Make your GIS products accessible

As a state government, we are required to make anything we share online accessible to all people by April 26, 2027. This includes all digital maps, applications, and associated products created as part of the Commonwealth's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program. This manual outlines best practices for Esri-specific products. Please use the GIS accessibility contact form if you have questions for the creators of this content: Erica Poisson of DCR-Water Supply Protection, Elaine Brewer of DFG, and Alex Wolfe of DFG.
