Missouri ADA Website Compliance Guide

🏛️ MISSOURI: GATEWAY TO COMPLIANCE ENFORCEMENT

3,437 Government Entities across Missouri's diverse landscape face April 2026 deadlines, with documented enforcement in major metros like St. Louis and Kansas City.

🎯 Regional Settlement Activity:
• St. Louis County: $58,000 settlement
• Kansas City Public Schools: $49,000 settlement
• 12 documented cases show increasing Midwest enforcement

⚖️ Show-Me State Standards: Missouri's motto reflects resident expectations for government transparency and accessibility. Digital barriers contradict open government principles.

🏫 Education Sector Targeting: 518 school districts with documented litigation. Kansas City settlement demonstrates systematic targeting of educational institutions.

🌉 St. Louis-KC Corridor Risk: Missouri's two major metros generate majority of state litigation activity. I-70 corridor contains 50%+ of population and government services.

📊 Rural-Urban Digital Divide: 955 cities including small rural municipalities face same federal requirements as major metros but often lack IT resources for compliance.

💼 Economic Development Impact: Missouri's business recruitment emphasizes responsive government services. ADA violations undermine competitive advantage in attracting businesses and residents.
