PocketGov

Idea Category: Smart Government

Problem

Many local governments lack efficient ways to provide their constituents with easy access to city information and the services they need, resulting in an overwhelming number of calls to 311 systems. 

Solution

Mayor Michael Hancock helped launch Pocketgov.com last year, Denver’s online service center, which provides access to city services and information from anywhere, at any time, on any device. With pocketgov.com, users can make a variety of payments, report potholes or graffiti, find property values, sign up for customized services like street sweeping reminders and waste removal notifications, and much more. With new features rolling out every month based on citizen feedback, pocketgov.com is an innovative solution for direct, easy connections to the City of Denver.
