Digital Equity Dashboard
New data dashboard highlights the "digital divide" in Washington communities
The Washington State Broadband Office (WSBO) has launched a Digital Equity Dashboard to help everyone understand the "digital divide" - the gap between those with access to technology,
digital literacy skills, and the internet and those without.
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOC/2024/05/9512799/digital-equity-dashboard-screen-capture_original.png>
Take the new dashboard for a test drive to learn about the data behind efforts to bring internet to everyone in Washington state.

The digital divide impacts individuals, communities, and even whole countries.
“Access to technology is necessary in today’s world, and closing the digital divide is critical to ensuring everyone has access to this essential service,” said Commerce Director Mike
Fong.
“Bridging the digital divide is not just about connecting people to the internet. It’s about connecting them to opportunity. All the data and every online tool we can provide are stepping
stones toward greater equality in the digital world,” said Aaron Wheeler, WSBO Director.
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOC/2024/05/9512757/digital-equity-dashboard-screen-capture-2_original.png>
The dashboard uses data from different sources to help illustrate the impact of the digital divide in Washington. Access, affordability, and digital literacy are crucial elements everyone
needs to participate in the economy and daily life today. Without them, vital access to necessary services over the internet, such as healthcare, education, employment opportunities
and government services, are limited.
The Washington State Broadband Office will use the dashboard to display and guide our broadband infrastructure and digital equity work. We will update the data regularly to show real-time
progress. We hope organizations, local governments and others will use and share this data to help make choices in their spheres of influence to improve digital access.
Our mission is to enrich the lives of all Washington state residents and businesses by ensuring access to affordable, reliable, redundant and scalable/future-proof broadband technologies,
ensuring the economic viability of both urban and rural communities today and into the future.
