Center for Digital Government

The Center for Digital Government, in conjunction with the Progress & Freedom Foundation and Government Technology magazine, conducted the 2000 Digital State Survey. This yearlong, four-part study, sponsored by Compaq Computer Corporation, explored eight areas of technology application in the 50 states: electronic commerce, taxation/revenue, social services, law enforcement and the courts, digital democracy, management/administration, higher education and K-12 education.

Each quarter throughout the year, survey results from two of the eight categories were released with the top-10 ranked states in each category featured in Government Technology magazine. Results from the 2000 Digital State Survey are featured below.
