Again, Colorado and Vermont are much further ahead than other states. The state of Georgia has a <a hreflang="en" href="https://digital.georgia.gov/services/govhub">central Drupal installation</a> managed through a central agency, does this explain why it is in the top 5? Colorado has established a centralized <a hreflang="en" href="https://oit.colorado.gov/colorado-digital-service">digital service organization</a>, <a hreflang="en" href="https://oit.colorado.gov/accessibility-law">new accessibility legislation</a> and now has an average of 95%. Pennsylvania's state average is much lower at 82% but they also have a new <a hreflang="en" href="https://code.oa.pa.gov/">digital experience team</a> established in 2023.

US state and local governments will now all be required to be fully WCAG 2.1 AA compliant. The compliance date depends on the size of their population but will be either April 2026 or April 2027. It will be important to measure how US states comply with this new regulation. We should see improvements in these numbers.
