Community Connectivity refers to the ability of community members to connect in person and online. Research shows that people with strong social connections to others report higher overall happiness. These connections provide a sense of belonging, help create social support networks, enhance mental health, and contribute to a shared understanding of community identity. Connections are vital in building a strong, vibrant, and resilient community.

Broadband Access

Statesboro and Bulloch County have numerous assets that help aid in community connectivity. First, Bulloch Solutions provides internet services in rural areas of the county that rival connection speeds in major metro areas. This level of connectivity is a great asset for community members and businesses that rely on an online presence for their success. Currently, about 84% of homes in Bulloch County have broadband access.

Public Good Facebook Pages

One way people stay connected and informed about what is happening in the community is through Facebook. Facebook provides an online platform to connect with people they know worldwide. It also allows you to build an online community based on shared hobbies and interests. It can be a way for people not physically close to others (like in rural areas) to find community and connection with others online. Bulloch County has 179 public good Facebook pages per 10,000 people.

Statesboro Area Transit

Statesboro Area Transit operates two bus routes with over 30 stops throughout the city, providing vital transportation connectivity for residents. SAT allows people without reliable transportation to access shopping, healthcare, community events, and more. The ridership of SAT has increased month over month since it began, and is looking at ways to expand service and increase the number of buses. Currently the bus service operates Monday- Friday from 6:00am to 6:00pm. The fare is $1 for a one way trip and $2 for roundtrip. There are discounted rates available for senior, students, and those with disabilities. You can obtain a discount card by visiting the engineering department at City Hall (50 E Main St.).
