NVCOG Seeks Public Input on Transit Equity and Inclusion
Waterbury, CT – The Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG), the regional planning agency representing 19 towns in the Naugatuck Valley, is inviting the community to help shape the future of public engagement in the region. As part of an update to its Title VI Plan and Public Participation Plan, NVCOG is seeking feedback to ensure that its planning processes are inclusive, equitable, and accessible to all residents.
The Title VI Plan ensures that all programs, activities, and services comply with federal civil rights laws guaranteeing non-discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. The Public Participation Plan outlines strategies to engage the public in the planning process, ensuring diverse voices are heard and represented.
The NVCOG has scheduled two public meetings to gather input directly from residents, organizations, and stakeholders. Public meetings will take place on the following dates:
- January 30, 2025, at 6:00 PM
Waterbury City Hall, Veterans Memorial Hall, 2nd Floor
235 Grand Street, Waterbury, CT 06702 - February 26, 2025, at 6:00 PM
Valley Transit District Conference Room
41 Main Street, Derby, CT 06418
These meetings will be interactive, including a brief overview of proposed updates and activities to gather attendees’ thoughts, concerns, and suggestions. Refreshments will be provided. Please email dblanchard@nvcogct.gov to RSVP if you plan to attend.
Meeting locations are ADA accessible. Language assistance is available, and requests can be made at least five business days prior to the meeting by contacting Desira Blanchard, Civil Rights Officer, at dblanchard@nvcogct.gov or 203-757-0535.
For more information, visit https://nvcogct.gov/project/title-vi-plan/ or contact NVCOG at 203-757-0535.
