Regional governments and initiative citizens of the country have created electronic services, presented in the form of websites and applications for OS, wearable devices, using which one can send appeals on violations of improvement, and in some cases also work of state institutions. The principle of operation is the same: the user, by selecting the appropriate category, creates a message, including in it a brief description of the problem, the exact location and, if desired, a photograph; then the message is checked for compliance with the selected category and clarity and sent to the appropriate department, which, in turn, must give an answer within the stated period and solve the problem. Services for receiving reports of violations in the field of traffic and parking work on the same principle, but are presented exclusively in the form of applications for wearable devices and the use of photographs for them is mandatory.

Government services


Moscow

image The Moscow Helper , released in August 2015, the first seven months of existence allowed only to report cases of non-payment of parking. In the middle of March of the current year, the possibility was added to declare about parking and stops in prohibited places. In the future, it will be possible to make appeals about the cases of parking on sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and lawns. It is possible to send applications only from the place of violation and at the time of its occurrence. To become an “assistant”, you must have an account on the Moscow City Services Portal , for creation of which you need to specify your full name, email address and phone number. Presented in applications for Android and iOS . There is no open information about the number of applications submitted and satisfied.

St. Petersburg


image Developed by decree of the government of St. Petersburg, " Our St. Petersburg " in many respects repeats the look of the Moscow counterpart. To use it, you must specify the name, surname and email address. The response time, “ established by the approved Message Classifier, ” varies from 3 to 30 days . It is presented in applications for Android , iOS and Windows . According to the portal, out of 88,505 applications accepted since March 2014, 62,225 were satisfactorily resolved, but the calculation on the website reveals 61,325 applications in total and 29.604 with a positive decision.

image Users of the application " People's Inspector " have the opportunity to report not only the facts of violation of the rules of parking on the ground for persons with disabilities and on the lawns of Tatarstan. However, using videotapes, you can also report motion:Terms of use are the same as for the “People's control of the RT” system. Presented in applications for Android and iOS . From November 20014 to mid-2015, more than 16.4 thousand messages were created using the application, out of which 1,200 were fined, totaling more than 15 million rubles.

Similar systems have been developed in recent years by the governments of other regions and cities of the country: North Ossetia , Novgorod , Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk , Rostov-on-Don, and others. However, only the People’s Controls of Cherepovets and Chuvashia continue to work out of them.

None of the government services, oddly enough or surprisingly, works according to Federal Law 59 " On the procedure for considering appeals of citizens of the Russian Federation, " according to which citizens' requests to state bodies, local governments and their officials are considered 30 days, not counting the three days allocated for registration. Violation of this law is punishable by a fine of between five and ten thousand rubles . The creators of Our City assure that it is precisely because the service does not work in accordance with this law that users are not required to specify information about themselves in order to use the service. However, according to the Law, to send a request, you must specify the last name, first name, patronymic and address, electronic or physical, that is, less information than is required to work with the applications and the site "Our City".

Independent Developer Services


All Russia


image The movement of initiative citizens for improving the quality of the urban environment " Beautiful Petersburg " created a service to automate the sending of applications for improvement of the settlements " Beautiful World ", operating in dozens of cities in the country , including St. Petersburg and Moscow, and working in accordance with 59 FZ. Applications are accepted with the indication of the name, gender and preferred address, as required by law. Registration is done by email. The service has existed since 2012 as a site, and since 2014, applications for Android and iOS created with donations have been added to it. From the beginning of its existence, 113,707 calls were made, of which 29,001 have a satisfactory solution.

image Another initiative group from St. Petersburg has developed “ Spot ” applications for Android and iOS , which allow making statements about parking violations, namely:and on road pits and road markings or traffic signs. Applications can be saved as drafts and sent after witnessing a violation, since all photos receive electronic stamps about the time they were created. The service operates in all regions of the country, for which it requires registration with the indication of the name, surname and e-mail address, however, the applications indicate the automatically created address in the mail.spoutapp.org domain. Although the applications themselves look and work flawlessly, it is impossible to say this about the department to which they are sending user requests, the traffic police: statements can not only remain unanswered by the inspectorate (this problem is especially acute in Moscow and St. Petersburg), but it can also prevent them from being sent . For this reason, fines are issued in a quarter of cases . Like “Beautiful World”, “Spot” works on the basis of 59 FZ, as well as 707 edicts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs , which makes it possible to bring the traffic police departments violating this law to responsibility.

Also, the RosYam and RosZhKH services created by the Anti-Corruption Foundation , which never had applications for OS of wearable devices, as well as the Angry Citizen project headed by the former Nashi Commissioner of Nashi movement, won the tens of millions of rubles of state orders , but already curtailed their applications for wearable devices. Several other applications created by non-governmental developers to solve the problem of traffic violations were abandoned by their creators.
