like greater certainty of compliance than can be provided by a fact-intensive, four-factor analysis. (a) The DOT recipient provides written translations of vital documents for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes 5 percent or 1,000, whichever is less, of the population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered. Translation of other documents, if needed, can be provided orally; or (b) If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the 5 percent trigger in (a), the recipient does not translate vital written materials but provides written notice in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of those written materials, free of cost. These safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only. They do not affect the requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP individuals through competent oral interpreters where oral language services are needed and are reasonable.

Size of Language Group Recommended Provision of Written Language Assistance

1,000 or more in the eligible population in the market area or among current beneficiaries Translated vital documents

More than 5% of the eligible population or beneficiaries and more than 50 in number Translated vital documents

More than 5% of the eligible population or beneficiaries and 50 or less in number

Translated written notice of right to receive free oral interpretation of documents.

5% or less of the eligible population or beneficiaries and less than 1,000 in number No written translation is required.

V. LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN (LAP)

The ODOT has developed the following for oral language assistance services:

� A LEP employee survey was been distributed in order to create an ODOT database of

employees that can either assist in translating and/or interpreting;

Page 8: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

� An ODOT database was created listing all current state approved vendors that can either

assist in translating and/or interpreting;

� A list of community volunteers has been initiated for the ODOT database;

� Ensure that all division receptionist have “I Speak” cards for individuals to identify their

language needs for the ODOT staff;

� Including notices in local newspapers that documents and assistance is available in other

languages;

� Process developed for receptionist at all divisions to assist LEPs;

� Providing notification to individuals of the availability of free language assistance services;

and

� Ensuring that press releases, news, letters, and announcements include all ethnic media,

radio, television, newspapers, magazines, and community based organizations.

The ODOT has adopted the Safe Harbor Provisions and determined that these following

documents are considered vital for the public from this agency:

� Americans with Disabilities complaint forms;

� Americans with Disabilities complaint process;

� Americans with Disabilities brochures;

� Request for Reasonable Accommodation forms;

� Title VI complaint form;

� Title VI complaint process;

� Title VI brochure;

� Right-of-Way’s “Relocation Assistance & Benefits for Business, Farms, and Residences

pamphlet”;

� Right-of-Way’s “Property Rights Brochure”;

� Long Range Transportation plan;

� Freight and Passenger Rail Plan;

� Asset Preservation Plan; and

� Disadvantaged Business Enterprise’s “Uniform Certification Application” form.

After analyzing recent data from the Census Bureau for each division, the following languages

have reached the threshold. However, the ODOT will accommodate any individual that requests

documents to be translated in another language when necessary. Data for each table is available

in Appendix C.

� Division 1 - Spanish

� Division 2 - Spanish

� Division 3 – Spanish & Vietnamese

� Division 4 - Spanish, Chinese, Korean, & Vietnamese

Page 9: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

� Division 5 - Spanish

� Division 6 - Spanish

� Division 7 - Spanish

� Division 8 – Spanish, Chinese, & Vietnamese

� Division 9 (Central Office) – Spanish, German, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Other Asian

languages, Other Pacific Island languages, & Arabic.

The ODOT is committed on monitoring and updating their LAP by conducting the following:

� Have each division submit a LEP Reporting form each time there is an encounter with a

LEP individual;

� Determine how the needs of LEP persons have been addressed;

� Determine the current LEP population in the service area and whether the area for

translation services has changed;

� Continually update the ODOT database of individuals that can assist in interpreting

and/or translating; and

� Work and train employees that frequently interact with LEP individuals.

Each department at ODOT is responsible for the costs incurred on translating their vital

document(s) and/or hiring an interpreter. It has been estimated by vendors that the total costs

of translating all vital documents will be less than $75,000.00. The estimated cost is higher

compared to the initial LEP Assessment (2010) due to additional brochures and the increase of

languages meeting the threshold in various division areas. However, it has been determined that

assisting LEP individuals is critical and will be budgeted in yearly.

VII. Title VI Complaint Process

Any LEP individual has a right to file a complaint against ODOT if he/she believes that the agency

did not provide necessary LEP services as appropriate. These complaints include those available

under Title VI of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. The Title VI complaint forms are available on the

ODOT’s website at http://www.okladot.state.ok.us/civil-rights/title6/index.htm or by contacting

the ODOT’s Civil Rights Division at 405-521-2072 or 405-521-4139.

