tmb.cat, accessible to All
TMB offers its pages with an accessible design and with the goal of guaranteeing universal access to All.

All the pages have been tested and the advise of WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative) and the ONCE (Spanish Organisation of the Blind).

Accessibility Rules
Accessibility rules:

1. Page back: it will be necessary to use twice the command alt-arrow left to go to the back page. Alternatively, the fast access keys that are operated from the keyboard combination section can be used.

2. Hidden text: it is used when the organisation and design of the page do not make the contents fully accessible to the present technological means. This technique is also used when the relevant information on the page is basically visual.

3. Direct access to the main navigating options: it places the page focus on the options that allow navigation.

4. Direct access to the web map: it places the focus on the map.

5. Direct access to the searcher: it places the focus on the editing chart to search for the desired information.

Keyboard combination
A series of key combinations have been defined to enter faster into the most common links. The keys are combined with the key alt-left and only work with the navigator Internet Explorer.
