The organizations mission was to serve as a catalyst for applications of network technology, getting the projects started, then finding an appropriate home for them. With the mission completed, Smart Valley and their members can look back on projects that made a significant impact on the Valley. Eighty-five percent of the Valley's schools are wired and connected to local area networks and the Internet. Every public school district in the Valley has a technical plan. Bay Area voters can use the Smart Voter website to find election information.
Silicon Valley leads the nation in the deployment of telecommuting.
Public access to the Internet is available through all Silicon Valley public libraries. CommerceNet, one of Smart Valley's first initiatives, is still thriving today as an international advocate of online commerce. In the last five years, the projects that Smart Valley and its members have created have shown the rest of the world the incredible impact that technology can have on the way we work, learn and live. With the basic information infrastructure in place, many of Smart Valley's projects will continue under other organizations. The SmartSchools umbrella program will be taken over by Foothill College's Center for Innovation in Education.
