The United Way of New York City September 11th Fund aids the victims, their families and their communities. I would say that it has risen the standards of accessibility and response times by city departments.

I personally think that having everything from voting results to lost dogs on the web creates a more educated community as well. Hopefully a more educated community is a more active community. The Web site has improved the quality of life in our community by further opening the lines of communication between city personnel and citizens, by allowing access to a myriad of services online and by bringing attention to various programs. By empowering citizens with knowledge about Irving s programs and policies through a centralized and detailed Web site, the city provides a higher and more efficient level of customer service. The city s ultimate goal is to provide the citizens, businesses, and visitors with the information they need and eliminate the need for them to come to a city facilities to conduct business.
