A new pilot project of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is bringing high-speed Internet access to multiple NYCHA locations. The Digital Van not only provides Wi-Fi Internet access, but is also equipped with computers and printers for residents to use. According to the van’s driver Dennis Stewart, Brooklyn has been the most receptive, though they have also brought the van to Manhattan and The Bronx.

The Digital Van is open Monday through Friday 10am – 4pm and is parked at a different location every week.
