To examine the accessibility of VR websites for persons with disabilities, we used the automated tool Bobby to evaluate 80 home pages. We found that all 80 agencies had a working website, though 34 (43%) provided no information about the site's accessibility. Seven (9%) of the websites did not pass the Bobby evaluation. We also examined the types of violations and the relationship between the two agencies' web sites. Recommendations include posting web accessibility logos to inform consumers, and future research to evaluate several pages within the website and evaluate website usability.
