State and Local Governments: First Steps Toward Complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act Title II Web and Mobile Application Accessibility Rule
A guidance resource for state and local governments outlining first-step actions to prepare for compliance with the new web and mobile accessibility rule under Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The resource explains that a final rule published in April 2024 requires all public-entity websites and mobile apps to meet technical accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 Level AA) and provides a phased compliance timeline — April 2026 for larger public entities, April 2027 for smaller ones.
It offers practical planning guidance including steps to assess current accessibility, designate responsible staff (e.g., ADA coordinators, IT, procurement), catalog web content and apps, and begin roadmap development to meet the rule — helping agencies structure their approach well before enforcement deadlines.Â
