Accessibility Statement
Street Gusto — WCAG 2.1 Level AA Commitment
Our Commitment
Street Gusto is committed to ensuring that our website, streetgusto.com, is accessible to all people, including those with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to the information and features our platform provides.
We actively work to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility and the benchmark referenced by the U.S. Department of Justice under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III.
Conformance Status
Substantially Conforms — WCAG 2.1 Level AA
Our most recent automated audit using axe-core 4.10.2 (the engine that powers Microsoft Accessibility Insights) returned zero confirmed violations against WCAG 2.1 A and AA criteria.
“Substantially conforms” means that the content meets the success criteria with only minor exceptions. We continue to monitor and improve accessibility with each update to the site.
What We Have Done
Beginning on March 13, 2026, we conducted a comprehensive accessibility audit and remediation of all public-facing pages, with continuous improvements through March 17, 2026. The following improvements were made:
Screen Reader Compatibility
Every page uses proper HTML landmark elements (main, header, nav, footer) so screen reader users can quickly navigate to the section they need. All form inputs have explicit labels. All dynamic status messages use ARIA live regions so they are announced automatically.
Full Keyboard Navigation
Every feature can be reached and operated using a keyboard alone — no mouse required. A “Skip to main content” link appears at the top of every page so keyboard users can bypass repeated navigation. Interactive maps include a visible “Skip map” link and support the Esc key to exit, preventing keyboard traps.
Color Contrast and Button Visibility
All text meets the WCAG 1.4.3 minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 against its background. All interactive UI components (buttons, toggles, form fields) meet the WCAG 1.4.11 non-text contrast requirement of 3:1 — we audited and corrected border colors across all 22 Phase 1 pages and components. Secondary buttons were updated from white-on-white to a visible gray fill (bg-gray-100), ensuring they are distinguishable from the page background without relying on color alone (WCAG 1.4.1).
Accessible Forms
All form fields have visible, programmatically associated labels. Required fields are marked both visually and with aria-required. Error messages are linked to their fields using aria-describedby and announced automatically to screen readers via role="alert".
Accessible Dialogs and Overlays
Modal dialogs (including the cookie consent banner, testing notice, and commissary detail popups) are implemented as proper ARIA dialog regions with focus trapping, focus restoration on close, and descriptive titles. When a dialog opens, focus moves to it automatically; when it closes, focus returns to the triggering element.
Images and Icons
All informative images have descriptive alt text. Decorative images, icons, and emojis that do not convey information are hidden from assistive technologies using aria-hidden="true" so screen reader users are not interrupted by irrelevant descriptions.
Document Structure and Headings
Every page has a logical, sequential heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) that accurately reflects the page structure. Screen reader users can navigate by headings to quickly find sections of interest.
Collapsible Section Screen Reader Announcements
Accordion and collapsible sections (commissary detail categories, FAQ items, profile builder form sections, and the demo page disclosure) now announce their full content to screen readers when expanded. A dedicated off-screen aria-live announcer uses a clear-then-set pattern to reliably trigger a single, complete announcement — avoiding the “browse mode” issue seen with inline live regions.
Accessible Map Interaction
Interactive maps no longer hijack scroll-wheel input. Scroll zoom is disabled by default and activates only after the user clicks or focuses the map — preventing accidental page-scroll interruption. A “Search by state” selector on the commissaries discovery page provides a complete non-map alternative for browsing by region, satisfying WCAG SC 1.3.3 (Sensory Characteristics). All map controls are keyboard accessible, and an unobtrusive corner badge communicates the scroll-zoom state to sighted users.
Long-form Document Navigation
Policy pages (/privacy, /terms, /accessibility, /attributions) now include a “Jump to section” table of contents at the top of each page, allowing keyboard users to navigate directly to any section. All <section> elements are wired to their headings via aria-labelledby, making landmark navigation in screen readers meaningful.

How We Test
We use a combination of automated tools and manual review:
- •axe-core 4.10.2 — The industry-standard open-source accessibility engine (the same engine used by Microsoft Accessibility Insights for Web, Deque axe DevTools, and others), run against the live production site via automated headless browser testing.
- •axe DevTools browser extension — In-browser element-level inspection of specific components and interaction states.
- •WCAG contrast formula — Contrast ratios for every color combination are calculated using the official WCAG relative luminance formula, verified to two decimal places.
- •Keyboard navigation testing — All interactive elements manually verified to be reachable and operable by keyboard alone.
- •Code review — All pull requests that add or modify UI components are reviewed for accessibility compliance before merging.
Known Limitations
While we aim for full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, we acknowledge the following current limitations:
- Interactive map: Maps now use a click/focus-to-activate scroll-zoom model and include a “Skip map” link and Escape key exit. The commissaries discovery page also offers a keyboard-accessible “Search by state” selector as a full non-map alternative. Complex multi-step map interactions (e.g., selecting specific markers with a screen reader) may still be challenging; we recommend using the commissary list below the map as an accessible alternative.
- Third-party content: Commissary listing images uploaded by operators may not always have optimal alternative text. We are working to provide guidance to listing operators.
- Manual screen reader testing: Our testing has focused on automated tools and keyboard navigation. Comprehensive manual testing with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver is planned.
