BPDD has placed an intern at the Department of Transportation through our new Disability Policy Program.  Matt is working on a project to review the accessibility of the Department of Transportation website.  He asked me to reach out to some of my contacts to see if you or anyone you work with would be interested in participating in this project.  See his invite below.  I have included him on the email so you can send any questions you might have about the project. 

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Needs Your Help.

We are looking for people to take an online survey regarding the accessibility of the WisDOT website.  This group will help make access better for everyone.

What will you do?

• Try some basic tasks on our website.
• Share how easy or hard it was to use the site with your technology.
• Tell us about problems you find.

Why is this important?
Your feedback will help make the website work better for all people in Wisconsin.  We want everyone to be able to get transportation information easily.

Who should join?

We want to hear from people who:

• Use screen readers or other assistive technology.
• Have different ways of using computers and websites.
• Have had trouble using the WisDOT website before.

Your real-life experience is very valuable to us.  The problems you find today will help us make better changes tomorrow. 

If you want to help, please reply to this email at: matt.glowacki@dot.wi.gov

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Matt Glowacki
