Track: State and Local Government
Authors: Ruben Brambila

The City of Rancho Cucamonga has incorporated GIS technology into the way it does business. Whether it be identifying local parks or restaurants serving healthier food options, GIS is prevalent in nearly every aspect of the city. The City has trained local residents to use GIS as a tool for community engagement. Through the City’s “RC2GO” mobile app, residents can map their way to amenities in the city at the push of a button. Yes, there is an app for that!
