Study finds 92% of US city websites fail ADA accessibility

New research examines the accessibility of municipal websites across the United States. The study reports that 92% of city websites fail to meet ADA standards. The analysis was conducted by Access Lumens and covers a broad sample of local government sites. Findings highlight widespread barriers for users with disabilities. The report underscores the legal and ethical risks for municipalities. It suggests that many sites lack basic compliance features such as proper alt text and keyboard navigation. The authors recommend systematic audits and remediation plans. Improving accessibility could enhance civic engagement and reduce liability.
