Digital equity ensures opportunities for Fairfax County residents to participate and engage in a connected community. The ability to access, understand and use digital tools is essential for many tasks in modern life, including applying for jobs, paying bills, enjoying recreational activities, completing homework, staying informed and connecting with government/community services.
In 2024, the county developed a five-year Digital Equity Action Plan to build and improve upon existing efforts to close the digital divide in Fairfax County through collaboration, coordination and inclusive community engagement.
