SALT LAKE CITY -- (Business Wire)
Utah’s Hunting and Fishing application recently received two national
awards from the Center
for Digital Government.
Utah’s Hunting and Fishing services received the Government Experience
Award and the Government Experience Innovation Award. The services were
made possible through a partnership between Utah.Gov
and the Utah
Division of Wildlife Resources.
The Government Experience Awards recognize the achievements and best
practices that government agencies have implemented on the Web and
beyond. Dustin Haisler, chief innovation officer for the Center for
Digital Government, says Utah leads the country in providing hunters and
anglers with the ability to obtain licenses and permits on mobile
devices. The interactive voice services offered on Amazon Echo,
including a recently added Amazon Echo Alexa skill that provides anglers
with Utah fishing reports, were highlighted as an innovation in how
state agencies interact with those they serve.
“Citizen expectations for government are increasingly being reshaped by
their experiences with consumer technologies,” Haisler says. “The
website is no longer the only experience they use—it’s now one of many
channels in their overall experience.”
In addition to the Government Experience Award, Utah’s hunting and
fishing online services received the Government Experience Innovation
Award. This award recognizes the achievements of states that have
radically improved the online experience citizens have with them and
that have pushed the boundaries of how citizen services are delivered.
“We’re honored that our agency and Utah.Gov received these awards,” says
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Director Mike Fowlks. “As the awards
indicate, the online services available to Utah hunters and anglers are
among the best in the country. We work hard to make sure hunters and
anglers get what they need quickly so they can get outdoors and enjoy
Utah’s incredible wildlife.”
