UDR's New Website Follows Section 508 and W3C Website Design Standards and Guidelines

UDR, Inc. (NYSE: UDR) is pleased to announce its voluntary adherence with certain of the Federal Section 508 standards and W3C accessibility website guidelines. The Access Board, a committee created by the Federal Communications Commission, publishes regulations (also called Section 508 standards) requiring Federal government websites to be accessible to disabled members of the public. In addition, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has published guidelines to help make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. UDR has voluntarily developed its website (www.udr.com) to comply with certain of these guidelines and standards in order to accommodate apartment searchers using assistive technologies, including screen readers and text based browsers. The UDR website follows certain of the Section 508 standards and W3C guidelines by providing: (a) A text equivalent for every non-text element; (b) Alternatives for all multimedia presentations, synchronized with the presentation; (c) Web pages formatted so that all information conveyed with color is also available without color; (d) Documents organized so they are readable without requiring a style sheet; and (e) Functional text alternatives to Web pages that use scripting languages to display content, or to create interface elements.
