92% of US city websites fail ADA accessibility standards
A new study by AccessLumens found that 92% of US city government websites do not meet ADA accessibility guidelines. The research evaluated over 1,000 municipal sites for compliance with WCAG 2.1 standards. Common failures include missing alt text, poor color contrast, and inaccessible forms.
