Website Accessibility

STS Website Accessibility — What You Should Know

​Charles M. Schulz — Sonoma County Airport understands that the Airport’s website must be accessible to all people.

WCAG 2.1 Updates Are Currently Being Made

Substantial progress has been made toward accessibility, however we continue to see areas for improvement. We are in the process of making WCAG 2.1 updates, making the website accessible to people of all needs. These improvements will help all users, including those that rely on assistive technology, such as screen readers.

We are partnered with external WCAG experts to make the site more inclusive — implementing site-wide accessibility changes. This intensive work is being done in phases, and is still in progress. We appreciate your patience.

In July 2021 STS commissioned an external website audit which included testing from visually impaired users and reporting from accessibility experts. Following the audit results, we are making improvements to our website. Our goal is to have all WCAG 2.1 improvements completed by January 2022.

Any content outside of the sonomacountyairport.org domain may be the responsibility of third-party entities. STS cannot assume responsibility for the accessibility of content provided by our partners and contractors, such as partner airlines and external booking sites.
