TID Meeting PhotoEMPOWERING THROUGH TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION

We designed our site to tell you who we are, what we do, where we've been, and where we're going. 

OUR VISION

“We are technology and data informed.” Technology is fundamental to how we function. From our “Go Long Beach” app to permit management software, technology is instrumental to improving the lives of our residents, serving our businesses, and providing a high-quality experience for visitors. It is equally important to give City staff the technological tools and skills to succeed. Our city is committed to creating technology and data-informed solutions to maximize our collective impact and our ability to serve, understand, engage and meet the expectations of our residents. City staff seek a work environment that is transparent, collaborative, and empowering. These growing demands inform the technology mission and vision for the City. Over the next several years, we will invest in vital technology and learning opportunities for all City staff, to improve our resiliency in the face of uncertainties and to foster a culture of civic pride so we may passionately and equitably serve all Long Beach residents.
