The Infrastructure Department of the state of New Jersey has devised a forward-thinking mechanism designed to make it easier than ever for regular citizens to go ahead and report infrastructure problems and shortcomings that they might come across in a manner that is streamlined and proactive.
Dubbed 'Love Jersey', this smartphone app allows people to report infrastructure problems by helping them compile all relevant information before sending it over to the Infrastructure Department. The app allows users to take up to three photos of the problem, see other similar reports in the area and then convey their complaint, which is marked for location.
By making it possible for people to use apps to report infrastructure, Love Jersey is embracing crowdsourcing for the betterment of the community.
