Mayors, chief information officers and city managers at over 300 of the nation's cities were invited to participate. Officials responded to a set of 16 questions and ranked their jurisdiction according to a four-point scale, providing URLs and background data for final verification and validation. The survey grouped cities into three categories based on population: 250,000 or greater, 125,000-249,999, and 75,000-125,000.
