What our crawl found on vta.gov
Counts from our October 16, 2026 crawl, which visited 30 pages. Our crawler found 46 public documents on vta.gov — an estimated 6,414 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
The crawl stopped at its time limit, so every count here is a minimum: the site has at least this many documents.

No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 46% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

Checked sample
10 of 37 passed(27%)
- Passed basic checks: 10
- Did not pass: 27
The checked files are mixed: some pass the basics and some don't. Fixing the templates you publish from now, while working through older files in batches, usually saves the most time.
The rate covers the 37 files we checked, not all 46 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
0% 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 (9%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

These are machine checks on a sample, not a compliance finding, and they say nothing about the people who publish Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's documents. The results for the sampled files are public above. The full inventory of every document we found, with detailed per-file reports, is available to verified staff of Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority after claiming this page.
Files we checked on vta.gov
Links go to the files on vta.gov as we found them on October 16, 2026.
These are automated checks on a sample of files as published on October 16, 2026. They are not a legal compliance finding and don't cover reading order, alt-text quality or table structure. Something wrong? Ask for a correction or removal.

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.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.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.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.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 October 16, 2026: we fetched 30 pages from https://www.vta.gov/ and found 46 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 37 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: October 16, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Plan the work before April 26, 2028
562 days is enough time to work through a backlog in stages, if the inventory starts now.
Where Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority should start
Start with schedules, route maps and paratransit or reduced-fare applications: riders rely on them daily.
Riders need these files to plan trips and apply for reduced fares or paratransit.
Usually owned by customer service, planning and the board secretary.

≈ 22,596 credits for 6,414 estimated pages
- 558 form pages at Level 3 (field labeling and tab order)
- 0 scanned pages (OCR plus Level 2 tagging)
- 5,856 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 Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2028. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is in the 2028 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 Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's deadline set?
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is a special district government, and the Census Bureau calculates no population for one. The rule gives every special district government the later date, whatever the size of the area it serves.
How many public documents does Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority have?
Our crawl on October 16, 2026 fetched 30 pages from https://www.vta.gov/ and found at least 46 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 6,414 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's documents pass accessibility checks?
10 of the 37 files we checked passed basic machine checks (27%). That is a sample of the 46 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's documents?
Our directional estimate is $4,519 to $6,779 with DocoMatic: about 22,596 credits for 6,414 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority fix first?
Start with schedules, route maps and paratransit or reduced-fare applications: riders rely on them daily.
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.
