Digital equity refers to the fairness of the distribution of benefits of the internet and modern technology throughout society. Digital equity disparities often track other societal equity gaps like income, race, age, gender, and geographic location, among others. Digital equity gaps are now more salient than ever as the past several months of the COVID-19 pandemic have clarified how critical digital access is, and how damaging inequities can be.
The City is developing a strategic plan to guide our efforts to bridge the digital divide in our community.  The purpose of this survey is to gather public feedback on the City's draft Digital Equity Strategic plan.  The draft plan is available here: https://bloomington.in.gov/digital-equity.  Please take a look at the plan and let us know what you think!
