What our crawl found on dcta.net
Counts from our September 17, 2026 crawl, which visited 552 pages. Our crawler found 613 public documents on dcta.net — an estimated 32,506 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
Documents by category
- Agendas & minutes337 · 55%
- Other178 · 29%
- Reports69 · 11%
- Forms19 · 3%
- Policies10 · 2%
Meeting agendas and minutes dominate this inventory at 55% of all documents. Packets published from the compliance date on have to be accessible, as do older ones residents still use to take part in a meeting or a process; older packets kept only for reference may fall under the rule's exceptions.
By file format
- PDF 604 · 99%
- Excel (XLSX) 9 · 1%
Checked sample
14 of 42 passed(33%)
- Passed basic checks: 14
- Did not pass: 28
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 42 files we checked, not all 613 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
2% 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.

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 September 17, 2026: we fetched 552 pages from https://www.dcta.net/ and found 615 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 42 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: September 17, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Frequently asked questions
When is Denton County Transportation Authority's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2028. Denton County 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 Denton County Transportation Authority's deadline set?
Denton County 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 Denton County Transportation Authority have?
Our crawl on September 17, 2026 fetched 552 pages from https://www.dcta.net/ and found 613 documents, an estimated 32,506 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Denton County Transportation Authority's documents pass accessibility checks?
14 of the 42 files we checked passed basic machine checks (33%). That is a sample of the 613 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Denton County Transportation Authority's documents?
Our directional estimate is $13,098 to $19,646 with DocoMatic: about 65,488 credits for 32,506 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Denton County 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.
