Website Accessibility

Commitment to Accessibility

Allegheny Township is dedicated to ensuring that its website is accessible to all users—including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, and mobility disabilities. We aim to provide an inclusive online experience for everyone, regardless of ability or technology used.

Standards & Compliance

Our site is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA and Section 508 accessibility standards. We follow best practices like meaningful alt text, keyboard-friendly navigation, clear link labels, accessible forms, and sufficient color contrast.

Ongoing Improvements

We periodically review and update the website to fix issues and enhance accessibility. This includes periodic scans, manual testing, and backend improvements. Where limitations exist, we work to resolve them promptly.

Known Limitations

• Some older PDFs or uploaded documents may not be fully accessible to screen readers.

• Occasional dynamic or embedded third party content (e.g., maps, forms, social feeds) may present navigation challenges for keyboard users or otherwise
