Accessibility statement
The City of Linden is committed to making its website, documents and services usable by everyone, including people with disabilities.
The standard we follow
We are working to make this website accessible under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which applies to state and local government services.
Our target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines describe how to make web content easier to see, hear, navigate and use, including with screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech input and keyboard-only navigation. The U.S. Department of Justice has adopted WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the standard for state and local government websites.
What we do on this website
- A “Skip to main content” link at the top of every page.
- Navigation, menus and forms that work with a keyboard.
- Visible focus outlines on links and buttons.
- Text alternatives for images.
- Headings in order, so screen reader users can scan each page.
- Information shown with text, not by colour alone.
Known limitations
Some older PDF documents, such as scanned agendas and minutes, may not be fully accessible. If you need any document in another format, contact us and we will provide it.
Report an accessibility barrier
If you find a barrier on this website or cannot use a city service, tell us. Include the page address, what you were trying to do and the device or assistive technology you used, if you can.

We will respond within a reasonable time. You can also ask for an accommodation to attend a public meeting or use a city service, and staff will help you find a way.
An ongoing commitment
Accessibility is not a one-time project. We review this website as it changes, train the staff who publish content, and update this statement when our practices or the standards change.
