The City of Fremont has invested a significant amount of resources to help ensure that its website is made easier to use and more accessible for people with disabilities, with the strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.

Accessibility on Fremont.gov

Fremont.gov makes available the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget https://userway.org/) that is powered by a dedicated accessibility server. The software allows Fremont.gov to improve its compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1).

Enabling the Accessibility Menu

The Fremont.gov accessibility menu can be enabled either by hitting the tab key when the page first loads or by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears in the bottom left corner of the webpage. After triggering the accessibility menu, please wait a moment for the accessibility menu to load in its entirety.

Disclaimer

The City of Fremont continues its efforts to constantly improve the accessibility of its site and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible, and unhindered use also for those of us with disabilities.

In an ongoing effort to continually improve and remediate accessibility issues, we also regularly scan Fremont.gov with UserWay's Accessibility Scanner (https://userway.org/scanner) to identify and fix every possible accessibility barrier on our site. Despite our efforts to make all pages and content on Fremont.gov fully accessible, some content may not have yet been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be a result of not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.
