Accessibility at Clean & Green Philly

Clean & Green Philly makes accessibility a priority. Our dedicated team of volunteers is committed to creating accessible & inclusive experiences for all. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate and use our website, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Our team prioritizes accessibility by:

  • Integrating accessibility as part of the design process
  • Integrating accessibility in the development process
  • Utilizing automated accessibility tools as part of our testing
  • Designating an Accessibility Specialist that serves as a resource for our contributors

Conformance Status

The Clean & Green Philly website has been evaluated using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 for Level AA conformance. While we strive for full accessibility, the site is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA, meaning some aspects of the content do not yet fully meet these standards.

Limitations & Alternatives

While Clean and Green Philly constantly aims to ensure accessibility of our web pages, there are currently some limitations:

  1. Find Property Filters: While it is usable, the overall screen reader experience of selecting, deselecting and clearing of filter options isn’t optimized. We currently have open issues to resolve this.
  2. Announcing change of state: Find Property filters and pagination may not always announce the change, such as if a new content has loaded, or when an option has been removed.
  3. Interactive Map: Despite our best efforts, some elements in our interactive maps, particularly the properties, may not be fully accessible. Although we selected the most accessible map library available, some criteria couldn’t be met without compromising the essential purpose and meaning of what we represent in the map. We are actively researching ways to enhance its accessibility. In the meantime, we recommend using the property list as an alternative.

This project is an open-source initiative run by dedicated volunteers. While we strive to address issues as quickly and thoroughly as possible, our capacity is limited. We are committed to doing our best and greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work within these constraints.
