NASCIO’s IT Accessibility Working Group was created to provide a collaborative space for digital accessibility coordinators nationwide as they began preparing for compliance with the 2024 Department of Justice Final Rule on Web and Mobile App Accessibility. This multi‑part paper series, developed from nine months of working group sessions and expert presentations, offers a practical roadmap for state and local governments implementing digital accessibility under the new rule. The series covers core components of an enterprise accessibility program, including policy development, procurement integration, remediation planning, training strategies, and testing and quality assurance. Together, these papers are designed to guide state and local IT leaders in building sustainable, enterprise‑wide accessibility programs that strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and expand equitable access to public services.
NASCIO would like to thank the IT Accessibility Working Group Advisory Committee for its work throughout the year. The information and resources in this series were created, presented and peer reviewed by:
Jay Wyant, Chief Information Accessibility Officer, Minnesota, Chair
