Webinar 1: Broadband Infrastructure Local Agency Technical Assistance

In its ongoing commitment to bridging the digital divide, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) established the Local Agency Technical Assistance grant program for eligible pre-construction work that facilitates last-mile broadband infrastructure projects.

The program has a streamlined process for awarding $50 million to eligible local agencies and Tribal entities in California by the end of 2026, including a $5 million set-aside for Tribes. Applications will be made available in early May. SCAG can provide letters of support to help with the application process, please contact Roland Ok at ok@scag.ca.gov for more information. Learn more about the program at an upcoming webinar on April 5 and April 19. Visit the CPUC website for more information and eligibility requirements.
