Every city, special district, and school district in the country is now expected to publish core information online — agendas, budgets, financial reports, public notices, emergency information, and forms — in a way that residents can actually find and use.
The Department of Justice's ADA Title II final rule (April 2024) makes this a compliance obligation. State and local governments — and the public colleges and universities they operate — must conform their websites and digital documents to WCAG 2.1 Level AA:
Beyond the federal mandate, 12 states — California ($4,000 per violation under the Unruh Civil Rights Act), Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, and Washington — have independent accessibility statutes. State open-meeting and posting requirements add another layer: agendas posted 72 hours in advance, financial reports published within statutory deadlines, public records made discoverable.
A district website is not a marketing brochure. It is the system of record for the public.
Each of these has the same problem: a website that residents need, statutory obligations to publish on it, an accessibility deadline that is now active, and a budget that does not stretch to accommodate vendor sticker shock.
TRUST does not gate features behind plan tiers. Every site — from a 5,000-resident special district to a 250,000-resident city — receives the full platform: CMS, ADA tooling, community engagement suite, intranet, premium design, advanced cybersecurity, dedicated content support, custom plug-ins, insurance, and the 99.99% uptime guarantee. Pricing scales only with district population. The sections below describe what is included on every plan.
A state-of-the-art content platform built for the needs of local government — content authoring, file storage, and domain management included.
Tools for the moments residents actually visit — emergencies, meetings, forms, and information they need fast.
Onboarding and continuous training for every staff member, plus expert support for compliance, domains, and .gov.
A built-in compliance checklist for state-by-state posting requirements — the things districts are required by law to publish.
Stay compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA, the new DOJ ADA Title II rule, and parallel state laws — and provide every user a positive experience regardless of disability.
Promote content, advertise events, publish a newsletter, collect forms and signatures, cross-post to social, and accept payments — all from the same site.
Designer-built interior pages, an annual design review, an analytics report for your board, and a library of plug-ins — included.
The same security tooling required for any institution holding public information — included by default at every tier.
A dedicated TRUST representative to help post content, embed third-party tools (maps, calculators), and prepare engagement and compliance reports.
A secure intranet for staff, volunteers, and board members — communications, document management, and back-office templates.
Stakeholder interviews, advanced analytics, and custom plug-ins — rate calculators, mapping tools, dashboards — built to your needs.
Cybersecurity and professional liability insurance, plus a 99.99% uptime guarantee — included.
Pricing scales with the population your district serves. The tier you fall into is set by population — feature scope is identical at every tier. One-time setup is paid once at onboarding; the annual site license is recurring (purchasable in multi-year terms). No per-staff fees. No per-page fees. No surprise add-ons.

From contract signature to public go-live, TRUST runs the migration. We do the work — you review and approve.
A public-facing site is one slice of what TRUST does. Public institutions — schools, cities, districts, utilities — operate under a growing web of transparency, accessibility, and compliance obligations. Most manage them in silos: one vendor for the website, another for document remediation, another for financial disclosure, another for procurement, another for public records. The result is fragmented, expensive, and invisible to the stakeholders who need to see it.
TRUST Terminal is the infrastructure layer that brings it together — site, documents, disclosures, procurement, capital programs, and financial transparency on one platform. Every accessible document, every compliance score, every public disclosure lives in one place, visible to the residents, students, bondholders, auditors, and oversight agencies who need to see it.
We are the infrastructure layer that builds TRUST.
Transparency. Reliable Data. Uniform Standards. Strategic Alignment. Transactional Efficiency.
