Update Emergency Responder Technology
Outfit first responder vehicles with the latest technology to help in navigation, information, and facilitate more accurate reports. For example, outfit fire trucks with tablets that automatically populate when they are assigned a call with address, notes, nearest hydrant location, best route to travel, etc.

Single card to access all city services
It would be much more convenient for citizens to have a single card to access city services instead of a separate card for transit, library, etc.. Better yet, have a smart card with tap technology. People could pay for services on a website which would be then be on the card and not have to visit the transit terminal, citizen service centre, or other city facility to make purchases.
