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
