ACCESSIBILITY
We value the feedback you can give us on the accessibility of Regulation Room. We’ve done and are doing a lot of technical testing (see Accessibility), but we recognize there are many issues about actual usability that automated testers cannot catch. We could not do extensive human testing on our site before the rule opened because we have a strict confidentiality agreement with DOT that we won’t allow anyone not affiliated with Cornell to see the rulemaking materials before DOT formally announces the rule. So, we hope that you will tell us about your experience–positive and not so positive–with the site. And, we would really appreciate volunteers to work with our Chief Technologist, Rebecca Younes (rebecca.younes@cornell.edu or 607-254-4628) in systematic testing of usability of Regulation Room with various assistive technologies.
Your helping us with Regulation Room will ultimately help DOT in finalizing the website accessibility rule. CeRI will submit, as a separate comment in the rulemaking, a summary of our experiences with implementing the WCAG 2.0 A and AA guidelines. Hearing about actual user experiences may be very helpful to DOT.
