What are Section 508 Accessibility Requirements?

Section 508 requires federal agencies to make all electronic and information technology (EIT) accessible to individuals with disabilities unless it would create an undue burden on the office. The requirements of Section 508 apply to an agency's procurement of EIT, as well as the office's development, maintenance, or use of EIT.

Although federal agencies are required to make all EIT Section 508 compliant, individuals may only file complaints or lawsuits to enforce Section 508's requirements for EIT systems purchased or deployed on or after June 21, 2001. Learn more at FAR Final Rule by clicking here.

Federal agencies have additional responsibilities under Section 501 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. These Sections require that our city:

  • Provide reasonable accommodation to employees with disabilities
  • Ensure members of the public with disabilities can access EIT
  • Take other actions necessary to prevent discrimination on the basis of disability in their programs
