Accessibility
This site is meant to be usable by everyone, including people who use a keyboard, a screen reader, a magnifier, or high-contrast colours. Here is where we stand and how to tell us when something gets in your way.
What we aim for
We build and test to WCAG 2.2 Level AAA, which goes beyond the Level AA bar that Section 508 and EN 301 549 require. That covers the landing page, the interactive app, every agency and section page, and the printable brief.
How we check
Every colour pair is verified to clear AAA contrast in all four themes by an automated gate, and accessibility checks (axe and Lighthouse) run on each change. On top of the automated checks we review the site by keyboard and with assistive technology. You can read the full results in the conformance report and the 508-edition VPAT.
Known limitations
We keep an honest list. The national map is a convenience layer built on a third-party component; everything it shows is also on the fully accessible agency list, so no one is stranded. A few linked external documents (federal rules, validator docs) are outside our control; we summarise them in plain language on our own pages.
Report a barrier
If any part of this site is hard or impossible to use, please tell us. You do not need to know the technical standard, just describe what got in your way.
Report an accessibility barrier
If you would rather not file a public issue, you can reach the maintainer through the contact link on chelseakr.com. We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within a few business days.
