Support Equity for Internet Access and Training
Help PA get connected and stay connected! The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is expected to receive substantial federal funding for the purposes of broadband expansion, adoption, and literacy as part of the federal government’s historic funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The PA Broadband Development Authority (PBDA) is currently gathering input and data for its Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) and Digital Equity (DE) plans.
The PBDA has launched a public survey to hear from residents across Pennsylvania as a part of the planning process. Please consider responding to the Broadband Connectivity and Digital Access Survey. Your participation will be appreciated and is essential to supporting our collective interests in fast, reliable high-speed internet service for everyone.
