Information on accessibility

This information on accessibility applies to content published on the website co2kompass.bahn.de.

Notes on our information on accessibility
DB Regio AG and DB Fernverkehr AG, which are part of the Deutsche Bahn Group, have made some adjustments and improvements to ensure compliance with the German Accessibility Reinforcement Act ("BFSG"), which transposes the European Accessibility Act (EU Directive 2019/882) into German law, and with the German regulation on accessibility requirements for products and services under the BFSG ("BFSGV").

As the largest provider of mobility services in Germany, Deutsche Bahn has a duty to society as a whole, and we are committed to ensuring that everyone has equal access to our information and digital services.

In terms of technical accessibility requirements, we strive, in line with the harmonised European EN 301 549 standard, for Level AA conformance with the most recent Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2).

The services we provide
DB CO2Kompass allows the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions for a train journey between two locations. By providing comparison values for car and airplane travel, passengers receive a basis for decision-making in planning a climate-friendly trip.

The services on co2kompass.bahn.de are provided based on information and functions made available to all users. The website is designed to be accessible to anyone who wishes to use it: it can be accessed with the help of assistive technologies without information being lost.

A key factor in making co2kompass.bahn.de accessible is that it fully supports the use of assistive technologies to access and navigate on the website. Interactive elements are emphasised visually. Website content is compatible with screen readers and braille displays.

We offer alternatives to visual presentation of information, such as alternative text for photographs and videos. Users can also zoom in and out on website content from their browsers. The website does not have any flashing content that could trigger photosensitive seizures. Animations can be turned off. Support for audio content includes alternatives such as subtitles and text versions of the content.

The structure and content of co2kompass.bahn.de also ensure cognitive accessibility. The content is clear and easy to understand, with clearly labelled links and clearly worded headings. The website has a function that checks input errors in forms, etc., allowing users to correct them.

The website co2kompass.bahn.de has been tested for accessibility according to BFSG and BFSGV. The website meets the accessibility criteria in accordance with EN 301 549 as well as the current WCAG, conformity level AA.
