What if there was a way you could easily connect with your government leaders on these issues and receive a status update when your particular issue was addressed? What if you could also see how many of your neighbors share your views and concerns? What if you could use visual maps to understand how your community looks and compares to other cities? What if government was available to you 24 hours a day, even on holidays?

Well, at PublicStuff, we’re in the business of transforming these “what if’s” into vibrant realities through the development of our mobile application that will enable people to submit and check statuses on service requests, gather community and geospatial data, and make meaningful connections with their leaders, community organizations and neighbors. This will streamline communication within their community and across local government agencies, eliminating the need to wait in endless lines and navigate frustrating phone trees. What makes our mobile application truly effective is that is backs into our powerful online portal where government representatives can access to manage these requests and interactions and where people can go to gain in depth information. This will allow collaboration between people and their local governments to increase transparency, accountability and civic participation throughout their neighborhoods.
