Accessibility Statement

Overview
The Borough of Bergenfield is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all visitors, including those with disabilities. We strive to comply with best practices and relevant accessibility standards to offer a positive user experience for everyone.

Our Efforts

• Guidelines & Standards: We regularly evaluate our website against recognized accessibility guidelines, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
• Ongoing Updates: Our web team and content contributors work to update and refine our site’s layout, features, and content to keep pace with evolving accessibility best practices and technologies.

Accessibility Features

• Structured Content: We use clear headings, meaningful link text, and descriptive alt text for images to help screen readers and other assistive technologies interpret our pages.
• Keyboard Navigation: We aim to maintain a structure that allows efficient navigation by keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse.
• Contrast & Readability: Our design employs color contrasts and font sizes intended to be accessible for as many users as possible.
