UnGovr Request

UnGovr Request

Graduated

Overview

UnGovr Request is a family of projects that get the right information to the right government agency — whether that information comes from a resident, a connected vehicle, a driver glancing at the road, an emergency operations center, or a citizen who just spotted something worth reporting.

All of these projects share the same core machinery: geocoding, jurisdiction lookup, agency routing, Open311-style intake, and SMS / web / app delivery. What differs is who is sending the data, what kind of data it is, and what the agency on the other end does with it.

Subprojects

⚛
Ireland Building
One front door for non-emergency reports anywhere in the Republic of Ireland, routed across all 31 local authorities and the national operators — bilingual in English and Irish. Filling the gap left when the national Fix Your Street service closed in 2022.

Service Routing Graduated
Non-emergency service request routing with SMS support. Residents describe an issue in plain language; the system classifies it, finds the right jurisdiction, and routes it to the right agency. Live in Ventura County, California — the first project to leave the lab.

Rumble Concept
Vehicle sensor API for road infrastructure reporting. Car manufacturers send pothole, hazard, and debris data — UnGovr de-duplicates, scores severity, and routes each issue to the right city, county, or state agency.

Beacon Concept
Activation-mode public information gathering during disasters. An agency lights a beacon for a specific event — flood, earthquake, wildfire — and the public contributes photos, locations, and short reports into an aggregated incident view for emergency operations.
Disaster response Crowdsourced EOC integration

Dash Concept
Driver-initiated road-hazard reporting from the car's own screen. Through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the driver taps a hazard tile — or says "report a pothole" — and the car's GPS fixes the location in the moment, routed to the agency responsible for that stretch of road. Hands on the wheel, eyes on the road.

Spotter Concept
Public photo reporting for invasive species and pest sightings. Citizens submit a photo; the platform identifies the species, aggregates sightings, and routes notifications to agriculture, wildlife, vector control, or public health agencies.

Why one family

Most government information-routing problems look the same under the hood. Something happens somewhere; someone sees it; an agency needs to know. The hard parts — figuring out which agency, getting the data into their existing systems, closing the loop with the reporter — are the same whether the input is a 311 call, a vehicle sensor, a flood photo, or a spotted lanternfly. Building these as one family means we solve those hard parts once.
