Official U.S. Gov't Portal Wins Innovation Award

GOV'T NEWS

According to a recent Hart-Teeter poll, 86 percent of e-government users want one Web site or easy links to other Web sites with answers to their questions about government services. The poll found clear support for a portal that puts information about services in one place.

FirstGov.gov is the "Front Door" to official government information as well as the Bush Administration's E-Government initiatives, which connect citizens with government. FirstGov.gov helps citizens find and do business with government online, on the phone, by mail, or in person. The site connects visitors to a wealth of information, services and transactions from more than 180 million pages of online government resources from federal, state, and local governments. In addition, FirstGov.gov also provides links to other customer channels the public can choose from, including phone, fax, e-mail and snail mail.

The Innovations in American Government Award is funded by the Ford Foundation and administered by the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in partnership with the Council for Excellence in Government.
