Asheville, NC transitioned to an open data portal system
Asheville changed the way their city data is handled by transitioning to an open data, self-serve system. The system has increased citizen access to city data while simultaneously reducing the city's workload in making data available reactively. Asheville's public platform allows users to explore and download open data, discover apps, analyze maps and tables, and engage to solve important local issues.
