One of the hallmarks of the Disrupter Series is looking at emerging technologies and platforms to understand how technology is bringing new benefits to the consumer while disrupting traditional markets and regulatory models. Today we have the opportunity to look at these issues from a slightly different perspective and hear from the experts on the ground evaluating new technologies in their communities. In some ways, no marketplace is more important than the local government where every service is paid for with hard-earned tax dollars using new technologies at the local level in our hometowns so they may efficiently deliver better services to their constituents. Leveraging new technology to provide, measure, and improve service to constituents in our communities is the ultimate goal. There are opportunities to improve education, traffic, and health. We can drastically increase mobility and access to jobs. From safety to sanitation to the environment, communities that wisely invest in technologies can make a real difference in Americans' lives. While funding is an issue we all face, the first step is identifying the local issues that can truly be transformed by connected and other technologies.
