Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act

IT Accessibility Key Performance Indicators (KPI)

Recent governmentwide Section 508 assessments show that agencies can improve many aspects of digital accessibility. The GSA Government-wide IT Accessibility Program Team has created KPIs your agency can use to help track progress and enhance accessibility enterprise-wide. Use these KPIs to improve policies, procurement, training, technology lifecycle activities, and more.

Our Mission

On January 18, 2017, the U.S. Access Board published a final rule updating accessibility requirements for information and communication technology (ICT) covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communications Act.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP) is tasked under this law to provide technical assistance to help Federal agencies comply with these requirements, and ensure that covered ICT is accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities.
