TAIC Accessibility
Highway-Safety Education Must Be Reachable.
TAIC designs its public website and educational materials to be usable across devices and by people who rely on keyboard navigation, assistive technology, readable structure, reduced motion, and clear language.
Accessibility is an operating responsibility. TAIC corrects barriers within its control, identifies third-party limitations, and provides a direct path for requesting assistance or an alternative format when feasible.
TAIC Visual Accessibility Standard.
The current site uses the original Deep Authority Blue #123B67, Command Gold #C9A227, Slate Gray #4A4A4A, and white backgrounds. TAIC does not use white fonts or lettering: Blue backgrounds use Gold lettering, Gold backgrounds use Blue lettering, and White backgrounds use Slate Gray body text.
Current Measures
Accessible Design Practices Used Across the Site
TAIC designs its public website to be usable by as broad an audience as possible, including users of assistive technologies, mobile devices, and low-bandwidth connections.
📖 Readable Structure
Pages use a single primary heading, logical section headings, concise paragraphs, lists, descriptive links, and consistent layouts that make content easy to navigate with or without visual assistance.
⚓ Keyboard and Focus Support
Interactive links and buttons include visible keyboard-focus indicators and do not depend on hover-only interaction, ensuring usability for keyboard-only and assistive-technology users.
📱 Responsive Presentation
Layouts are designed to reorganize cleanly for desktop, tablet, and mobile widths without requiring horizontal scrolling or loss of functionality on smaller screens.
🌝 Color and Contrast
The site uses Deep Authority Blue, Command Gold, Slate Gray, and White with deliberate contrast rules. Information is not communicated by color alone; visual meaning is also supported by text or structure.
🔒 Reduced Motion
Embedded page styles respect reduced-motion preferences and avoid autoplay content, flashing elements, rotating sliders, or unnecessary animation that could affect users with vestibular sensitivities.
💬 Plain-Language Support
TAIC uses practical explanations and identifies when official, professional, or case-specific guidance is required, so users can understand what they're reading and what to do with the information.
Known Limitations
Accessibility Depends Partly on Platform and Third-Party Destinations
TAIC can control the content and styling of its embedded pages, but global navigation, hosting components, donation-platform interfaces, browser behavior, and external websites are controlled by their respective providers. TAIC evaluates reported barriers and corrects issues within its control as resources and platform capabilities allow.
Third-Party Services: TAIC's website is hosted through Webador. Donation processing is handled through GoFundMe or another identified secure platform. Each provider maintains its own accessibility posture. TAIC cannot control or guarantee the accessibility of third-party services, but will work to identify accessible alternatives when a reported barrier involves a third-party component.
