Last updated: August 14, 2026
Our commitment
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and to align with the Americans with Disabilities Act and California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act. Accessibility is an ongoing effort and we work on improvements continuously.
What we’ve built in
- An accessibility widget with text scaling, high contrast, link highlighting, readable fonts, reduced motion, and a larger cursor.
- A “skip to main content” link and semantic landmarks on every page.
- Visible keyboard focus indicators and full keyboard navigation.
- Descriptive alt text on images and labels on form fields.
Known limitations
Some third-party components — including the interactive map tiles and embedded media — may not be fully accessible. Where a map is used, the same places are also available as a text list. AI chat responses are generated dynamically and formatting may vary.
Report a barrier
If you encounter something you cannot access, please tell us through our contact form and select the accessibility topic. Include the page and what happened, and we will work with you to provide the information in an accessible way.
