Accessibility Statement
The State of Colorado is committed to providing equitable access to our services to all Coloradans. Our ongoing accessibility effort works towards being in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, levels A and AA criteria. These guidelines not only help make web content accessible to users with sensory, cognitive, and mobility disabilities but ultimately to all users, regardless of ability. This website is just part of a meaningful change in making all State of Colorado services inclusive and accessible. We welcome comments on how to improve this site’s accessibility for users with disabilities.
We are committed to providing access to all individuals—with or without disabilities—seeking information on our site. This site was built and is maintained to conform to WCAG 2.2 standards, as required by Colorado HB21-2110.
The Communications Plan outlines how the Agency will communicate internally and externally about the accessibility improvements.
The Project Plan is a collection of individual plans intended to address and drive aspects of the project that are critical to success. The Project Manager should develop the Project Plan in cooperation with project sponsors and team members, and review key components of the plan with the Steering Committee for understanding and agreement.
The Project Charter sets the course for a project by ensuring stakeholders and project team members share an understanding of the need for the project, roles, early known milestones, financial needs, and constraints.
The DMVA Accessibility Policy defines policies and procedures to ensure the Agency's compliance with HB21-1110.
