At the Department of Transportation, E-Government means the use of digital technologies to transform government operations in order to improve effectiveness, efficiency, and service delivery.
The Office of the CIO E-Government Division is responsible for monitoring and reporting on Departmental progress in complying with the requirements of the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, which requires government agencies to automate their interactions with outside partners and customers by October 21, 2003 to the extent practicable.
Our office provides leadership and guidance throughout the DOT to facilitate the transition to digital government primarily with our work with designated "E-Government Liaisons" from the Department's operating administrations.
Another role of our office is to manage the Department's involvement in government-wide E-Government initiatives. A current example is the President's Management Council's On-Line Rulemaking e-government initiative in which the DOT plays a leading role.
Finally, we develop and promulgate web policy and guidance for the entire Department, while the individual DOT organizations are responsible for the implementation of this policy in the managing of their web sites.
Here are a few examples of our more notable E-Government success stories: - Do-It-Yourself web site makes it easy to make on-line payments using your credit card
- Docket Management System lets the public review and comment on items on the docket
- Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration web site provides real-time, up-to-date information contained in their Licensing & Insurance database, and
- the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has put recall information at your fingertips!
- Our DOT intranet site "DOTnet" has recently received the prestigious Jakob Nielsen award as one of the top intranets.
