Accessibility Statement

LAST UPDATED: April 2021
Community Wireless Coalition and its partners and the affiliates thereof (together, “Sponsors,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) are committed to accessibility, and it is our policy to ensure that everyone, including persons with disabilities, has full and equal access to our website and other digital offerings (including services provided on all websites, emails, distributions, and any mobile apps of Sponsors, collectively “website”). Core to our mission is the belief in the power of technology to improve lives and our desire to enhance digital infrastructure in ways that help bridge the digital divide and maximize accessibility and equity.  Accordingly it is our goal that everyone, including persons with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments, is able to use this website in a way that respects their dignity and independence. 

To support this goal, we strive to make its website as accessible and user-friendly as possible to people of all levels of ability, including by seeking to conform our website, at a minimum, to the accessibility standards known as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA, available here. In developing our digital content, we also take into account best practices with respect to principles of universal design, including WebAIM’s Principles of Accessible Design, available here, to maximize the website’s flexibility to different users’ needs and adaptability with assistive technologies.

We regularly evaluate its website across a variety of factors and using a variety of methods, including with the assistance of third-party service providers. This includes, for example, testing across different browser plug-ins, operating systems, and device types. For optimal performance, we recommend using major Internet browsers like Chrome, FireFox, and Safari, rather than Internet Explorer or older browser versions, and keeping your technology up to date with the latest versions of your web browser, assistive technology software/hardware, and smartphone applications that utilize built-in accessibility features on Android and iOS.

We share this accessibility statement with all personnel and third-party vendors who are involved in developing and updating SIP’s website, including web content designers, editors, and developers. 

We view accessibility as an ongoing effort and are continually seeking new solutions that will provide an inclusive experience to all users, regardless of ability. 

We welcome your feedback on your experience with our website. We constantly seek to improve our digital content and improve the user experience.  If you recognize any accessibility issues or errors, or have other suggestions on how we can further improve the accessibility of our site, please bring them to our attention by emailing legal@sidewalkinfra.com. While we recognize that we may not be able to anticipate all accessibility needs, we are committed to doing our best to remove barriers, both hidden and visible, to empower persons with disabilities so they can succeed.
