Recent findings from the federal government’s FY 2025 Governmentwide Section 508 Assessment illustrate the scope of the challenge. Federal accessibility requirements have been well established for years and continue to evolve alongside standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. As agencies produce more digital content than ever before, accessibility has become less of a compliance exercise and more of a digital operations challenge. Each modernization initiative adds to an already substantial inventory of digital content. It also aligns with broader government priorities around customer experience, information management and digital service delivery.
