New application features flag status change
alerts, election day reminders and professional license renewal
notifications, with more coming soon.
Ever wonder why flags are at half-staff? Thanks to
Gov2Go®, the nation’s first personal government assistant
exclusively from Access Idaho, citizens have a new and convenient
way to stay in the know about flag status updates.
“With Gov2Go, we can deliver half-staff flag notifications and
other important state government information directly to citizens
through the devices they use every day,” said Idaho Governor Brad
Little. “It’s another way the state is increasing transparency and
providing easier, more timely access to government
information."
After downloading the free Gov2Go application at
www.idaho.gov/flag, citizens create an account, then select “Flag
Status Updates” from the services menu. When the State of Idaho
issues a flag status update, Gov2Go alerts users via text, email
and push notification, depending on preference. Alerts contain the
flag status change and the reason for it.
In addition, citizens have other notification services to choose
from, with even more features launching soon. As additional state
agencies and local governments integrate with Gov2Go, the platform
will become more indispensable as a hub for keeping track of
important government alerts, deadlines, reminders, information and
news.
Another flagship feature of the Gov2Go platform is the
professional license renewal notification service for the 90,000
Idahoans who hold a state professional license. Gov2Go proactively
notifies licensees by text, email or in-app message when their
renewal or payment is due to ensure their license is kept in good
standing and to avoid late fees. The Idaho Bureau of Occupational
Licenses and the Idaho Real Estate Commission are the first two
licensing boards to utilize Gov2Go.
Moreover, the Idaho Transportation Department’s Aeronautics
Division plans to offer the state’s 2,800 aircraft owners the
ability to set up renewal reminders via Gov2Go during their
upcoming aircraft registration renewal period. And with the
approaching election season, Gov2Go will help citizens easily keep
track of the numerous general, local and primary election dates
posted by the Idaho Secretary of State.
The state leveraged its existing contract with Access Idaho,
administrator of Idaho’s official web portal (idaho.gov) and
provider of electronic government solutions, to offer Gov2Go at no
cost. The partnership's mission allows government leaders to focus
on delivering on-demand, digital government solutions without
requests for proposals or the use of tax appropriations. Now in its
20th year, the partnership between the State of Idaho and Access
Idaho has benefited more than 40 state agency programs and over 300
local governments statewide.
Access Idaho is managed under a statewide contract awarded to
Idaho Information Consortium (IIC), a Boise-based company and
wholly owned subsidiary of digital government firm NIC.
