The new White House directive looks to hold agencies more accountable for meeting digital accessibility requirements.Justin Doubleday (Federal News Network)
The Office of Management and Budget should review its strategic plan for improving
management of #Section508. #OMB’s current strategic plan was released in 2013 and
should be reviewed using current information and compliance data.
2. The General Services Administration should publish data on #Section508 compliance.
#GSA gathers and analyzes data on Section 508 compliance twice a year but does not
release it to the public or Congress. Releasing these data publicly will improve #transparency and accountability regarding Section 508 compliance

The Department of Justice should resume reporting on federal compliance with
Section 508 requirements. Section 508 requires DOJ to report on the federal #government’s
compliance with #Section508 every two years. However, DOJ has not issued a report since
2012. In response to bipartisan Aging Committee oversight, #DOJ recently committed to
issuing its first report in a decade.
