FEB_08 projects captured “Most Innovative Use of Technology” awards at the Center for Digital Government’s 2007 Best of California event in December. First was the Los Angeles Regional Transportation Management Center (LARTMC), a facility jointly used by the California Department of Transportation District 7, the California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The LARTMC integrates more than 25 technologies, enabling transportation agencies to share real-time traffic information. The project helps agencies calculate vehicle travel times, adjust ramp-metering rates, issue Amber Alerts and detect accidents. State officials claim the project reduced traffic incidents by 40 percent, improved ambulance arrival times by 15 percent and decreased freeway delays by 30 percent. The second award went to the Sacramento Police Department’s Mobile Automated License Plate Reader, which uses digital cameras mounted in police cruisers to read cars’ license plates. In seconds, the reader checks license plates against a database of stolen vehicles, lost plates, missing persons’ vehicles and autos reported in Amber Alerts. An officer reads more than 3,000 plates in a typical patrol shift, according to Sacramento police. The third award went to Riverside for its SmartRiverside Digital Inclusion Program. The nonprofit SmartRiverside aims to provide free Internet access and a free refurbished PC to each of the city’s estimated 30,000 low-income households over the next five years. So far, the agency has given more than 800 households computer training, as well as a PC and wireless access device for Riverside’s municipal Wi-Fi network. 1 5 7 9 2007 Best of California Winners Public agencies and leaders were honored for IT innovations by the Center for Digital Government. www.www.govtech.com/gt/articles/218060 U.S. Post Office Needs Reliable Database The Postal Service considers whether it’s more cost-effective to improve or replace its facility database. www.govtech.com/gt/articles/239225 Postal Service Updates Plan to Reflect New Law The Postal Service updated its Strategic Transformation Plan to show how technology adds customer value. www.govtech.com/gt/161567 Texas Department of Information Resources Releases Five-Year State IT Strategic Plan for information resources management. www.govtech.com/gt/articles/218195 Ready for Digital TV?
