The City of Irving is inviting residents to participate in two surveys aimed at gathering insights into the availability and quality of internet and cellular services across the city. The surveys, which opened on October 21, 2024, will help city officials assess the current state of these essential services.
Residents can complete two brief surveys: one focusing on internet usage and the other on cellphone usage. Each survey is expected to take around five minutes to finish. Participation is open to all Irving residents and community members aged 18 and older, with the surveys closing on November 22 at 11:59 p.m.

While the surveys are available online, a random sample of residents will also be contacted for telephone surveys. The data collected will be used to inform potential improvements to the city's internet and cellular infrastructure, possibly leading to funding opportunities for further upgrades.
Once the surveys are complete and analyzed, the results will be shared with the Irving City Council and made publicly accessible online.
The City of Irving has partnered with Finley Engineering, a national technology firm, to carry out the surveys. This initiative is funded by the Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV).
For more information about the surveys, residents can contact Bennie Boysen, bboysen@cityofirving.org.
