Accessibility Statement

Buffalo Township is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 establishes requirements for improving accessibility for individuals with disabilities. These guidelines define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The Township website is designed to comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. While we strive to ensure that all content is accessible, some areas of the website may not yet fully conform. We are continually working to identify and remediate accessibility barriers as part of an ongoing effort to improve the user experience for all users.
