Connecticut has been nationally recognized by the Center for Digital Government for its ongoing efforts to modernize and streamline digital government services, according to a release from Governor Ned Lamont’s office.
The state received an A- grade for the second consecutive year in the 2024 Digital States Survey, ranking first in the country for digital services related to transportation and motor vehicles.
Governor Lamont emphasized his administration’s focus on creating a fully digital state government, enabling residents and businesses to easily access services online.
This initiative includes the launch of platforms such as business.ct.gov, health.ct.gov, and jobs.ct.gov, which consolidate various services into user-friendly portals.
Lamont attributed the state’s top ranking in transportation technology to innovative programs like the wrong-way driver detection system on highways and an online DMV appointment system that has improved service accessibility.
The Bureau of Information Technology Solutions, under the Department of Administrative Services (DAS), leads the state’s digital services efforts with collaboration across all state agencies.
DAS Commissioner Michelle Gilman praised the teamwork involved in Connecticut’s digital transformation.
Chief Information Officer Mark Raymond echoed these sentiments, expressing pride in the progress Connecticut has made in leveraging technology for residents and businesses.
The A- grade highlights the state’s strong innovation, effective governance, and the high-performing solutions applied in digital services.
