Public Access to Data

According to the United States Office of Management and Budget, more than 60 percent of all Internet users interact with government Web sites. E-government will save taxpayers a significant amount of money while adding value to citizens' experience with government and better serving their needs.

ESRI's GIS technology supports Web standards and is often the engine of government portals. ESRI's GIS is used to locate polling places, reserve campgrounds, report on traffic conditions, locate property for lease or sale, report crime statistics, identify planned development, or show the location of emergency events and their impact on the community.

The Internet has given us a whole new way to interact with government. GIS makes that interaction more powerful and gives us the data in a form that makes viewing and understanding easy.
