What our crawl found on sonomamarintrain.org
Counts from our October 16, 2026 crawl, which visited 18 pages. Our crawler found 28 public documents on sonomamarintrain.org — an estimated 768 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.

- Other6 · 21%
- Agendas & minutes5 · 18%
- Forms4 · 14%

Long-form reports account for the largest share of this inventory (32%). Their length drives page counts up, but consistent templates usually make them efficient to remediate in batches.

Checked sample
3 of 26 passed(12%)
- Passed basic checks: 3
- Did not pass: 23
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.
26 files is a small sample, so read the rate as a rough sign rather than a measurement. 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 make up 14% of the documents. Forms take the most work to fix, since every field needs a label and a logical tab order.

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 18 pages from https://www.sonomamarintrain.org/ and found 28 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 26 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: October 16, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Frequently asked questions
When is Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2028. Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District 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 Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District's deadline set?
Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District 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 Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District have?
Our crawl on October 16, 2026 fetched 18 pages from https://www.sonomamarintrain.org/ and found at least 28 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 768 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District's documents pass accessibility checks?
3 of the 26 files we checked passed basic machine checks (12%). That is a sample of the 28 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District's documents?
Our directional estimate is $792 to $1,187 with DocoMatic: about 3,958 credits for 768 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District 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.
