State of Colorado Accessibility Statement

The State of Colorado is committed to providing equitable access to our services to all Coloradans.

Our ongoing accessibility effort works towards being in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, level AA criteria. These guidelines not only help make technology accessible to users with sensory, cognitive and mobility disabilities, but ultimately to all users, regardless of ability.

This website is just part of a meaningful change in making all State of Colorado services inclusive and accessible. We welcome comments on how to improve this site’s accessibility for users with disabilities and for requests for accommodations to any State of Colorado services.

Language Interpretation & Translation

CDPS is committed to language access, which means removing language barriers to ensure the public can engage with our services in a language they can understand.

Examples of language access requests might include:

Translating CDPS webpages or documents into your native language
Oral interpretation in your native language for CDPS meetings or services
Reporting language barriers and errors, such as inaccurate translations of CDPS documents

To submit a language access request or report a language barrier, please contact us through one of the following methods.

Note: For document and webpage requests, it may take several days to receive a professional translation. For quicker translation, we offer Google Translate on our webpages. To use it, activate the “Select Language” dropdown menu in the top right corner of any CDPS webpage. Google Translate works for most, but not all, Internet browsers. Google is a third-party provider, and CDPS is not responsible for the accuracy of the translation.
