BACKGROUND
The District of Columbia was provided with a Transparency, Open Government and Open Data Directive Mayor's Order 2014-170 on July 21, 2104 from the Office of the Mayor.
From the Order:
The District of Columbia government ("District") is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government. Agency heads will work together and with the public to ensure public trust, and an open and effective government by establishing a system of transparency, public participation, collaboration, and accountability that increases the public's confidence in their government. The goal of this directive is to provide a tool for prescribing and institutionalizing change within all departments and agencies.
The District has been a leader in government transparency and open data policy in the United States. In 2001, the Freedom of Information Act was amended to require that certain public records be published online. Since 2006, the District has been making data publicly available on the Internet. In January 2011, Mayor's Memorandum 2011-1, entitled Transparency and Open Government Policy, was issued, recognizing that the District government needed to continue to proactively provide information to citizens, and thereby reduce the need for information requests. This directive implements Mayor's Memorandum 2011-1, to require District government departments and agencies to take the following steps to achieve the goal of creating a more transparent and open government.
To increase accountability and transparency, promote informed public participation, and create economic development opportunities, each District agency shall expand access to information by making it proactively available online, and when practicable, in an open format that can be retrieved, downloaded, indexed, sorted, searched, and reused by commonly used Web search applications and commonly used software to facilitate access to and reuse of information.
