On the Bus

All NTS vehicles are equipped with tablets containing the Google Translate app. This app can translate up to 100 languages, and gives riders with language barriers the ability to communicate with bus drivers on the spot without using an interpreter. 

Other Language Assistance

NTS has open lines of communication with organizations that work with the LEP populations. These organizations are aware how to contact NTS to obtain language assistance. NTS also analyzes the census data and community profiles to determine whether language assistance might be needed in certain settings, such as having public meeting notices translated where the meeting might occur. NTS also honors any request for translations at our public meetings with advanced notice.
