Accessibility tickets
As part of our goal to be transparent in our accessibility efforts and consistent with our commitment to provide an accessible experience for all of our users, we publish all open accessibility tickets.
Tickets on this page typically originate from internal audits, automated scanning, customer feedback or external accessibility audits.
We welcome feedback from all sources. Feedback can be published anonymously if desired. Instructions for providing feedback can be found in our Accessibility Statement. Last updated July 20, 2022.
