Meadows Field Airport, operated by the County of Kern, is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors. Our goal is to comply with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act by meeting or exceeding WCAG 2.1 A and AA standards. We aim to provide an inclusive digital experience across our website and digital assets, making our content accessible to individuals of all abilities.
This statement applies to all digital properties managed by Meadows Field Airport, including:
Our website is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies including screen readers, voice recognition software, keyboard navigation, and magnification tools. We regularly test compatibility with popular assistive technologies and work to resolve any identified barriers.
Meadows Field Airport conducts regular accessibility audits on our digital assets using automated tools (Acquia) and manual testing. During our compliance implementation period leading to full DOJ compliance by April 24, 2026, we are prioritizing high-traffic areas and critical user functions, with remediation occurring in phases based on user impact and accessibility barriers.
Our current focus areas include:
We actively monitor and collaborate with third-party vendors to ensure compliance with accessibility standards. Our website includes a flight status display powered by Aerocloud; we are actively working with this vendor on accessibility improvements.
When third-party content presents accessibility barriers, we will acknowledge your concern within five business days and work to provide alternative access methods or direct assistance as soon as practicable. Additionally, our site may contain links to external websites. If you encounter accessibility issues with any content on our site, please let us know and we will assist wherever possible.
We value feedback from all users, particularly regarding accessibility. If you encounter any barriers on our digital platforms, please let us know. Requests for alternative formats or accessible assistance can be made using these options:
Our team is committed to reviewing all feedback and responding within ten business days.
Meadows Field Airport will provide alternative formats of non-accessible content upon request, including PDFs, images, and forms, in alignment with ADA and Section 508 requirements. We aim to provide these alternative formats within ten business days to ensure equal access. For urgent accessibility needs, please contact us directly by phone for expedited assistance.
We acknowledge that certain existing documents on our website, including PDFs and downloadable forms, may not fully meet current accessibility standards. We are actively working to remediate these documents prior to April 24, 2026. In the interim, if you require an accessible version of any document, please contact us. We will acknowledge your request within five business days and provide an alternative format as soon as practicable, typically within two to three weeks depending on document complexity.
Meadows Field Airport follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Levels A and AA, as well as Section 508 requirements to ensure accessibility across all digital content. We are actively working to achieve full compliance with Department of Justice requirements by April 24, 2026 and prioritize high-impact, frequently accessed content in our remediation plan. Regular accessibility scans and remediation will be conducted to proactively address any newly identified compliance gaps.
We acknowledge that certain existing content, including some documents and third-party integrations, may not fully meet current accessibility standards during our compliance implementation period. These areas are under active review, and our team is working systematically to bring all content into compliance by April 24, 2026. We are committed to providing alternative access methods or direct assistance in the interim, and we will continue to update this statement as progress is made.
