Modesto, CA, February 17, 2026 - The City of Modesto is taking a major step towards government transparency, accountability and community engagement with the launch of City View, a new open data platform going live February 17, 2026.

City View provides residents, businesses, and community organizations with easy access to the most up-to-date data that informs the decision-making process for our City. The platform creates a centralized hub for community members to explore key performance indicators (KPIs) and track the impact of City programs and services. Hosted by Tyler Technologies, City View transforms complex government data into interactive charts, dashboards and visuals that can be accessed from any web browser or smartphone.  

Phase 1 of City View will focus on Measure H, the 1% local sales tax approved by voters in November 2022 and implemented on April 1, 2023. Community members will be able to track programs and projects approved through the annual Measure H spending plans that have been approved by City Council. Ensuring visibility into how Measure H funds are impacting our City and telling the story behind the numbers that are used in the decision-making process.

Phase 2 will expand the platform to citywide programs and encompass all other funds in the organization. For example, funds like Surface Transportation, Water, and Wastewater will showcase its open data behind the work being done in the community to improve City streets, ensure residents have clean drinking water and proper sanitation services.

City View is part of the City’s broader Smart City Strategy, focused on efficiency, data culture, and community well-being. Enhancing the City’s ability to provide crucial information to the public as it continues to work towards improved transparency and engagement with the residents it serves.
