BRPC is beginning to draft new web pages for municipalities in connection with Municipal Digital Equity Planning<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/broadband.masstech.org/municipal__;!!CUhgQOZqV7M!ki561Mwy7R--rQVtLNHI5Lmzg7SPGpO_kDkyKaViGtpqTp_lXocdpQACtbCVKtxbqC-IVg0N2cppctb1I702fQ3mJhnlfwzj$> as well as evaluating existing municipal web pages to ensure ADA-compliance (e.g., https://www.ada.gov/topics/title-ii/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.ada.gov/topics/title-ii/__;!!CUhgQOZqV7M!ki561Mwy7R--rQVtLNHI5Lmzg7SPGpO_kDkyKaViGtpqTp_lXocdpQACtbCVKtxbqC-IVg0N2cppctb1I702fQ3mJmGuwTlT$> and https://www.ada.gov/resources/effective-communication/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.ada.gov/resources/effective-communication/__;!!CUhgQOZqV7M!ki561Mwy7R--rQVtLNHI5Lmzg7SPGpO_kDkyKaViGtpqTp_lXocdpQACtbCVKtxbqC-IVg0N2cppctb1I702fQ3mJmydsC_8$>).

I'm curious if anyone has had experience working with a municipality to modify its website to meet Title II and/or Title III requirements under ADA and would be open to providing insights to de-mystify the steps, process, costs, and any actionable and impactful strategies/solutions.

Thank you!
