Planning process

Goals

The Digital Marin plan will outline projects and initiatives to help us reach these goals:

  • Everyone has access to high speed internet and knows how to use it;
  • Public agencies, non-profits, and non-governmental organizations share data, where appropriate, to better serve our communities;
  • Opportunities are highlighted for more efficient, transparent, and customer-oriented cross-jurisdictional and cross-sector service delivery; and
  • Marin has a resilient information network.

Approach & Process

Our approach in developing this plan is:

  • Inclusive and collaborative, involving residents, businesses, public agencies, non-governmental organizations, and education;
  • Community driven to address what communities say is important; and
  • Forward thinking with short-term wins and long-term digital goals.

Our process includes:

  • Conducting public outreach;
  • Inventorying current digital assets;
  • Defining target capabilities;
  • Identifying gaps; and
  • Developing a Digital Infrastructure Strategic Plan.
