What our crawl found on cityofwhiteplains.com

Counts from our September 17, 2026 crawl, which visited 519 pages. Our crawler found 26 public documents on cityofwhiteplains.com — an estimated 270 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.

Documents by category

  • Forms19 · 73%
  • Other7 · 27%

This is a forms-heavy inventory: 73% of documents are forms. Forms are the most demanding class to remediate, because every field needs a programmatic label and a logical tab order before a screen-reader user can complete it.

By file format

  • PDF 26 · 100%

Checked sample

4 of 24 passed(17%)

  • Passed basic checks: 4
  • Did not pass: 20

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.

24 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.

This inventory is heavy on forms (73%). Forms take the most work to fix, since every field needs a label and a logical tab order, so they drive the cost estimate below.

These are machine checks on a sample, not a compliance finding, and they say nothing about the people who publish City of White Plains's documents. The file-level inventory, including which documents failed which checks, is available only to verified staff of City of White Plains after claiming this page.

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 17, 2026: we fetched 519 pages from https://www.cityofwhiteplains.com/ and found 26 documents.
  • The pass rate comes from machine checks on 24 of those documents, not from checking every file.
  • Changelog: September 17, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Plan the work before April 26, 2027

With 216 days left, start with the documents people use most and fix the rest in batches.

Where City of White Plains 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.

Frequently asked questions

When is City of White Plains's ADA Title II deadline?

April 26, 2027. City of White Plains 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 White Plains's deadline set?

City of White Plains's total population is 59,559 (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 White Plains have?

Our crawl on September 17, 2026 fetched 519 pages from https://www.cityofwhiteplains.com/ and found at least 26 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 270 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.

How many of City of White Plains's documents pass accessibility checks?

4 of the 24 files we checked passed basic machine checks (17%). That is a sample of the 26 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

How much would it cost to fix City of White Plains's documents?

Our directional estimate is $1,197.00 to $1,795.00 with DocoMatic: about 5,983 credits for 270 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.

Which documents should City of White Plains 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.
