By visualizing where broadband infrastructure is lacking, where adoption rates are low, and where digital literacy resources are absent, geo mapping transforms raw data into actionable intelligence. Geo mapping creates a shared, evidence-based foundation that allows partners across industries to align their efforts, make the case for funding, and measure progress over time. For organizations, coalitions, and policymakers, it answers the most critical question in this work: where do we need to focus our efforts?
We are working with the San Joaquin Valley Regional Broadband Consortium to create a broadband infrastructure map that will help inform broadband funding opportunities in the Central Valley. The map will integrate broadband availability data, community-driven speed test results, and socioeconomic and anchor institution overlays across Fresno, Madera, Tulare, and Kings Counties.
