Accessibility Statement

Crosby Township is committed to ensuring our digital services are accessible to all members of our community, regardless of ability.

📅 Effective Date: February 18, 2026

Our Commitment

Crosby Township is committed to ensuring that our website, crosbytownshipohio.gov, is accessible to all people, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to meet or exceed the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

We believe that every resident and visitor deserves equal access to government information and services, regardless of ability.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following features throughout our website to support accessibility:

⌨️ Keyboard Navigation

All pages and interactive elements can be navigated using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse.

🏷️ Descriptive Alt Text

Images include meaningful alternative text descriptions so screen readers can convey visual content.

📐 Semantic Structure

Proper heading hierarchy and HTML landmarks help assistive technology users understand page organization.

🎨 Color Contrast

Text and background color combinations meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio requirements for readability.

📱 Responsive Design

Pages adapt to any screen size and work well with zoom levels up to 200% without loss of content.

🔗 Skip Navigation

A “skip to content” link allows keyboard and screen reader users to bypass repetitive navigation menus.

Standards & Conformance

Our website is designed to conform with:

WCAG 2.1 Level AA — The internationally recognized benchmark for web accessibility published by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act — Federal accessibility standards for electronic and information technology
ADA Title II — Ensuring state and local government services, programs, and activities are accessible to individuals with disabilities

✅ Ongoing Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We regularly review our website to identify and address barriers, and we welcome your feedback to help us improve.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

Screen readers (including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver)
Screen magnification software
Speech recognition software (such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking)
Alternative keyboard and switch devices
Browser-based accessibility extensions and tools

We recommend using the latest versions of modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) for the best experience with assistive technologies.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some content may have limitations:

Legacy documents — Some older PDF documents may not yet be fully accessible. We are working to remediate these files and can provide accessible alternatives upon request.
Third-party content — Embedded maps, videos, or external widgets may have accessibility limitations beyond our direct control. We work with vendors to improve accessibility where possible.
Dynamic content — Newly published or frequently updated content may temporarily lack full accessibility compliance. We address any issues as quickly as possible.

Your feedback is essential to making our website more accessible. If you encounter any accessibility barriers or need information in an alternative format, please let us know. We will work to provide a reasonable accommodation within a timely manner.

💬 Alternative Formats
