PDF accessibility for local government
The ADA Title II rule requires the PDFs on city, county, and special district websites to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, starting April 26, 2027 for governments of 50,000 or more and April 26, 2028 for everyone else. In our testing, 477 of 481 published government documents failed automated accessibility checks. Start with whichever of these fits where you are.
