Accessibility
The City of Virginia Beach has made every effort make VBgov.com adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations.

1. Section 508 Standard of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended in 1998, requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology, Federal employees with disabilities have access and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency.
2. To assist in the development of accessible Web pages, the World Wide Web Consortium, through its Web Accessibility Initiative, has developed Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - specifications "providing guidance on accessibility of Web sites for people with disabilities."
3. Additionally, the State of Virginia has also developed accessibility standards for state agency Web sites. The Technology Access Clause of the Code of Virginia, developed by the State Secretary of Technology, dictates the requirements pertaining to non-visual access to technology.
