The Connecticut Open Data Portal makes state agency data publicly available in machine-readable format to increase government transparency, drive efficiencies, and spark innovation. Agency staff can publish data directly on the Open Data Portal or with the support of the DAPA unit at OPM. For support on publishing data to the Open Data Portal, state agency staff can contact Scott Gaul, Chief Data Officer, or Pauline Zaldonis, Open Data Coordinator.
