San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has been recognized with a 2025 CIO 100 award for its ingenuity in solving modern transportation headaches. They've done it again, creating a mobile app that simplifies ground transportation enforcement. The "SFOCite" app, which launched in February 2024, marks a significant leap by digitizing citation issuance and management, resulting in improved accuracy and efficiency. According to the San Francisco International Airport, the app has ushered in a 30% increase in investigator field time.

Not one to sit still, Mike Nakornkhet, the Airport Director, has been eager to fully maximize the time enforcement staff spend monitoring SFO's roadways. This app allows them to do just that, ensuring higher standards of safety and compliance are met across various modes of transport. Nakornkhet praised his team, as per SFO, "My thanks go out to our entire team for envisioning a better way of doing business and making it a reality."

Elizabeth Cutler, the Content Director for the CIO 100 Symposium & Awards, highlighted the exceptional quality of submissions the awards attract each year, noting, per SFO, "Winning a CIO 100 Award is a true honor, highlighting the bold vision, strategic excellence, and groundbreaking impact of the most influential CIOs shaping the future of digital enterprise."
