Colorado municipalities face increasing pressure to comply with digital accessibility standards, such as HB 24-1454, which extends the compliance deadline for HB 21-1110 to July 1, 2025, for entities demonstrating good-faith efforts. PREP streamlines this process by automating over 90% of document remediation tasks, including tagging, alt text generation, and scanned form conversion. This reduces manual workload, enabling municipalities to meet mandates efficiently despite limited budgets and staffing. “PREP has significantly reduced both the time and cost involved in making our municipal documents accessible,” said Summer Quintana Rapp, IT Tech & Communications Administration Assistant and ADA Compliance Coordinator for Saguache County. “What once took weeks of manual effort is now completed in a fraction of the time.”
PREP supports multiple document formats, handles complex tables and visuals, and ensures compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA, Section 508, and ADA Title II standards. Its flexible deployment options—cloud, on-premise, or hybrid—cater to diverse municipal needs. The platform offers dual workflows: self-service remediation for internal teams or outsourcing to Continual Engine’s accessibility experts via a secure platform. A built-in screen reader preview feature allows staff to identify and resolve accessibility issues before publishing critical documents like emergency alerts, meeting minutes, or budget reports.
Having processed millions of documents and saved tens of millions in remediation costs, PREP empowers municipalities of all sizes, from small towns to large cities, to achieve accessibility at scale. The platform’s automation and expert support ensure compliance with evolving regulations while reducing operational burdens. “Municipalities today are navigating evolving accessibility regulations, rising digital expectations, and increasing public scrutiny,” said Mousumi Kapoor, Founder and CEO of Continual Engine. “We designed PREP to be a dependable partner in that journey, helping local governments accelerate accessibility, reduce operational burden, and deliver real, lasting impact.”
This partnership reflects a national trend where municipalities seek scalable solutions to meet digital accessibility requirements. HB 24-1454 provides a one-year grace period until July 1, 2025, for entities showing progress toward compliance with HB 21-1110, which mandates WCAG 2.1 AA standards for government digital content. Non-compliance risks fines of up to $3,500 per violation, emphasizing the need for tools like PREP to ensure equitable access to public-facing documents.
