Government & Public Sector
Equitable civic services compliant with Section 508 and DOJ ADA Title II regulations.
Regulatory Obligations & Risk Drivers
Under the DOJ's 2024 Title II final rule and federal Section 508 mandates, state, local, and federal government digital portals, tax systems, voting information, and public notices must conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
Common Sector Defect Patterns
Inaccessible public-facing PDFs (e.g., permits, council agendas, policy documents).
Third-party civic service integrations (payment processors, GIS maps) failing basic keyboard access.
Legacy forms lacking explicit programmatic labels and error announcements.
Complex multi-step benefits applications with strict session timeouts that violate WCAG 2.2 SC 2.2.1.
Priority Digital Surfaces & User Journeys
