Economic challenges in recent years have led many government agencies to stretch out their IT refresh cycles. Where many organizations previously would replace aging infrastructure every three to five years, some are now trying to extend those periods to save money. However, IT experts note that putting off modernization also comes with costs.

Agencies can struggle to stick to recommended three- to five-year IT refresh cycles due to their large install bases, tight budgets and legacy technologies that are not interoperable with newer ones. The Department of Defense wants to standardize refresh cycles across its branches because holding on to aging IT infrastructure has led to widespread frustration over poor user experience.

My father dedicated over 40 years to active duty in the Navy, and with my mother, instilled a strong sense of purpose in me and my two sisters. So joining the Navy felt like a natural choice, taking my oath alongside other young recruits who also valued the importance of having a purpose. As a woman, the leadership skills I gained in the Navy proved invaluable in navigating industries with underrepresented groups.

While I haven't written for awhile, I have been thinking about things at a bigger scale, which will come out in some of the next entries. As I get older, I become a little less doctrinaire, and given that in the US 92% of all trips are by car, I've resigned myself to having to accommodate them. This is less the case in DC than SLC--which is the epitome of sprawl--but it's still an issue in DC.

Salt Lake City and the core of the County have decent transit, although it's best in the light rail transit shed which I don't live in. The problem for me is that my mobility mindset is really shaped by the bike and point-to-point movement, that is going directly from origin to destination. While there are a bunch of bus lines serving my area, and I can get within 5 miles pretty easily riding buses--since my congestive heart failure I am not supposed to drive, and I don't have the stamina to bik

Over the course of time, we’ve written repeatedly about the confusion many Americans have about which level of government provides which services. The example we typically use deals with roads: How many people can tell you whether a road near their home is owned and managed by their city, county or state? The answer is very few. But in the past, we’ve largely omitted confusion about the services provided by localities that are generally thought of as the province of the federal government.

Government agencies that rely on tax revenue to fund critical services and infrastructure are finding it more urgent than ever to bridge the gap between under-reported tax revenue and taxpayers’ understanding of the processes. This is especially true as things like short-term rentals (STRs) have grown in popularity and become new sources of income for residents.

In the years after the COVID-19 pandemic upended daily life, a disturbing trend emerged on America’s roads: driving became significantly more dangerous. Fifty-four percent of Americans now feel the average driver is worse today than before the pandemic, and 40% feel less safe on the roads , according to a recent survey by Verra Mobility. The statistics tell a parallel story—traffic fatalities in the U.S. reached a 16-year high in 2021.
