Access, Affordability, and Adoption
The City of San José seeks to ensure the following:

- Our residents have easy access to appropriate devices and broadband service.
By looking at the "3 A’s"—Access, Affordability, and Adoption—the City of San José will be home to community members that are capable of and eager to utilize the many online and digital resources at their fingertips here in the capital of Silicon Valley.
Coordination + Integration – A Network of Future Ready Skills
With strong program components already underway, the City will build upon the work begun under the Broadband Strategy. They will accomplish this by:
- Increasing access to devices and services;
- Boosting awareness of digital tools and their value; and
- Working with telecoms to provide high speed access to all residents at an affordable price.
Standards + Quality Assessment – Crafting an All-Inclusive Strategy
The development of a City-wide Digital Literacy strategy ensures that all residents are aware of the quality programs and services offered by the City and its partners. This creates a continuum of education, Pre-K through senior citizens. Program quality assessments and experience surveys will provide vital data and drive future decision-making.
