Accessibility Statement

Standards and scope

We aim to make our website, documents, and digital services conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which is the baseline standard recommended for accessibility of web content. The State of Minnesota’s digital accessibility standard incorporates WCAG 2.1 Level AA and state agencies follow that standard; we use WCAG 2.1 Level AA as our target to align with Minnesota and federal expectations.

​

Under U.S. law (the Americans with Disabilities Act), organizations that provide goods and services to the public are expected to make reasonable efforts to communicate and operate accessibly; accessible electronic information and auxiliary aids may be required to ensure effective communication.

What we do to support accessibility

To improve accessibility, we:

• Design and develop new pages and applications to meet WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria.

• Perform manual and automated accessibility testing (including screen-reader testing, keyboard navigation checks, color-contrast checks, and semantic markup reviews).

• Offer alternative formats of key documents on request (e.g., accessible PDFs, plain-text, large print, or audio).

• Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

• Set the language of the site 

• Set the content order of the site’s pages

• Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

• Added alternative text to images

• Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

• Reduced the use of motion on the site

• Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible
