Last updated: September 12, 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 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. Business addresses are also available in the text directory; the area map may show additional third-party map features. 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.
