Accessibility Statement

We aim to conform substantially with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and to follow the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Accessibility is treated as an ongoing effort rather than a one-time certification.

• Semantic HTML landmarks, a single H1 per page, and logical heading order.
• Descriptive alternative text on meaningful images.
• Keyboard-operable navigation, menus, accordions, and the cookie banner.
• Visible focus states and adequate text contrast against dark and light surfaces.
• Responsive, reflowable layouts that support zoom and small screens.
• Motion kept subtle, with reduced-motion preferences respected where animation is used.

Some elements may not yet be fully accessible, including stylized map graphics, decorative imagery, and third-party content or websites reached through outbound links, which are outside our control. Where a graphic conveys information, we aim to provide the same information in text nearby.

The Site is tested with common browsers and expected to work with current screen readers, browser zoom, high-contrast modes, and speech-recognition input. Because this Site is published without any contact channel, formal accessibility complaints follow the notice procedure described in the Copyright / DMCA policy.

• Zoom and text size: every page reflows at up to 400% browser zoom. Use Ctrl and + (Windows) or Command and + (Mac) to enlarge text without horizontal scrolling.
• Screen readers: each page has one main heading, and sections follow a logical heading order, so heading navigation (the “H” key in most screen readers) moves through a guide section by section. Breadcrumbs near the top of each page show where you are in the site.
• Reduced motion: if your operating system is set to reduce motion, decorative fades and parallax effects are minimized.
• Reader views: long-form guides are written as standard article text and work well with browser reader modes, which let you set your own font, size, and background color.
• Maps: the interactive map is supplemented by written directions and drive-time summaries on the Getting Here and Neighborhoods pages, so no information depends on the map alone.

Outbound links lead to municipal, school-district, county, and business websites that maintain their own accessibility practices. Official information — such as school assignment, permits, or meeting agendas — should be read on the issuing authority’s website, which is the authoritative and current source.

Accessibility is reviewed as pages are updated, and improvements are made on an ongoing basis. This statement is not a warranty that the Site is free of accessibility defects.
