Building Trusted Public Agencies
Envisio’s mission is to build trusted public agencies. Through our research programs, we are ensuring that we build the best tools and services to help local governments build trust with their residents.
But it’s not just about software. Our research is freely available to all. It is conducted with academic rigor and without bias, to help local leaders, and all who serve in different capacities, to work together in building stronger, more trusted communities.

How Envisio Helps
Building Trust Through Transparency
Our research tells us that the more informed residents feel, the more they trust their local governments. We are using this research to shape our products, training programs, and services. We give you the tools to introduce greater transparency, engage in active storytelling, demonstrate competence and integrity, and build trust.

“Being transparent was non-negotiable. When the idea of the sales tax measure was initially being brought up in council conversations, this is how we sold it to the public when we asked them to vote yes […] So all of this is about fulfilling that promise in a radical way, in a visible way, that funnels it back into the community.”
Ria Pavia

“I think it means everything to our community that they can trust that their elected officials are making the very best decisions, and that those decisions are transparent, that there is a foundation for them, that they are part of the strategic goals that we’ve set for our city, and we know exactly what it is that we’re accomplishing.”
