What is the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)?

• The New York State Office for Technology has issued Technology Policy P04-002, Accessibility of State Agency Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications.  This policy requires that all New York State Agency web sites provide universal accessibility for persons with disabilities.  The policy requires that any official New York State web site must meet the fourteen Web Accessibility Guidelines established by the W3 Consortium (W3C) under priority level one.  The policy is part of New York State's compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.