Community Survey table B16001: LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME BY ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH

FOR THE POPULATION 5 YEARS AND OVER - Universe: Population 5 years and over.

The table identifies each county in the division area and the total number of person(s) to speak

the specific language. The “Total” column is the sum of each language spoken of all the counties

in the division area. The first “percentage” column represents the average of the total number

of the particular language spoken for all counties divided by the total population of all counties.

The “<well” column represents the total number of person(s) that speaks English less than “very

well”. The Census Bureau categorizes how well people speak English into four ranges: very well,

well, not well, and not at all. For this report, ODOT is considering people that speak English

other than “very well” as Limited English Proficient persons. The last “percentage” column

represents the amount of LEP individuals for each spoken language.

Page 21: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

Division 3- Ada, Oklahoma

County Maintenance: Cleveland, Coal, Garvin, Hughes, Johnston, Lincoln, McClain, Okfuskee,

Pontotoc, Pottawatomie, and Seminole

Table 3 portrays information gathered from the 2000-2011 US Bureau of the Census, American

Community Survey table B16001: LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME BY ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH

FOR THE POPULATION 5 YEARS AND OVER - Universe: Population 5 years and over.

The table identifies each county in the division area and the total number of person(s) to speak

the specific language. The “Total” column is the sum of each language spoken of all the counties

in the division area. The first “percentage” column represents the average of the total number

of the particular language spoken for all counties divided by the total population of all counties.

The “<well” column represents the total number of person(s) that speaks English less than “very

well”. The Census Bureau categorizes how well people speak English into four ranges: very well,

well, not well, and not at all. For this report, ODOT is considering people that speak English

other than “very well” as Limited English Proficient persons. The last “percentage” column

represents the amount of LEP individuals in each language.

Page 25: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

Division 5- Clinton, Oklahoma

County Maintenance: Beckham, Blaine, Custer, Dewey, Greer, Harmon, Jackson, Kiowa, Roger

Mills, Tillman, Washita

Table 5 portrays information gathered from the 2000-2011 US Bureau of the Census, American

Community Survey table B16001: LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME BY ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH

FOR THE POPULATION 5 YEARS AND OVER - Universe: Population 5 years and over.

The table identifies each county in the division area and the total number of person(s) to speak

the specific language. The “Total” column is the sum of each language spoken of all the counties

in the division area. The first “percentage” column represents the average of the total number

of the particular language spoken for all counties divided by the total population of all counties.

The “<well” column represents the total number of person(s) that speaks English less than “very

well”. The Census Bureau categorizes how well people speak English into four ranges: very well,

well, not well, and not at all. For this report, ODOT is considering people that speak English

other than “very well” as Limited English Proficient persons. The last “percentage” column

represents the amount of LEP individuals in each language.

Page 29: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

Division 7- Duncan, Oklahoma

County Maintenance: Caddo, Carter, Comanche, Cotton, Grady, Jefferson, Love, Murray, Stephens

Table 7 portrays information gathered from the 2000-2011 US Bureau of the Census, American

Community Survey table B16001: LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME BY ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH

FOR THE POPULATION 5 YEARS AND OVER - Universe: Population 5 years and over.

The table identifies each county in the division area and the total number of person(s) to speak

the specific language. The “Total” column is the sum of each language spoken of all the counties

in the division area. The first “percentage” column represents the average of the total number

of the particular language spoken for all counties divided by the total population of all counties.

The “<well” column represents the total number of person(s) that speaks English less than “very

well”. The Census Bureau categorizes how well people speak English into four ranges: very well,

well, not well, and not at all. For this report, ODOT is considering people that speak English

other than “very well” as Limited English Proficient persons. The last “percentage” column

represents the amount of LEP individuals in each language.

Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan Assessment

Oklahoma Department of Transportation

November 2013

I. INTRODUCTION

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) conducted a Limited English Proficiency

(LEP) Assessment to identify language barriers, if any, from public individuals that come into

contact at any of the nine (9) ODOT divisions. (Division map and counties available in Appendix A

and Appendix B). This Assessment was prepared in accordance with the Title VI of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, et se, and it’s implementing regulations, which states that

no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

Executive Order 13166, titled Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English

Proficiency, indicates that differing treatment based upon a person’s inability to speak, read,

write or understand English is a type of national origin discrimination. The Assessment was

designed to evaluate and ensure that all meaningful programs and activities can be accessed to

all individuals.

Policy Statement

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and

national origin in all federally assisted programs. The Federal-aid Highway Act of 1973 (23 U.S.C.

324) added sex as a protected status in all Federal Highway Administration activities. Title VI was

amended by the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-259), effective March 22, 1988,

which added Section 606, expanding the definition of the terms “programs or activities” to

include all of the operations of an educational institution, government entity, or private

employer that receives federal funds if any one operation receives federal funds.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is a state governmental entity. It is the

policy of the ODOT to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and all

related statutes or regulations in all programs and activities.

The ODOT Title VI Coordinator is granted the authority to administer and monitor the Title VI and

Nondiscrimination Program as promulgated under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and any

subsequent legislation. The Title VI Coordinator will provide assistance as needed.

Page 37: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

The ODOT will take all steps to ensure that no person or groups of persons shall, on the grounds

of race, color, sex, age, national origin, disability/handicap, or income status, be excluded from

participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any

and all programs, services, or activities administered by ODOT, its recipients, sub-recipients, and

contractors.

The ODOT delegates Title VI responsibilities to the managers and charges them with the

responsibility to develop and implement procedures and guides to adequately monitor their

programs.

The ODOT recognizes the need for continuous Title VI training for the ODOT personnel.

Anyone who believes that he or she has been discriminated against should contact Jenny Chong,

ODOT Title VI & Title VII Coordinator, at 405-521-2072 or 405-521-4139 in Oklahoma City.

ODOT Advertisement Clause

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) ensures that no person or groups of

persons shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, age, national origin, disability/handicap, or

income status, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise

subjected to discrimination under any and all programs, services, or activities administered by

ODOT, its recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors.

II. AUTHORITY AND GUIDANCE

Federal Authorities

Section 601 of the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides that no person “on the ground

of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of,

or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial

assistance.” The United States Supreme Court in Lau v. Nichols (1974) stated that one type of

national origin discrimination is discrimination based on a person’s ability to speak, read, write,

or understand English.

Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency”

-requires Federal agencies to examine the services they provide, identify any need for services to

those with limited English proficiency (LEP), and develop and implement a system to provide

those services so LEP persons can have meaningful access to them. It is expected that agency

plans will provide for such meaningful access consistent with, and without unduly burdening, the

Page 38: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

fundamental mission of the agency. The Executive Order also requires that the Federal agencies

work to ensure that recipients of Federal financial assistance provide meaningful access to their

LEP applicants and beneficiaries.

III. COMPLIANCE WITH LEP REQUIREMENTS

Pursuant to Executive Order 13166, the meaningful access requirements of Title VI, the Title VI

regulations, and the four-factor analysis set forth in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) revised

LEP Guidance, 67 FR 117 (June 18, 2002), apply to the programs and activities of Federal

agencies, including the Department. Federal financial assistance includes grants, cooperative

agreements, training, and use of equipment, donations of surplus property, and other

assistance. All programs and operations of entities that receive federal funds or assistance

(recipients and sub-recipients) include:

� State agencies

� Local agencies

� Private and nonprofit entities

� All programs and operations of the federal governments

The ODOT will make responsible efforts to provide language assistance to ensure meaningful

access for LEP individuals by:

(1) Conducting a four-factor analysis;

(2) Developing a Language Access Plan (LAP); and

(3) Providing appropriate language assistance.

