The Pathway Forward for Mapping Broadband Speeds in America

We’ve built something that can provide your community with more accurate broadband data. Working with our civic tech and startup communities, Louisville Metro created an open-source solution called SpeedUp for you to see the actual speeds that residents are receiving at a census tract level. And, Tech Oregon is about to take on the task of building it for the whole country! We are excited to share that the next step of development will kick off in April at Hack for a Cause in Eugene (OR). They’ll work to advance the technology originally created in Louisville (KY), and make it available to
all cities and rural communities across America.
