Pasadena, California – Vicinia today announced that Vicinia Compass, its digital experience platform for maps, wayfinding, transportation, visitor engagement, and navigation, has achieved WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, reinforcing the company’s commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and user-centered digital experiences.
The achievement represents an important milestone in Vicinia’s ongoing effort to help organizations create accessible experiences for students, visitors, residents, employees, and community members across campuses, municipalities, transportation systems, cultural institutions, healthcare facilities, and public venues.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are internationally recognized standards for digital accessibility, designed to help ensure websites, applications, and digital platforms can be used by individuals with a wide range of abilities and needs. WCAG 2.2 AA includes guidance related to keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, mobile usability, touch target accessibility, responsive user experiences, and other important accessibility considerations.
“As digital experiences continue to play a larger role in how people access information, navigate spaces, and engage with organizations, accessibility has become a critical priority,” said Farshad Lahouti, President of Vicinia. “Achieving WCAG 2.2 AA compliance for Vicinia Compass reflects our commitment to delivering inclusive digital experiences while supporting our customers’ accessibility goals.”
Vicinia Compass serves as a unified platform for:
-
Interactive Maps

-

The platform is designed to help organizations connect people with places, simplifying navigation and improving access to information throughout the user journey.
In addition to WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, Vicinia recognizes that accessibility extends beyond digital interfaces. The company continues to invest in solutions that support mobility accessibility, physical accessibility, accessible navigation, and inclusive visitor experiences across both digital and physical environments.
Organizations evaluating accessibility requirements during software procurement increasingly rely on VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) documentation to better understand product accessibility capabilities. VPAT documentation for Vicinia Compass is available upon request.
This milestone supports Vicinia’s broader vision of helping organizations create environments where everyone can discover information, navigate confidently, access services, and participate fully in the experiences around them.
