Non-discrimination Policy

As a recipient of federal transportation funds, the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission provides Assurance of Compliance with U. S. Department of Transportation requirements in regard to Title VI and Civil Rights. MVRPC’s Title VI program is described in a document entitled Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission Title VI Program Plan and Procedures Description,” which includes instructions on how to file a complaint and a complaint form. As recipients of federal funds, the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission and their contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, vendors, and consultants must:

  • Ensure nondiscrimination in all of their programs and activities, whether those programs and activities are federally funded or not. The factors prohibited from consideration as a basis for discriminatory action or inaction include race, color, national origin, biological sex, sexual orientation and gender identity, disability, age, religion, genetic information, military status, low-income status, or limited English proficiency.
     
  • Provide Equal Employment Opportunity by not discriminating in employment based on race, religion, color, sex, national origin, disability, genetic information, age, sexual orientation, or military status.

2025 Calendar Observances

The Institute for Livable & Equitable Communities at the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission encourages all community partners and local entities serving the public to be intentional about engaging with regional residents. The Miami Valley boasts a regional population that includes diverse demographic and ethnic groups. Serving this diversity in an inclusive and equitable way requires an understanding of what observances occur during the calendar year that cater to specific identities and experiences. In support of our nondiscrimination policy and as an extension of our Title VI Program, the agency provides this listing of 2024 calendar observances to help better serve our unique region. Please note that this listing is NOT meant as a mandated requirement to follow, but as an additional consideration for how to best engage the public. If you feel any observances are missing, then please feel free to contact Title VI Coordinator Fabrice Juin (fjuin@mvrpc.org).
