Technology Access and Adoption Study
The Technology Access and Adoption Study included a broad survey and focus groups to better understand residents' access and use of technology and internet services, barriers to use, and the support needed to increase access to opportunity. The study guides digital equity programs and grant funding.
The new report and data shows progress and remaining barriers for communities in need. This is also the first Seattle community survey since the passage of the City's Internet for All resolution in 2020.
The study was designed to include diverse voices, collect actionable data, respond to critical needs, and use best practices in responsive community information gathering.
