Welcome to the Bristol County Regional Digital Equity Plan! We are working on making the internet accessible for all in Dighton, Rehoboth, and Berkley!
Click the plus sign and use the outreach kit to the left to share the text and graphics in your newsletters, on your website, or social media accounts.
Do you or someone you know struggle with accessing the internet? Is your internet reliable and affordable? Do you have access to a working device or router? Are you able to navigate the internet to meaningfully participate in modern day life? If your answer to any of these questions is no, we want to hear from you!
The Towns of Dighton, Rehoboth, and Berkley are working with SRPEDD to create a Regional Digital Equity Plan. This plan will analyze the current state of internet access and digital equity in the area and provide recommendations for the towns to address underserved populations in the towns to bridge digital equity gaps.
According to National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) digital equity is a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy, and economy. We want to ensure everyone in the Tri-Town– seniors, veterans, and those in need – have access to meaningfully participate in modern day society!
A key part of this plan is input from community members.

The best way to get involved with the Municipal Digital Equity Plan is to participate in MBI's Digital Equity Survey and attend the planning workshop or charrette in the summer.
