Government in the United States, both at the federal and state level, has become larger and ever more complex. The mission of the Office for Fiscal and Regulatory Analysis (OFRA) is to make government policy easier to understand, reform, and reorient for the good of the American people.
Our open source technology tools help policy professionals simplify and streamline legislative design and rulemaking. Our quantitative analyses highlight major budgetary risks and opportunities. Our voter education products enable the average American, including those not steeped in public policy, to understand its impact on their lives. And all of our work is built to be accessible, transparent, and reproducible.
