California State Digital Equity Public Survey:  10 Minutes of Your Time Can Help California and Lake County get more Broadband Funding!

To meet statewide goals, at least 250 Lake County residents must complete the survey by June 30.  Thank you for your support in meeting or exceeding this number! 

Take the Survey

The internet is critical to everyday life. Yet 1 out of 5 Californians do not have access to affordable, reliable broadband internet, devices, or the skills to use them. Due to this gap, referred to as the digital divide, many are unable to obtain jobs, advance in their careers, participate in online education, or access healthcare and essential government services.

The California Department of Technology (CDT) has developed one of the most accessible and innovative digital equity surveys in the nation to help achieve Broadband for All Californians. The survey will help identify digital equity barriers and needs of Californians living in unserved and underserved communities to help inform the State’s Digital Equity Plan, which once submitted and approved by the NTIA, will qualify California for additional funds to ensure that all Californians have access to affordable and reliable broadband internet service, devices, and skills training.

The survey is mobile friendly, available in English and 13 other languages, and has an audio option to hear spoken, recorded questions to collect a wide variety of input, including responses from Californians with vision or reading impairments. The survey also includes an interactive speed test, enabling users to measure their internet speed in real time and report it in their survey response.

10 Minutes of Your Time Can Help California and Lake County get more Broadband Funding!  The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act allocated $62 Billion to improve nationwide broadband availability and access, with an emphasis on unserved and underserved communities. The more input, feedback, and involvement is shown by residents, the more likely California counties will receive the maximum available broadband dollars from the federal government. Part of the State of California’s community engagement effort involves distribution and participation in a brief Digital Equity Survey.  To meet statewide goals, we need at least 250 Lake County residents to complete the survey by June 30. The survey is anonymous and takes about 10 minutes to complete.
