Website Accessibility Statement 

The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 championed the right of all individuals, including those with varying abilities, to have greater access and inclusion throughout the nation. The Allegheny County Treasurer’s Office recognizes that all members of the community with varying abilities have the right to full participation and active involvement in all aspects of our community and that it should serve as the model for this set of beliefs.  

Website accessibility applies to all website content managed by the office and external service providers, including all new, updated, and existing web pages, as well as all web content produced or updated by the Allegheny County Treasurer's Office.

Administration of Website ADA Compatibility

The overall responsibility for the operational compliance of website accessibility will lie with the Treasurer's Office Public Affairs and Information Technology, and departmental leadership, as necessary. These responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Ensuring ADA compliance of all content posted on Allegheny County Treasurer's Office-owned webpages
• Certifying consistent application of ADA standards across all website additions and revisions
• Identifying when content is not compliant and coordinating the appropriate actions to bring content into compliance

Accessibility Design Guidelines

To address aspects of the salient issues identified by the Federal Department of Justice (DOJ), procedures have been developed according to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.1, Level AA, which are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium.  

In accordance with WCAG 2.1, Level AA guidelines, the Allegheny County Treasurer's Office seeks to ensure that website content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can interact with (it cannot be invisible to all their senses)
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be easily maneuverable (it cannot require interactions that a user cannot perform)
• Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be digestible (webpage content or operation cannot be beyond users understanding)
• Robust: There must be enough content to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies (content must remain accessible even as technologies advance)

Page Monitoring & Review

The Allegheny County Treasurer's Office is committed to ensuring the accessibility of its online materials for people with disabilities and recognizes the importance of making its website accessible by everyone, regardless of ability.
