This year marks Kentucky’s highest ranking in the survey, which is in its eighth year of publication.
The state was ranked eighth in the last survey, published in 2006, and ranked 12th in the 2004 survey and 24th in the 2002 survey.
The survey covers topics ranging from technology infrastructure to online applications and new Web 2.0 technologies provided to citizens.
Kentucky is one of only three states to be ranked in the top 10 in the Digital States Survey and the recently released Brookings Institution e-government Study.
“Kentucky’s outstanding position in this national survey is something that both citizens and government employees can be proud of,” Gov. Steve Beshear said in a news release. “It’s also a timely reminder that many government services are available online.
“During these times of rising gas prices, we will continue to emphasize e-government as a way to help citizens avoid unnecessary trips to government offices,” Beshear said.
