Description:

Currently, Wayfinder has some accessibility gaps related to keyboard navigation and screen reader support:

1️⃣ Focus Management Issues:
-When navigating using the keyboard, focus is not always retained in key sections (e.g., stop details, search results).
-Focus is lost when closing modals, instead of returning to the previously focused element.

2️⃣ Screen Reader Support:
-Dynamic content changes (e.g., selecting a new route) are not announced properly.
-Some UI elements lack appropriate ARIA attributes, making it difficult for screen reader users to navigate efficiently.

Suggested Fix:

✅ Implement focus trapping inside modals and ensure focus returns correctly when closed.
✅ Use ARIA Live Regions to announce dynamic changes (e.g., when new search results appear or a route is selected).
✅ Improve keyboard accessibility by ensuring all interactive elements are reachable via the Tab key.

Why is this important?

📌 Improves accessibility for users relying on assistive technologies.
📌 Aligns with the Wayfinder GSoC proposal on accessibility improvements.
📌 Enhances usability for all users, not just those with disabilities.

Would love feedback on the approach! 🚀
