What is Title VI?
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, along with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Restoration Act of 1987 and similar nondiscrimination authorities, are federal laws that protect individuals and groups from discrimination based on their race, color, national origin, disability/handicap, sex, age, or income status in programs and activities that receive Federal financial assistance.  — U.S. Dept. of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration

Here is the link to our July edition of the Mid-MO Current which is our quarterly newsletter that highlights how the Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission staff is assisting our communities. 

The Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission’s Board of Directors held its quarterly meeting on Wednesday, June 27. The meeting included the approval of the fiscal year 2019 work program and budget.

The Work Program includes grant administration services on six currently funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects, three additional CDBG projects that are anticipated to be funded in the coming fiscal year, and allows Mid-MO RPC staff to continue to develop new community and economic development projects for the current and future fiscal years. Highlights of the transportation portion of the Work Program include updates to the Mid-MO RPC Regional Transportation Plan (including the annual update to our Regional Transportation Needs List), performing traffic counts as requested by communities using the RPC’s new traffic counters, and continued work on Mid-MO RPC’s mobility management initiative. The Work Program also includes administrative and procurement support for the Area F Regional Homeland Security Oversight Committee (RHSOC).
