We want everyone, including people with disabilities, to be able to use nyctransit.us. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. Looking for help riding transit with a disability? See our accessible travel guide.
What we do
Text and interface colors meet WCAG AA contrast ratios; our yellow accent is always used with dark text.
Every page can be used with a keyboard, with a visible focus indicator and a "Skip to main content" link.
Menus, collapsible sections and dialogs expose their state to screen readers.
Subway and bus line badges always show the line name as text: color is never the only way information is given.
Touch targets are at least 24 by 24 pixels, and most are 44 pixels.
Pages work when zoomed to 200% and on narrow phone screens.
We do not use accessibility overlay widgets.
We test new pages with automated checks and manual keyboard and screen reader review.
Known limitations
Interactive map: the map is visual. The same information (stations, lines, arrivals, elevator status) is available as text on station and line pages and in the trip planner.
Live data: arrival times and alerts come from transit agency feeds; alert text is shown as published and may contain abbreviations.
Third-party pages: links to operators' websites lead to content we do not control.
