The U.S. Department of Justice released a final rule<\/a> this month reaffirming the requirements of state and local governments (including schools and libraries) to provide accessible websites and mobile applications. The ruling establishes the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)<\/a> Version 2.1, Level AA as the standard to determine digital accessibility.<\/p>

State and local government agencies provide a wide array of services and resources through websites. Websites that aren\u2019t accessible can create barriers that prevent people with disabilities or limited English skills from accessing or participating in community activities or programs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)<\/a> requires state and local governments to provide services, programs, and activities equally accessible to people with disabilities \u2013 including websites and digital apps.<\/p>

Offices of Civil Rights from various federal agencies have actively pursued civil rights complaints against government websites. This rule formally establishes WCAG as the compliance standard against which websites are evaluated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)<\/a> are a set of standards developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)<\/a> to ensure that websites, apps, and content are accessible to people with diverse abilities and disabilities. WCAG provides specific guidelines and success criteria for making web content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Compliance Does Not Equal Usability<\/h2>

Compliance with WCAG standards doesn\u2019t necessarily make a website truly accessible. The ADA<\/a> also obligates governments to provide reasonable modifications for digital communications with and service to people with disabilities or language barriers.<\/p>

Governments now have two to three years, depending on the size of the population they serve, to redevelop their websites to bring them into and maintain compliance with ADA requirements \u2013 or face costly civil rights investigations or costly lawsuits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
