Report Card: The Best E-Government Sites (A study of the best state and local government Web sites)
The National Policy Research Council (NPRC -- www.nprcouncil.com), examined the Web presence of U.S. states, counties, municipalities and townships. Reviewers visited 11,227 established official state and local government Web sites for a variety of categories: usability, citizen responsiveness, accessibility for disabled visitors, information tools, online procurement, job opportunities, and interactive permits and payments.
Among these thousands of sites, City of Beaverton was among the top scorers—one of only eighteen (18) to receive an A+ on its score report card.

The E-Government section of the City of Beaverton Web site was selected by the Inter-American Agency for Cooperation and Development (IACD) of the Organization of American States (OAS) as an example of best practices in electronic government. The documentation of our excellent work in online city government management will serve as a model for other countries in the Western hemisphere in their own e-government strategies.
This international recognition we have garnered is for the modernization efforts in the use of Internet technology as a means to improve interaction with citizens, businesses, and civil society organizations, and to make public administration operations more efficient and transparent.
