How to Achieve Accessibility Compliance
Listen now
Description
The Department of Justice has issued a final ruling on website accessibility, requiring websites and mobile technology to be accessible to all users. The ruling includes specific timeframes for compliance based on population size and tax income. Local governments need to take immediate action to ensure compliance and avoid penalties. The first step is to establish a clear compliance plan and understand the accessibility standards. Local governments should conduct an audit of their digital presence and prioritize fixing the most frequently accessed pages. It is important to involve residents with disabilities in the feedback process and build core competency within the organization. Vendors should be carefully vetted to ensure they have deep domain expertise in accessibility.
