Why Should You Care About Open Data?

Cities, counties and states provide many critical services to the community that often go overlooked, undervalued or represented poorly by a single incident. By boosting visibility and transparency through open-data initiatives, agencies can better earn respect from citizens who recognize the value that agencies contribute to their quality of life.

Citizen Surveys

Last spring, the city of College Station conducted its first comprehensive citizen survey in four years. The idea was to measure how citizens feel about the services and programs we deliver. In the end, the data helps city council and staff make budget and policy decisions.
