Solutions for Vermont

Vermont Digital Accessibility + ADA Title II Compliance

Vermont's Agency of Digital Services already sets statewide accessibility policies, and the state launched its Universal Digital Accessibility Initiative to get ahead of the curve. Now the federal ADA Title II rule puts a hard deadline on it — every public-facing PDF on a Vermont government website needs to be WCAG 2.1 AA compliant. CASO Comply remediates those documents at scale so you don't have to do them one at a time.

What Vermont Already Requires

Vermont has proactively built accessibility into its digital governance through ADS policies and the Universal Digital Accessibility Initiative. CASO Comply handles the document remediation piece at scale.

3 V.S.A. Chapter 56 — Agency of Digital Services

Vermont statute establishes the Agency of Digital Services (ADS) with authority to create statewide policies and guidelines for information technology, accessibility, web design, and security across all state agencies.

Vermont Universal Digital Accessibility Initiative

The state has launched the Universal Digital Accessibility project and established a Digital Accessibility Steering Committee to ensure all digital content and services provided by the State of Vermont are accessible to all users.

ADS Statewide Accessibility Policies

The Agency of Digital Services sets enterprise-wide accessibility standards ensuring state websites and systems are accessible, secure, and consistently managed — including web content, social media, and electronic documents like PDFs.

Federal ADA Title II (Applies to All Vermont Public Entities)

The DOJ's 2024 ADA Title II web rule requires all Vermont state and local government web content — including PDFs posted on municipal websites — to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

The Federal Clock Vermont Is On

The DOJ's ADA Title II web rule says “web content” includes documents posted on the site — which means PDFs on Vermont municipal and state agency websites are in scope.

Why Vermont Entities Choose CASO Comply

Clear the PDF Backlog Fast

Vermont towns, cities, and state agencies have years of PDFs on their websites — town meeting minutes, school board policies, annual reports, and municipal plans. Manual remediation isn't realistic for small teams. CASO Comply automates it so you can bring the full backlog into compliance without adding staff.

Stay Compliant on Every New Upload

Vermont's Universal Digital Accessibility Initiative sets the expectation, but new documents go up constantly. CASO Comply catches new PDFs at the point of publishing and makes them accessible automatically, so your compliance doesn't drift between audits.

No Accessibility Expertise Required

Most Vermont municipalities and agencies don't have WCAG specialists on staff — especially smaller towns. CASO Comply handles the technical work — structure tagging, metadata, alt text — so your clerk or webmaster can meet the federal and state requirements without specialized training.
