The U.S. Department of Justice’s ADA Title II Digital Accessibility Rule requires public agencies to make their websites, mobile apps, and other digital services accessible, with the new extended compliance date of April 26, 2027 required for many California transit agencies. While the dead-line is approaching, there’s still time to prepare.
Join CALACT for this two-part webinar series to learn what the rule requires, understand key ex-ceptions, and explore practical steps for improving digital accessibility and maintaining compli-ance. Each session may be attended independently, though together they provide a comprehen-sive overview of both the legal requirements and best practices.
November 19 | Part 1: Understanding the Title II Final Rule
Learn what the ADA Title II Digital Accessibility Rule requires of public agencies, who and what it applies to, and which content may qualify for exceptions. This session focuses on understanding your agency’s responsibilities and is ideal for transit managers, ADA coordinators, communica-tions staff, procurement staff, and anyone responsible for agency websites or digital content.
November 20 | Part 2: Putting Digital Accessibility into Practice
Learn the fundamentals of digital accessibility and WCAG 2.1 Level AA, with practical guidance on evaluating your website, improving content accessibility, and maintaining compliance over time. Through real-world examples, we’ll explore what agency staff can do themselves, when technical expertise is needed, and how to work effectively with developers, consultants, and vendors—including what to look for in an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) when procur-ing digital products and services.
