This declaration of accessibility covers the website of Hamburger Verkehrsverbund GmbH, published at hvv.de.
As a public body in the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/2102, we make every effort to make our website accessible in compliance with the provisions of the Hamburg Law on Equal Opportunities for People with Disabilities (Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz), in the following referred to as HmbBGG as well as the Hamburg Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV), (Barrierefreien Informationstechnik-Verordnung), in the following referred to as HmbBITVO.
Within the means available to us we are continually developing and improving our online presence on an ongoing basis. In this, we give high priority to making accessibility to all our contents as high as possible. In order to achieve this we are in a constant exchange of ideas with the Centre of Excellence for a Barrier-free Hamburg (Kompetenzzentrum für ein barrierefreies Hamburg).
Status of compliance with requirements
The requirements for barrier-free accessibility are set out in §1 HmbBITVO in conjunction with §§ 3 Pars. 1-4 and §4 of the Federal German BITV, which was enacted on the basis of §11 HmbBGG.
The audit of compliance with the requirements is partly based on a self-assessment carried out 2019/2020 and partly on a review carried out by service providers commissioned for this purpose. The result is that the website is partly compliant with the aforementioned requirements.
Non-accessible content
The website hvv.de consists of various different applications. These fall partly within the responsibility of hvv GmbH and partly of the transport companies affiliated to the association who present their services there and are therefore dealt with separately in the following pages.
