HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said he wants to make it easier for residents to learn what services are available online.

Shapiro signed an executive order creating a new Commonwealth Office of Digital Experience.

The office will provide improved, user-friendly online services to Pennsylvanians, from renewing vehicle registration to learning about state parks.

“We are going to save taxpayers money that would otherwise go to expensive contracts with external consultants and third-party vendors,” Shapiro said.

The office will be staffed with a full-time team of digital experts.
