Major Projects/Initiatives

• KYRenew.com - The Transportation Cabinet, working with GOT and an external vendor, Covansys, developed and implemented a Web-based mechanism for the citizens of the Commonwealth to renew their motor vehicle licenses. The Web site is designed to provide information and services regarding vehicle licensing and registration in Kentucky. Inquiry about personalized license plate availability is also included. In addition to the functionality provided to the citizens, this application is also noteworthy as the first adoption of object-oriented design techniques incorporating unified modeling language (UML) in GOT.

• KYEmployees - In an effort to give state employees easier access to the information they need, the Personnel Cabinet and GOT began development and implementation of a Web-based portal called KYEmployees. The site includes a link to ClickHR, which allows users to log into their secure account and see information related to compensation and benefits.

• Kentucky's Unified Criminal Justice Information System (UCJIS) - UCJIS was created with the mission and vision to dramatically improve the sharing of criminal justice information among law enforcement and justice services. As a result of the commitment of the Commonwealth to the vision of UCJIS, a strategic plan and an implementation plan are now in place to guide Kentucky's criminal justice community through the process. In support of this initiative, several criminal justice agencies have pilot projects already underway. This new approach to integrated justice will promote data sharing, improve case management, increase worker efficiency, and most importantly increase the safety of the Commonwealth's citizens.

• KyCARES - KyCARES is an online services/information directory and guide for federal, state and community providers who can help Kentucky citizens connect with providers which offer basic services including housing, food, childcare, transportation, benefits information and much more. From home, the office, the local library or anywhere Internet access is available, answers to service and provider questions are available quickly online.

• The Worker's Information System (TWIST) - TWIST is a client server system for social services that supports case management activities in the areas of child welfare, child abuse, foster care and adoption. The TWIST project team began a multi-year project to re-architect the TWIST application that will ultimately allow the system to take full advantage of today's new and exciting web/browser based technologies. The project will break the TWIST application into smaller, reusable components, provide more up-to-date controls to the workers, and transition the application architecture to an n-tier environment.

• Miscellaneous Taxes Registration System (MIXERS) - The Kentucky Revenue Cabinet and GOT developed and implemented a nonpublic, Web-based Intranet application for Revenue Cabinet workers that contains information about Miscellaneous Tax accounts. The financial transactions associated with each account are posted to the system with worklists to aid the user in verifying the validity of each taxpayer's account information and to ensure that transactions are associated with the correct accounts.
  
  
• Claims Payment Management System for the Labor Cabinet - This development effort was in support of the Labor Cabinet’s objective to migrate applications from the AS/400 environment to client server environment. The main function of the system is to collect and maintain the data required to issue appropriate payments from the Special Fund and the Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis Fund to legally awarded claimants.
  
  
• Licensing System for the Kentucky Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors - This development effort was in support of the Board’s desire to replace an existing nonstandard Paradox database with a system that will integrate all business areas of the office. The centralized database allows for the input and maintenance of all the data required for the issuance and renewal of both individual and firm licenses.

• Transportation Cabinet Fleet Management - During the last year, the Transportation Cabinet and GOT have worked to extend the useful life of existing mainframe applications by applying new technologies to them. An example of this is the mainframe-based Fleet Management System, a Web-front subsystem implemented in 2001. The purpose of the subsystem is to allow the various state agencies to use the Internet to keep management and operational records related to state-owned vehicles that are permanently assigned to their organizations.
  

• International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) - The Transportation Cabinet and GOT worked to deliver a Web-based tax filing system that provides an end-to-end tax reporting system for interstate trucking companies. The system not only enables a company to file and pay its taxes via the Internet, but it also handles accounting, data entry and deposit functions electronically. As a result of the complexity of the tax report, manual corrections are required on more than 50 percent of returns that are filed traditionally. Filing the return via the Internet eliminates errors because the system handles the math. This not only saves valuable state resources, but also prevents added confusion on the part of the taxpayer because of unneeded billings or overpayments.

• Online Weight Distance Tax Filing - Individuals and companies who operate vehicles with a registered gross weight of 60,000 lbs. and above may use an Internet application developed by GOT to report and pay quarterly mileage taxes due.
