New technological opportunities and increasing demands make it imperative that government agencies make the information they gather available to citizens. How should they go about this? This paper explores the information strategies open to the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management in the Netherlands. This agency gathers traffic information which is useful for citizens when they want to avoid traffic jams. Presently, the agency sells information to intermediaries. The agency wanted to release the information through its own website but a court ruling prohibited this. This paper reviews other strategies and concludes that an 'Intel inside' strategy may be a viable option in view of the consequences for effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy.
