1. What we've shipped
- Semantic HTML and ARIA labels on interactive elements.
- Keyboard navigation across every page — Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Escape all work.
prefers-reduced-motionsupport — background animations and entrance reveals freeze when you've set the system preference.- Color contrast tested against WCAG 2.1 AA thresholds (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text).
- Alt text on every vehicle image — including year, make, model, and color when available.
- Screen-reader-friendly forms with proper labels and validation messages.
2. Known issues we're working on
- Some inventory filter sidebars are not yet fully keyboard-accessible on mobile breakpoints. Workaround: use the main filter form.
- The AI chat widget (console.lotpilot.com) is being audited for screen-reader announcements of incoming AI messages.
- Some embedded dealer maps lack alternative text descriptions of locations. Address + phone is always provided as text.
3. Standards we follow
LotPilot strives to conform to:
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA
- Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act

4. Report a barrier
If you encounter any accessibility barrier on LotPilot, email [email protected] with:
- The page URL where you ran into the issue
- A short description of what happened

We respond within 5 business days and aim to ship a fix within 30 days.
5. Third-party content
Vehicle photos and some written descriptions are sourced from dealer feeds. We do our best to add alt text and structure, but the original content quality varies by dealer. If you find a specific listing with inaccessible content, please report it.
