Digital Inclusion

Digital Inclusion Map

The Digital Inclusion map synchronizes digital inclusion efforts and smart city efforts in recognition of the fact that the digital economy is where citizens are going to be most connected to city services, education, employment and job creation. The Broadband Availability Map has census block level reporting from Internet Service Providers on their maximum download and upload speeds in an easy to understand map. The map also displays neighborhood poverty levels at the census block level along with real-time location mapping of Kansas City Area Transit Authority busses and Kansas City Streetcar Authority streetcars.
