Accessibility
Everyone getsthe same stop.
A station nobody can use is not a station. The same goes for a website. Here is what we have built in, and how to tell us when we have got it wrong.
Our commitment
We design and test this site with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as our target. This is a design goal, not a formal certification or conformance claim.
What is built in
We use keyboard navigation, visible focus styles, a skip link, and structured headings throughout the site.
We aim for readable contrast and avoid relying on colour alone to communicate important information.
Decorative artwork is marked so assistive technology can skip it, while meaningful images are given alternative text.
The site responds to reduced-motion preferences and keeps essential information available without motion.
Core page content is rendered as HTML. Interactive features may still require JavaScript.
In our stations
We work to identify and remove accessibility barriers at our physical locations. If you encounter a barrier at an Orbit station, tell us which station and what happened so the concern can be reviewed by the appropriate team.
Where we know we are imperfect
Directions open into Google Maps, which is outside our control and has its own accessibility characteristics.
This site uses 3D graphics on some pages. They are decorative only and never carry information that is not also written in text. But if any of them causes you a problem, we want to know.
Tell us about a barrier
Email hello@orbitstations.com with the page or the station and what happened. Accessibility reports go to the top of the queue, and we will tell you what we are doing about it rather than sending an acknowledgement and going quiet.
If you encounter a digital or physical accessibility barrier, contact us with the page or location and a description of what happened.
Questions
Ask a person instead.
Anything on this page that is unclear is worth telling us about.
