What our crawl found on montereypark.ca.gov

Counts from our September 27, 2026 crawl, which visited 379 pages. Our crawler found 3,340 public documents on montereypark.ca.gov — an estimated 120,485 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.

No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 69% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

Checked sample

6 of 50 passed(12%)

  • Passed basic checks: 6
  • Did not pass: 44

Most checked files are missing basics such as tags, a document title, a declared language or labeled form fields. Files made without accessibility tooling usually look like this, and they need structural work, not touch-ups.

The rate covers the 50 files we checked, not all 3,340 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.

Scanned share

24% scanned

Most of the collection is digital-native text, which keeps remediation at the lighter end: tagging and structure work rather than OCR.

Scanned images need text recognition (OCR) before they can be tagged.

Forms are a small part of this inventory (3%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

What each check looks for

Tagged structure
The file has a tag tree, so assistive technology can tell headings, lists and paragraphs apart.
Document language
The file declares its language, so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
Document title
The file has a document title, shown instead of the file name.
Image alt text
Every image in a tagged file carries alternative text, or the file has no untagged images.
Form field labels
Every fillable form field has a label a screen reader can announce.

How we measured this

  1. 1.Crawl

    We start at the organization's website and follow its sitemaps and links on the same site. We respect robots.txt and crawl delays, and skip login areas.

  2. 2.Classify

    Each document is sorted by file format and, from its link text and file name, into a category such as forms or agendas. Page counts are estimated, often without downloading the whole file.

  3. 3.Check a sample

    We open up to 50 PDFs and run basic machine checks: tags, document title, language, image alt text and form-field labels.

  4. 4.Publish only with evidence

    Figures appear only when a crawl finds at least 25 documents and checks at least 20 of them.

Limits of this method

  • We only see public pages we can reach through links or sitemaps. Documents behind logins or on other services may be missed.
  • Crawls stop at page, document and time limits. When one is hit, the counts are minimums.
  • Categories and page counts are estimates from links, file names and file metadata.
  • Machine checks can't judge reading order, alt text quality or table structure. Passing them is not WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
  • Figures describe the site on the crawl date, not today.

This page's evidence

  • Crawled September 27, 2026: we fetched 379 pages from http://www.montereypark.ca.gov/ and found 3,340 documents.
  • The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
  • Changelog: September 27, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Plan the work before April 26, 2027

With 196 days left, start with the documents people use most and fix the rest in batches.

Where City of Monterey Park should start

Start with the documents residents actually download: agendas, minutes, permit applications and utility forms.

Residents need these files to apply for permits, pay for services and follow council decisions.

At this size several departments publish documents, so name one owner per department and track progress in one place.

Usually owned by the city clerk, communications and department heads.

Estimated cost with DocoMatic

$74,074 – $111,112

≈ 370,372 credits for 120,485 estimated pages

  • 3,788 form pages at Level 3 (field labeling and tab order)
  • 28,007 scanned pages (OCR plus Level 2 tagging)
  • 88,690 standard pages at Level 1

This is a directional estimate from crawler statistics, not a quote. Run the remediation cost calculator with your own page counts for a tailored figure.

What DocoMatic does

  • Finds the PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files on your website and estimates the backlog.
  • Fixes documents at three levels, from basic tagging to complex forms.
  • Checks every fixed file, with veraPDF PDF/UA-1 validation from Level 2 up.
  • Human review: turn it on when you request a fix, or arrange it with our team.
  • Monitors your site so new documents don't rebuild the backlog.

Frequently asked questions

When is City of Monterey Park's ADA Title II deadline?

April 26, 2027. City of Monterey Park is in the 2027 cohort under the Department of Justice's rule on web and mobile accessibility for state and local governments, with compliance dates as set by the Department's interim final rule of April 20, 2026 (91 FR 20902).

How was City of Monterey Park's deadline set?

City of Monterey Park's total population is 61,096 (2020 Census), at or above the 50,000 threshold in 28 CFR 35.200(b), so the earlier compliance date applies.

How many public documents does City of Monterey Park have?

Our crawl on September 27, 2026 fetched 379 pages from http://www.montereypark.ca.gov/ and found 3,340 documents, an estimated 120,485 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.

How many of City of Monterey Park's documents pass accessibility checks?

6 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (12%). That is a sample of the 3,340 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

How much would it cost to fix City of Monterey Park's documents?

Our directional estimate is $74,074 to $111,112 with DocoMatic: about 370,372 credits for 120,485 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.

Which documents should City of Monterey Park fix first?

Start with the documents residents actually download: agendas, minutes, permit applications and utility forms.

Do older PDFs have to be made accessible too?

Not all of them. Documents already posted before the compliance date are excepted unless they are currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in the organization's services, programs or activities (28 CFR 35.201(b)). Genuinely archived content is excepted too, but only while it is kept solely for reference, research or recordkeeping, sits in a clearly identified archive area and is not changed. Everything published from the compliance date on is covered, and so is any older file people still use to reach a service.
