Title

Overview: Operational Data Standard

Is the document correctly named and formatted?

• Did you start the filename with Cal-ITP?
• Did you remove all spaces between words in the filename? The only acceptable characters in the filename are letters, numbers, -, . and _.
• Did you ensure there are no revision dates or numbers in the filename? Limit usage of revision numbers or dates unless commonly understood and expected by the audience. Avoid report-june-2024.pdf, file-v1.2.pdf. Allowed GTFS-guidlines-v3.pdf, as version 3 is an official version number.

@mrose914 this is another one pager we took to conferences. I had a harder time with this one making it through the accessibility checker, so I left both items marked as "needs manual check" alone, but happy to do whatever is needed. Here's the report it generated:
Cal-ITP_ODS_One_pager.pdf.accreport 2.html.zip

@mrose914 can you please do the manual review of this PDF for accessibility concerns and reply in this ticket when you have confirmed it is good to go?

[mrose914]

Yup, will do today!

[mrose914]

@thekaveman manual check all set. Logical reading order and color contrast lgtm.

As a side note, it would probably be good to go through our Cal-ITP colors and make sure the color combinations pass contrast/that we define acceptable and unacceptable combinations. There doesn't seem to be an amazing way to streamline manual accessibility checks but that may be a step in the right direction. Tools like this can help: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/. Will add to my longer term backlog of TODOs.

I believe Segacy had done extensive checking and reworking of the Cal-ITP color schemes (for the websites at least) to be accessibility compliant before she went out.

I just took a look at the one-pager and tested with the Figma tool we use (Stark). Everything passes to AAA WCAG standards (the highest accessibility standard for web text) except for the blue subheading (e.g. Reduce cost and improve efficiency) which is hex code 046B99. I believe we updated that color (also known at Cal-ITP blue) to 045B86. So it looks like Segacy might have just been using the out of date color. I can change that in the Figma file now if that's preferable, but will need some guidance on creating PDFs

@srhhnry thank you for this info! Glad there is a tool that is simpler than some of what I'm seeing. Let me find a few mins and we can sync - would love to get your thoughts on how to promote accessible colors/design for others across Cal-ITP, too. For this particular doc, let's please change to the updated Cal-ITP blue so we can proceed with the upload to the website. Thank you!

[srhhnry]

Subheaders are updated to the new Cal-ITP blue (edit: in the Figma file). I also noticed there is a light grey page 1 at the bottom that also does not pass accessibility tests. I can see why it's light (to detract emphasis) but should I increase the contrast on that as well? I would argue we don't need it if there's...only one page.

[mrose914]

Chatted with @srhhnry. Let's remove the page number.

As for next steps:

• @srhhnry will help put together some guidelines for how to produce accessible pdfs
• @mrose914 will send some pdfs over to Sarah for a mini audit using the new Figma tools
• @mrose914 will share results + guidelines with broader team to start to move towards standardizing and improving our pdf production for accessibility going forward

@srhhnry thank you! Could you please link me or export the updated pdf here?
