Coming together to close the digital divide in San Antonio and Greater Bexar County.
Built public-private-community collaboration that developed the San Antonio and Greater Bexar County Digital Equity Plan.
Implement our community’s Digital Equity Plan and partner with City/County officials to designate local, state, and federal funding for initiatives to close the digital divide.
Track and report progress in un/under-served areas, impacting households, students, older adults, veterans, people living with disabilities, workforce, telemedicine, and e-justice.

The DIGITAL EQUITY PLAN proposes initiatives to address barriers to access, including availability, affordability, and adoption barriers. We engaged 140+ community entities through interviews, an inventory survey, and focus groups, identified learnings from local efforts underway in San Antonio/Greater Bexar County today, and researched comparable city benchmarks while developing the plan.
Ultimately, our initiatives will close the digital divide for key population segments including households, students, older adults, veterans, people living with disabilities, the workforce, telemedicine, and the justice system.
