|  Ensuring Access to Limited English Proficient New Yorkers City agencies that routinely interface directly with New Yorkers are required by Executive Order 120 to provide services in the top six languages spoken by New Yorkers. The Mayor's Office of Operations and the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs have created initiatives and provided assistance in ensuring that the City is accessible to all New Yorkers, and enabling City agencies to more effectively meet the mandated requirements.
