Broadband
Broadband is essential infrastructure for the 21st century. Schools, offices, retail, entertainment, governments, and medical and public services rely on online platforms, offering significant time savings and a digital avenue for economic prosperity. However, broadband is still far from a universal service across the state. Within the SCAG region alone, approximately 15 percent of all households, disproportionately located in underserved, urban communities and rural communities, do not have access to adequate internet service.

Angelenos agree: it’s time to get serious about solving our record-breaking traffic problems. The 100 Hours Campaign was launched to bring together solutions from around the world and start a real conversation about what it will take to turn traffic hot spots into models of mobility.
