Web Accessibility Statement
General Information
In the development of the MNUCP Web Site, the Council has worked towards adding a significant number of accessibility features. These features complement the use of assistive technologies and to help make the site usable to the broadest possible audience, with or without disabilities.
For assistance with the content, function or usability of this site, please contact Thomas Mebrahtu with the Metropolitan Council. Thomas Mebrahtu can be reached at 612-349-7695 or at thomas.mebrahtu@metc.state.mn.us.
Users of the JAWS screen reader: JAWS works with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Support for Microsoft Edge is continuing to improve as well. If you are using JAWS but have selected to use another browser, JAWS may not be able to take advantage of the accessibility features provided within this application.
Note: Once you navigate outside of this site these accessibility features might not necessarily be implemented
Guidelines
In the development of this site, the Council followed the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Skip to Content
All pages contain a 'skip to main content' link for users who use speech browsers or keyboard navigation who wish to avoid repeated groupings of links.
Visual Design
This site uses Cascading Style Sheets to control all of the presentation. Turning off the style sheet will affect the visual presentation and may affect the functionality of the site for some users.
Changing Text Sizes
This site CSS uses relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified 'text size' option in visual browsers.
Images
Images used in this site include a descriptive 'ALT' attribute. Those images which are purely decorative or used for layout include a null 'ALT' attribute.
