VIEW OUR UPDATED ACCESSIBILITY RESOURCES

In early 2024, the Department of Justice updated its regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The new rule has specific requirements about ensuring web content and mobile apps are accessible to people with disabilities. 

UTA has until April 2026 to comply. 

The new rule impacts UTA by: 

  • Increasing the accessibility requirement from WCAG 2.0 AA to WCAG 2.1 AA. 
  • Allowing UTA to move historical reference materials to an archive section of our website without requiring remediation except upon request. 
  • Requiring a remodel of the current EIR Accessibility Exception process which we anticipate will result in fewer exceptions being approved. 

  • Removing the option to provide an equal but separate experience for users. 

If you create, approve, or share any of the following, you must follow the Best Practices outlined on this website.
