The Broadband Development Office (BDO) has established TAP to provide additional resources to communities that need help with broadband planning. TAP is aiding local governments and communities by providing assistance to identify local broadband development opportunities and prepare for forthcoming state and federal funds.
All Texas counties lacking the capacity for broadband planning were eligible to participate. Leaders of a county’s Broadband Planning Committee (BPC), as verified by the committee’s certification with the BDO, were eligible to apply. Thirty-two counties were accepted into the program and will have direct access to broadband planning and consulting services at no cost.
Participation in TAP by BPCs allow for each committee’s county to collaborate in the development of a county broadband plan. Each plan provides the BPC and other relevant stakeholders to the county with localized information, resources and actionable items in support of broadband development.
Please select a county on the map to see the BPC's name, the primary contact for the committee and the current status of the county's broadband plan. If you would like to contact the county's BPC, email us for assistance.
