Accessibility Statement

Last updated November 1, 2026

LAIC wants everyone in the region to be able to use this site, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, captions or other assistive technology. AI should not leave people behind, and neither should we.

Our standard

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. The site is partially conformant: most of it meets the standard, and we are working on the parts that don't.

What we do

• Write in plain language.
• Give images text descriptions, and mark purely decorative images so screen readers skip them.
• Support keyboard navigation with visible focus.
• Check color contrast, and never use color alone to convey meaning.
• Label every form field.
• Test on phones as well as computers.

Known limitations

• The interactive map on Our Data Our City may be hard to use with a screen reader. The same figures are available in the dashboard's rankings and compare views, and we can send them in another format on request.
• Some content comes from other services, such as the Jotform survey and linked partner websites, which we don't control.
• Older PDFs and documents may not be fully accessible.

Events

For LAIC events, tell us what you need when you register (interpretation, captioning, accessible seating or materials in advance) and we will do our best to provide it.

Tell us about a barrier

If something on the site doesn't work for you, tell us through our feedback form. Include the page and what happened. We aim to reply within 5 business days and will provide the information another way while we fix the problem.
