The District of Columbia makes available over 200 online applications via DC.Gov that provide access to data and services. The Application Catalog offers a central location to find applications and maximize citizens’ participation in government. The District of Columbia Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Vivek Kundra recently launched the District’s "Apps for Democracy" technology contest that ended on November 13, 2008. Software developers were invited to compete for the best new applications to make DC government data more accessible and useful for the public. Many of the District-built applications and those built by the citizens are listed here. If you know of an application that is not listed here, or you built one and wish to have it listed, please use the "Submit an Application" form. If you would like to narrow your results, please enter your search criteria and utilize the search feature again.
