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.

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.

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.

The statistics tell a parallel story—traffic fatalities in the U.S. reached a 16-year high in 2021.
