ASCCA Members in the News! |
|
On May 18, the Californians Against Retail and Residential Theft (CARRT) launched their campaign to raise awareness of the growing theft problem in the state. As stated in their press release “CARRT focuses on property crimes that often get overlooked, including porch pirates, petty theft, burglary, smash and grabs, catalytic converter thefts, purse snatchers, pickpockets, etc.”
Also noteworthy is that ASCCA’s Board Member, David Kusa, was quoted in the press release in regards to a side effect of the problem CARRT is trying to solve by saying, “While auto shops aren't generally directly affected by retail or residential theft, we see and deal with the results every day by taking care of our customers' damaged vehicles … Unfortunately, business is booming because catalytic converter theft and 'smash and grabs' with car windows broken are filling auto repair shops.”

ADA website compliance and web accessibility are two terms that are used interchangeably but they are distinct from one another.
ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Courts are construing Title III of the ADA to mean that websites must be accessible. Thus, with ADA website compliance, we're referring to the law.
