Accessability Statement

The Hummingbird Traveler is committed to complying with applicable laws and policies regarding web accessibility. These may include:
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): While primarily focused on physical spaces, the ADA's principles of non-discrimination extend to online services and websites in the United States.
Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA): This Colorado state law prohibits discrimination based on disability in public accommodations, which can be interpreted to include online services.

We view accessibility as an ongoing effort and are dedicated to regularly reviewing and improving our website to ensure equal access for everyone.

2. Measures to Support Accessibility

This website endeavors to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline four main principles that state that websites should be:
Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
Understandable: Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.
Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we continuously review and improve our website to enhance usability for everyone.