IV. DETERMINING THE NEED

Federally assisted recipients are required to take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access

to LEP persons. In order to determine the need, ODOT used the following Four Factor Analysis

from the Department of Justice’s “Policy Guidance Concerning Recipients’ Responsibilities to

Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”:

1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are

likely to encounter an ODOT program, activity, or services;

2. The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with ODOT programs,

activities, or services;

3. The nature and importance of the programs, activities, or services provided by ODOT to

the people’s lives; and

Page 39: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

4. The resources available to the ODOT.

The Four Factor Analysis is used to determine oral language assistance while the Safe Harbor

provisions are for written translations:

Safe Harbor A ``safe harbor'' means that if a recipient provides written translations under these circumstances, such action will be considered strong evidence of compliance with the recipient's written-translation obligations under Title VI. The failure to provide written translations under the circumstances outlined in paragraphs (a) and (b) does not mean there is noncompliance. Rather these paragraphs merely provide a guide for recipients that would like greater certainty of compliance than can be provided by a fact-intensive, four-factor analysis. (a) The DOT recipient provides written translations of vital documents for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes 5 percent or 1,000, whichever is less, of the population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered. Translation of other documents, if needed, can be provided orally; or (b) If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the 5 percent trigger in (a), the recipient does not translate vital written materials but provides written notice in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of those written materials, free of cost. These safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only. They do not affect the requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP individuals through competent oral interpreters where oral language services are needed and are reasonable.

Size of Language Group Recommended Provision of Written Language Assistance

1,000 or more in the eligible population in the market area or among current beneficiaries Translated vital documents

More than 5% of the eligible population or beneficiaries and more than 50 in number Translated vital documents

More than 5% of the eligible population or beneficiaries and 50 or less in number

Translated written notice of right to receive free oral interpretation of documents.

5% or less of the eligible population or beneficiaries and less than 1,000 in number No written translation is required.

V. LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN (LAP)

The ODOT has developed the following for oral language assistance services:

� A LEP employee survey was been distributed in order to create an ODOT database of

employees that can either assist in translating and/or interpreting;

Page 40: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

� An ODOT database was created listing all current state approved vendors that can either

assist in translating and/or interpreting;

� A list of community volunteers has been initiated for the ODOT database;

� Ensure that all division receptionist have “I Speak” cards for individuals to identify their

language needs for the ODOT staff;

� Including notices in local newspapers that documents and assistance is available in other

languages;

� Process developed for receptionist at all divisions to assist LEPs;

� Providing notification to individuals of the availability of free language assistance services;

and

� Ensuring that press releases, news, letters, and announcements include all ethnic media,

radio, television, newspapers, magazines, and community based organizations.

The ODOT has adopted the Safe Harbor Provisions and determined that these following

documents are considered vital for the public from this agency:

� Americans with Disabilities complaint forms;

� Americans with Disabilities complaint process;

� Americans with Disabilities brochures;

� Request for Reasonable Accommodation forms;

� Title VI complaint form;

� Title VI complaint process;

� Title VI brochure;

� Right-of-Way’s “Relocation Assistance & Benefits for Business, Farms, and Residences

pamphlet”;

� Right-of-Way’s “Property Rights Brochure”;

� Long Range Transportation plan;

� Freight and Passenger Rail Plan;

� Asset Preservation Plan; and

� Disadvantaged Business Enterprise’s “Uniform Certification Application” form.

After analyzing recent data from the Census Bureau for each division, the following languages

have reached the threshold. However, the ODOT will accommodate any individual that requests

documents to be translated in another language when necessary. Data for each table is available

in Appendix C.

� Division 1 - Spanish

� Division 2 - Spanish

� Division 3 – Spanish & Vietnamese

� Division 4 - Spanish, Chinese, Korean, & Vietnamese

Page 41: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

� Division 5 - Spanish

� Division 6 - Spanish

� Division 7 - Spanish

� Division 8 – Spanish, Chinese, & Vietnamese

� Division 9 (Central Office) – Spanish, German, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Other Asian

languages, Other Pacific Island languages, & Arabic.

The ODOT is committed on monitoring and updating their LAP by conducting the following:

� Have each division submit a LEP Reporting form each time there is an encounter with a

LEP individual;

� Determine how the needs of LEP persons have been addressed;

� Determine the current LEP population in the service area and whether the area for

translation services has changed;

� Continually update the ODOT database of individuals that can assist in interpreting

and/or translating; and

� Work and train employees that frequently interact with LEP individuals.

