Travis County Launches Enhanced Web Site With Greater Accessibility for Citizens With Impaired Vision

Travis County, Texas, selected Hamer Enterprises and IBM's Austin-based Human Ability and Accessibility Center to develop and deploy an enhanced county tax office Web site providing greater accessibility to on-line county services for more citizens, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. The Web site, which goes live on August 14, enables users who are blind or visually impaired to gain access to more information on the Web, including on-line forms. "Every individual in this county is important," said Nelda Wells Spears, tax assessor/collector for Travis County. "Allowing all our citizens to interact with government with ease and speed on their own behalf is a goal attained."
