Salt Lake City's govtech innovation program is focused on modernization and digital equity for residents. "Another area the department will focus on is integrating the city’s “Digital Equity For All” policy. Passed in September 2020, the policy aims to provide residents with the opportunity to access and use information and communication technologies reliably. The resolution, which was inspired by the importance of technology during the pandemic, aims to incorporate three concepts: relevant content, services, hardware and digital literacy into the city’s policymaking. To achieve this, the department will: increase usage and understanding of digital and communications technology address potential barriers to digital inclusion address the need for digital literacy training address the need for access via reliable and affordable devices address the need for language and disability accommodations develop relevancy and advocacy campaigns within specific communities and populations" https://www.govtech.com/gov-experience/Salt-Lake-City-Mayor-Announces-New-Innovation-Department.html
