Overview

Accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers. When digital products are correctly designed, developed and edited, all users have equal access to information and functionality.

The City and County of San Francisco is dedicated to serving all San Franciscans. We need to give equitable access to all of our digital services and web content. We must consider the need of San Franciscans, City staff, and anyone doing business with the City.

Please see the city’s Digital Accessibility and Inclusion Standards.
