Data Transparency to Build Public Trust

What is happening? Baltimore is creating more government transparency by giving the public access to action trackers to give insight into how projects are coming along. In 2016, when the current mayor served on city council, he passed an ordinance that created a city open data policy.

Why is this important? It is a trust building exercise for local governments and their constituents

How will this be important? It is a perennial question- do people trust the government.