Each department at ODOT is responsible for the costs incurred on translating their vital

document(s) and/or hiring an interpreter. It has been estimated by vendors that the total costs

of translating all vital documents will be less than $75,000.00. The estimated cost is higher

compared to the initial LEP Assessment (2010) due to additional brochures and the increase of

languages meeting the threshold in various division areas. However, it has been determined that

assisting LEP individuals is critical and will be budgeted in yearly.

VII. Title VI Complaint Process

Any LEP individual has a right to file a complaint against ODOT if he/she believes that the agency

did not provide necessary LEP services as appropriate. These complaints include those available

under Title VI of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. The Title VI complaint forms are available on the

ODOT’s website at http://www.okladot.state.ok.us/civil-rights/title6/index.htm or by contacting

the ODOT’s Civil Rights Division at 405-521-2072 or 405-521-4139.

in the division area. The first “percentage” column represents the average of the total number

of the particular language spoken for all counties divided by the total population of all counties.

The “<well” column represents the total number of person(s) that speaks English less than “very

well”. The Census Bureau categorizes how well people speak English into four ranges: very well,

well, not well, and not at all. For this report, ODOT is considering people that speak English

other than “very well” as Limited English Proficient persons. The last “percentage” column

represents the amount of LEP individuals for each spoken language.

Page 53: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

Division 3- Ada, Oklahoma

County Maintenance: Cleveland, Coal, Garvin, Hughes, Johnston, Lincoln, McClain, Okfuskee,

Pontotoc, Pottawatomie, and Seminole

Table 3 portrays information gathered from the 2000-2011 US Bureau of the Census, American

Community Survey table B16001: LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME BY ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH

FOR THE POPULATION 5 YEARS AND OVER - Universe: Population 5 years and over.

The table identifies each county in the division area and the total number of person(s) to speak

the specific language. The “Total” column is the sum of each language spoken of all the counties

in the division area. The first “percentage” column represents the average of the total number

of the particular language spoken for all counties divided by the total population of all counties.

The “<well” column represents the total number of person(s) that speaks English less than “very

well”. The Census Bureau categorizes how well people speak English into four ranges: very well,

well, not well, and not at all. For this report, ODOT is considering people that speak English

other than “very well” as Limited English Proficient persons. The last “percentage” column

represents the amount of LEP individuals in each language.

Page 57: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

Division 5- Clinton, Oklahoma

County Maintenance: Beckham, Blaine, Custer, Dewey, Greer, Harmon, Jackson, Kiowa, Roger

Mills, Tillman, Washita

Table 5 portrays information gathered from the 2000-2011 US Bureau of the Census, American

Community Survey table B16001: LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME BY ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH

FOR THE POPULATION 5 YEARS AND OVER - Universe: Population 5 years and over.

The table identifies each county in the division area and the total number of person(s) to speak

the specific language. The “Total” column is the sum of each language spoken of all the counties

in the division area. The first “percentage” column represents the average of the total number

of the particular language spoken for all counties divided by the total population of all counties.

The “<well” column represents the total number of person(s) that speaks English less than “very

well”. The Census Bureau categorizes how well people speak English into four ranges: very well,

well, not well, and not at all. For this report, ODOT is considering people that speak English

other than “very well” as Limited English Proficient persons. The last “percentage” column

represents the amount of LEP individuals in each language.

Page 61: Oklahoma Department of Transportation 2013Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons”: 1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely

Division 7- Duncan, Oklahoma

County Maintenance: Caddo, Carter, Comanche, Cotton, Grady, Jefferson, Love, Murray, Stephens

Table 7 portrays information gathered from the 2000-2011 US Bureau of the Census, American

Community Survey table B16001: LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME BY ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH

FOR THE POPULATION 5 YEARS AND OVER - Universe: Population 5 years and over.

The table identifies each county in the division area and the total number of person(s) to speak

the specific language. The “Total” column is the sum of each language spoken of all the counties

in the division area. The first “percentage” column represents the average of the total number

of the particular language spoken for all counties divided by the total population of all counties.

The “<well” column represents the total number of person(s) that speaks English less than “very

well”. The Census Bureau categorizes how well people speak English into four ranges: very well,

well, not well, and not at all. For this report, ODOT is considering people that speak English

other than “very well” as Limited English Proficient persons. The last “percentage” column

represents the amount of LEP individuals in each language.
