Overview

Summary

The City of South San Francisco is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to audit, assess, remediate, train, and validate our websites and mobile applications to ensure compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, in accordance with the U.S. Department of Justice's final rule on web and mobile app accessibility for state and local governments, effective April 24, 2024.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a final rule under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), establishing specific requirements to ensure that web content and mobile applications provided by state and local governments are accessible to individuals with disabilities.

This rule mandates that such digital content must be easily accessible and navigable, aligning with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

The rule was published on April 24, 2024, and state and local governments have two to three years to comply, depending on specific circumstances.
