We are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Last updated: May 19, 2026

Our Commitment

Equal access for all users

We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

We believe that every individual deserves equal access to information and functionality on our website. Our ongoing accessibility effort works toward making our digital content accessible to all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies.

Conformance Standards

WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Our website strives to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which addresses the major accessibility barriers for the following principles:

Perceivable

Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.

Operable

User interface components and navigation must be operable by all users.

Understandable

Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.

Robust

Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of our website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions:

  • Third-party content: Some content provided by third-party services (embedded videos, maps, social media feeds) may not fully meet accessibility standards. We work with our vendors to improve their accessibility.
  • PDF documents: Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to remediate these documents and provide accessible alternatives.
  • Dynamic content: Some dynamically loaded content may not immediately be available to screen readers. We use ARIA live regions where possible to announce changes.

We are actively working to address these limitations and welcome your feedback on any accessibility barriers you encounter.
