COMO Connect adding assistive technology to website
The website for Columbia’s bus system has new features aimed at making it more accessible to people with disabilities.
The website now has screen reader components which can pair with smartphone and computer technology. The aim is to allow every COMO Connect customer to have access to map routes and schedules on a mobile device.
Public Works official Drew Brooks said riders who tested the new features gave positive feedback about the results.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires government websites make all online services, programs, and information accessible for all community members.
