 BOBBY
APPROVED
roadless.fs.fed.us
incorporates the principles of universally accessible web
design developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and
has been granted the Bobby Approved rating using the
Bobby 3.2 software
program. We
have met Priority 1 Accessibility and are working to achieve
Priority 2 and 3 as well for higher accessibility.
Bobby
is a web-based tool that analyzes web pages for their accessibility
to people with disabilities. Bobby's analysis of accessibility
is based on the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines.
For example,
to become Bobby approved, a Web site must:
- provide
text equivalents for all non-text elements (i.e., images,
animations, audio, video)
- provide
summaries of graphs and charts
- ensure
that all information conveyed with color is also available
without color
- clearly
identify changes in the natural language of a document's
text and any text equivalents (e.g., captions) of non-text
content
- organize
content logically and clearly
- provide
alternative content for features (e.g., applets or plug-ins)
that may not be supported
Bobby is only
one step in the process of making a site accessible to as many
people as possible. Although Bobby cannot guarantee total accessibility
it goes a long way towards making it easier and more efficient
for people with a wide variety of disabilities to access information
online. We will continue to monitor our site periodically
to ensure that we maintain our approved rating.
