The Rehabilitation of the Whitney Young Memorial Bridge project is committed to providing a website that offers accessibility to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability. We strive to adhere as closely as possible to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0, Level AA), published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. While we aim to ensure that the website meets all the guidelines and standards for accessibility, we know that there are still some areas that could use improvement. Due to the dynamic nature of the website, minor issues may occasionally occur as it is updated regularly. We are continually seeking out solutions that will make the site more user friendly and bring each section up to the same level of overall web accessibility.
If you have any comments and or suggestions regarding improving the accessibility of our site, please contact us using the form above. Your feedback will help us to make the necessary improvements to serve all of our users better.
