Agency Responsibilities

Those who develop, procure, maintain, or use ICT in a category required to be Section 508 conformant are responsible for ensuring compliance. Do you:

• Request documents be posted on the web site, intranet, or SharePoint.
• Create or procure services to develop websites, software, or other electronic documents.
• Create training material.
• Author or finalize a memo or GovDelivery bulletin for distribution either internally or externally.
• Send an email or document, either for yourself or on behalf of someone, to other internal or external offices.
• Send benefits notices or personnel actions to employees.
• Procure multifunction printers, phones, or other telecommunication equipment.

A highly accessible source product makes it easier to create the Section 508 conformant version. See Making ICT Accessible for more information.

The FHWA Section 508 Core team is not responsible for remediating documents. The program office is accountable for ensuring their 508 conformant products. Contact the FHWA Section 508 Core Team with questions.
