This week I found an interesting site on the District of Columbia’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer’s (OCTO) website. Trac.gov (Track DC) is a link that anyone with an internet access can pull up on a laptop or PDA. The site is designed to present to the public (D.C. residents in specific) how your city government is working for you. On track.gov a person can check any one of the District Government’s agencies performance, budgeting, or improvement per FY. You can pull up a director’s bio and even check their current status during cabinet restructuring. There is a customer service station that features an agency’s responsiveness. There are also links to the District’s independent agencies such the National Guard or the office of the CIO. Track.gov was one of formal mayor Adrian Fenty’s means of holding accountability with in the city government. It brings government transparency to one fingertip.
