Louisville Metro Government Digital Inclusion

Improving Connectivity: To achieve digital inclusion, all citizens must be able to access affordable, convenient, reliable, fast, and full (not exclusively mobile) internet access. The problem is partly about infrastructure and partly about affordability. Internet access should be available in Louisville in the same way as water or electricity. Teaching Digital Skills: Train residents in digital skills to increase their employability and ability to participate in modern society. Providing Hardware: Work with partners to provide technology and technical support to in-need residents. Louisville citizens need adequate and affordable hardware, assistive technology, and technical support for those devices. Gaps exist across racial and socioeconomic lines nationwide in terms of laptop and desktop ownership. To take advantage of job and community opportunities, all residents need reliable access to a computer, not just a smartphone.
