This Website is Accessible

CT DEP is committed to providing a web site that is accessible and usable to everyone.

This web site was developed to conform to Level AAA compliance as articulated by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 W3C Recommendation 5-May-1999 (WCAG). There are, however, some interactive features of the site which visually impaired users will be unable to use due to the features’ inherent nature. If you use an assistive technology and are having problems accessing the content of the site, please contact CT DEP for further assistance.

Access Keys

For those web users whose browsers support access keys, the web site has been programmed so that the primary sections of the site are accessible without the use of a mouse:

Access Key	Destination
x	Skips to the navigation
1	Learn More
2	Activities
3	Parks
4	Home
5	Privacy
6	Accessibility
7	Contact Us
?	Search
-	Sitemap

In general, access keys require the user to hold down either the ALT (Windows) or Control (Macintosh) key while clicking the desired access key. The ENTER key is also required for Windows users. For instance, for Windows users to get to the Homepage, they should type ALT-1 and then ENTER.
