Per internal sources providing info on condition of anonymity: The Department of Labor has removed PEAT, a major digital accessibility resource, previously housed at PEATWorks.org.
PEAT was used by thousands in technology to make sure their designs were accessible for disabled people. It was also one of the few resources on accessible AI.
PEAT has been funded by the Dept of Labor (DOL) for 13 years. The Trump administration has prevented the renewal of a contract under the guise of a “funding pause.”
This comes one day after the Department of Justice removed key guidance and resources relating to the ADA compliance.
