The Importance Of Accessibility

USA Travel Magazine's Online Publications - Inspiring Virtual Freedom: USA Travel Magazine is reformatting our Online Edition to enhance the accessibility of the site so all travelers so they can enjoy virtual freedom when planning their next adventure.

The Rehabilitation Act - Below you will find related sections of the Rehabilitation Act for information purposes. USA Travel Magazine is not funded or required to make this site accessible. However, we feel that exploring unique and intriguing travel destinations across the nation should be experienced by everyone.

In Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act it states that "no otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States ... shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance or under any program or activity conducted by any Executive agency or by the United States Postal Service."

In Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act a revision was made in 1998 that requires that all federal organizations and organizations receiving federal funding develop, maintain, or procure electronic or information technology that is accessible to federal employees and members of the public with disabilities.
