Let's Connect Georgia

GTA Digital Connectivity Program

Attend a Virtual Digital Connectivity Listening Session

Access to a strong, reliable, and affordable internet connection is critical to all Georgians. It drives our economy, underpins our educational experiences, supports public health, and enhances our personal lives. As the state of Georgia makes significant investments to bring affordable and accessible high-speed internet ("broadband") to Georgians, GTA has kicked off a statewide initiative to gain insight from Georgians about their experience with internet connectivity.

GTA and community leaders are hosting virtual Digital Connectivity Listening Sessions in the coming weeks. Several sessions are available.

Why Your Voice Matters

The state of Georgia has been at the forefront of broadband efforts nationwide - with its detailed broadband availability map and robust grant funding to strengthen infrastructure and get high-speed internet to homes and businesses throughout the state.

Now, with additional funding coming to the state for broadband infrastructure and related programs, Georgia is poised to continue to expand broadband across the state.

To support this effort, GTA is seeking to collect input from as many community members and critical partners as feasible. The information will aid in planning for the use of available funds.

Building Connectivity Statewide

Digital connectivity powers Georgia's economy and is crucial to educational success. It advances business, connects loved ones, strengthens social ties, and fosters better public health. However, not everyone has access to reliable, affordable internet.

Many Georgia citizens do not have access to devices and lack the digital skills required to pursue a career. This deficit restricts employment opportunities and limits their participation in the digital economy.

With resources and financial support from available grant funds, the state can tackle the challenges of internet access, affordability, and digital literacy head-on, enabling all Georgians to fully participate in the digital economy and reap its benefits. Bridging the digital divide will create a more connected and prosperous Georgia for everyone.
