According to DOT, "The PVAT represented a new opportunity to systematically assess the public value of DOT's Open Government efforts."

CTG has updated Opening Gateways: A Practical Guide for Designing Information Access Programs. This guide is designed to help government agencies develop affordable, manageable, and effective information access programs. Since its last update in 2002, technological advances have given us a much broader array of tools and approaches to providing access to information. These advances have created a more diverse community of potential users and stakeholders whose expectations of ease of access and immediacy of information have grown exponentially. These changes, combined with a social and political environment that demands public sector entities be more open and transparent in their operations, have put increased pressures on government to provide access to more and better information through readily accessible means such as the Internet. The type of planning processes facilitated by this Guide are more relevant than ever. Report>>
