Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association (“Colorado PERA”) Technology Accessibility Statement
Colorado PERA is committed to providing equitable access to our services to all Coloradans.
Our ongoing accessibility effort works towards being in line with Colorado law, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1. These guidelines not only help make technology accessible to users with sensory, cognitive and mobility disabilities, but ultimately to all users, regardless of ability.
Our efforts are just part of a meaningful change in making all our services inclusive and accessible. We welcome comments on how to improve our technology’s accessibility for users with disabilities and for requests for accommodations to any Colorado PERA services.
