Newly appointed Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) believes state-level reforms implemented through his program, InnovateOhio, could be replicated at the federal level. Husted highlighted the success of InnovateOhio, citing reduced wait times at DMV offices, streamlined regulatory code, and elimination of duplicate payments. He expressed optimism that the same technological advancements used in Ohio could be applied to federal programs to improve customer service.
There is “no reason” state-level DOGE reforms could not be implemented at the federal level, newly appointed Sen. Jon Husted said during an appearance onhe founded, InnovateOhio, while serving as lieutenant governor of the Buckeye State. Host Matthew Boyle described the program as “kind of like the precursor of DOGE .”
“We started it in 2019 the idea was, it was to use technology to improve the way we serve our customers, the taxpayers of the state of Ohio, and I wanted a group of innovative people to be on the board to help me think through these things,” he said. “So we basically eliminated the need to go into a DMV in Ohio anymore. To renew your driver’s license, we put it all online. If you do need to go there, we allow you to get in line online, so that you don’t have to wait, which is a huge,” he said, walking through more reforms.“We’ve saved 700,000 hours in the past year people previously waited, eliminated 8.7 million visits. So that’s what we’re talking about.
