協助制定“城市分數”的波士頓街道長(Chief of Streets)奧斯古(Chris Osgood)表示,該小組的目標是提供全國最好的基本城市服務。該作法有助於追蹤進展,並已成功的協助該組為居民提供更好的服務。

BOSTON - Friday, January 15, 2016 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced the launch of CityScore, a new initiative that compiles key performance metrics from city departments every day to provide an at-a-glance view of the City's overall performance. The CityScore dashboard can be viewed at www.cityofboston.gov/cityscore.

"The City of Boston is using data in a way that no city has ever done before," said Mayor Walsh. "I am proud to launch this data platform that recommits us to our pledge of transparency and delivery of excellent city services. This overview of city metrics allows us to take immediate action within our departments to improve city services to make our city safer and smarter."

CityScore is designed to provide a transparent platform that allows people to see a nearly real-time indication of the city's performance. Using metrics that are critical to the overall health of the City, the data is rolled up into a single score that is easy to comprehend. The underlying metrics are also displayed to quickly identify drivers of the score.

In an effort to identify trends over time, CityScore is broken down to track data over a given day, week, month and quarter. Todays launch serves as the first iteration of a platform that will grow, change and expand over time.

"Our team's goal is to provide the best basic city services in the nation," said Chief of Streets Chris Osgood, who helped develop CityScore. "CityScore helps us track our progress and has already been successful in helping us deliver better services to residents. This will be a great tool for us moving forward."

This data allows people to monitor the delivery of city services, and it creates the opportunity to identify areas where the city is excelling and areas in need of improvement.  Scores are determined by comparing current performance to either a target set by the city or a historical performance average.  Scores at or above one indicate the City is surpassing or meeting specified targets or historical averages, scores below one are not.

CityScore currently tracks measures in the following areas: public safety, economic development, education, innovation and technology, health and human services, basic city services and constituent satisfaction.

Using tools that already existed in the Department of Innovation and Technology, the Citywide Analytics Team built CityScore using data generated by the city's departments.
