Brown University Study Rates Maine #1 in Accessibility

The State and Federal E-Government in the United States, 2001 study by Brown University rated Maine’s web site first in accessibility. Quoting from the report, "When looking at disability access by individual states, it is clear there is tremendous variation in the percentage of each state’s sites that are accessible. The states doing the best job on disability access are Maine (60 percent of their sites are accessible), Illinois (58%), Minnesota (54%), the U.S. Federal Government (53%), and Connecticut (48%)."
