As part of the Digital Accessibility Strategic Initiative, we are relaunching the ITS web Accessibility Scanning Service.
This service provides the tools and data for units to understand the accessibility status of their web properties and take strategic action.
From December 2024 to February 2025, we are reaching out to units, seeking appropriate assigned resources for defined roles to make use of this service. We are collecting assigned names in this spreadsheet ahead of onboarding.
