Expanding Broadband and Cellular Service
Areas in California's 19th Congressional District continue to lack widespread, reliable cellular service. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act invested $42.45 billion, with $1.86 billion to California, to support projects in unserved and underserved areas throughout the country and here at home.
Leaders and residents need to stay engaged to ensure California's 19th Congressional District receives its fair share of this transformative federal investment.
The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program is currently being implemented in California by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Residents of California’s 19th Congressional District are encouraged to review broadband maps developed by the Federal Communications Commission to ensure accuracy and better target broadband infrastructure improvement efforts.
