Accessibility

Our goal

TripsQuick should be usable by every angler, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard instead of a mouse, magnification or voice control. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, the standard most U.S. accessibility guidance points to.

What we do

• Every page declares its language (English or Spanish), so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
• Photographs carry text descriptions; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
• Buttons and controls have text labels, and the site can be used with a keyboard.
• Text can be enlarged in the browser without breaking the layout, and the site works in light and dark mode.
• We check pages with automated tools (axe-core) and fix what they find.

Known limitations

Maps. Depth charts and the explore map are pictures by nature and cannot be fully described to a screen reader. The same information is available as text: each water page lists its depth facts, boat ramps, campgrounds, species and water tests in tables and lists, and the waters list lets you find a water without the map.

The AI assistant. The chat can be used with a keyboard and a screen reader. Its answers are generated automatically; if a route is shown on a small map, the route names and distances are also given as text.

Third-party content. Embedded videos are played by YouTube's own player, and links lead to agency sites we do not control; their accessibility is up to them.

We are still working through older parts of the site. If something gets in your way, it is a bug, and we want to know.

Tell us about a barrier

Write to [email protected] with the page address and what went wrong. If you need information from a page in another format, ask and we will send it as plain text.
