Community Outreach

Alongside the Texas Broadband Listening Tour, the BDO published a survey seeking feedback from Texans about broadband issues in their communities. The surveys were available in both English and Spanish and accessible online, via a toll-free phone number and in paper form at public libraries and at Texas Broadband Listening Tour events. Additionally, surveys were distributed through targeted email and social campaigns to communities throughout the state.
