Procuring Accessible Information Technology

The City of Alamosa is committed to accessibility and has adopted procedures for procuring accessible information technology.

Accessible Digital Documents

Microsoft Office and Adobe products are commonly used as communication mediums for the public. The text within these document types can be read by assistive technologies such as screen readers and Braille devices. However, authors must take steps to ensure their documents are accessible to a variety of assistive technologies. For more information about how to improve your document's accessibility, please take a moment to review the resources provided below.

Effective Communication - Assistive Listening Devices (ALD)

The City is committed to providing accessible information and technology, including Effective Communication tools such as Assistive Listening Devices (ALD) in our City Council Chambers.

Adobe Acrobat PDF files

We have a large number of documents in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). In order to improve the viewing of these files, download the latest free version of Adobe Reader. We are working on a process to ensure all PDFs are accessible.
