Title VI
The Town of Steilacoom is a recipient of Federal and State financial assistance, including the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). Executive Order 12898 seeks to avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects, including social and economic effects, on minority populations, and to ensure full/fair participation by all potentially affected communities in the transportation decision-making process.
Recognizing not all individuals speak English as their primary language, Executive Order 13166 ensures individuals whose first language is not English and have limited capacity to read, write, or understand English are provided meaningful access to programs, information, and services by any entity receiving Federal funding.
Individuals who have a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English (limited English proficient/LEP) may be eligible to receive language assistance with respect to planned/current transportation projects.
