The Monmouth University Polling Institute and the Graduate Program in Public Policy have launched an e-government project to examine how New Jersey municipalities use their websites to inform citizens, provide services, and encourage public engagement. During the past year, a total of 540 municipal websites were analyzed for availability of content and ease of use.
As a result of this research, the West Windsor Township website was found to be among the 10 best municipal websites in New Jersey. West Windsor Township received high marks in nearly every category and was particularly noted for online access to citizen transactions.
I am proud that our website has been recognized. Continuing improvements are ongoing and suggestions from the public, our township volunteers, and council are always welcome.
An awards event is being held at Monmouth University on Thursday, March 21, to recognize municipalities that demonstrate best practices in using their websites to inform and engage residents.
