IDrive Arkansas recognized for leveraging
innovative IT to enhance services and citizen experience
The Center for Digital Government (CDG) awarded the Arkansas
Department of Transportation (ARDOT) a State Project Experience
Award for its IDrive Arkansas platform. The IDrive Arkansas
platform was developed in partnership with the Information Network
of Arkansas (INA) and NIC Arkansas.
ARDOT was one of 10 national winners and was recognized for
using the web to radically improve the government experience while
innovating how services are delivered.
“We are honored to be recognized for enhancing the citizen
travel experience across the state,” said Denise Powell, Digital
Content Coordinator for ARDOT. “By allowing Arkansas motorists to
view real-time road and weather conditions from any device, IDrive
makes it possible to plan safer travel routes and potentially
reduce traffic jams, vehicle accidents, injuries and deaths on
Arkansas roadways.”
As the first interactive travel map in the state, IDrive
Arkansas pulls together current highway construction zones, live
traffic conditions, weather radars, locations of welcome centers
and rest stops, and other critical travel information into a
dynamic, responsive website and mobile app. Behind the scenes,
ARDOT’s Construction and Travel Information System (ACTIS) powers a
robust cross-agency communication hub allowing multiple state,
county and city organizations to collaborate in real time.
IDriveArkansas.com and its mobile app are hosted in the Amazon
Web Services cloud, providing accessibility, reliability and
scalability to over 1 million users per year.
The Government Experience Awards recognize the achievements and
best practices of states, cities and counties that excel at
creating useful online government services and applications. The
Center for Digital Government is a national research and advisory
institute on information technology policies and sets the standard
for measuring best practices in state and local government.
