Digital Equity in New York State

The National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) provides information, resources, and support for policymakers and community leaders to strengthen digital inclusion initiatives across the United States.  

• NDIA provides an overview of digital inclusion on its “Digital Inclusion 101” page: https://www.digitalinclusion.org/digital-inclusion-101/  

• NDIA has a digital equity scorecard tool that can be used to see how your state measures up. 

• NDIA and The Brookings Institution jointly created the Broadband Research Base, which is a clearinghouse of peer-reviewed research on broadband.

NDIA has released their State Digital Equity Plan Toolkit, which provides details and guidance on how states can develop their own digital equity plan. Through best practices, recommended step-by-step processes, templates, and tools, the Toolkit supports administering entities and your partners in designing robust, comprehensive digital equity plans that lead to impactful digital inclusion programs, policies, and tools.
