About 311
The City of Evanston’s 311 Initiative, which includes a call center and an online citizen support center, went live on March 1, 2011.
Your Key to the City
311 service is now available online anytime or by dialing 3-1-1 (847-448-4311 outside the city) 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The goal of 311 is to improve customer service city-wide by:
- Providing an easy to remember phone number for all non-emergency city services.
- Providing 24/7 access to city information through a web portal that will allow citizens to submit requests for service, ask questions, and track the status of their open requests.
- Utilizing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology to address information and service requests in a more efficient manner.
- Improving accessibility of city services to all constituents via phone and internet.
- Providing exceptional customer service to all residents, businesses and visitors.
- Improving staff accountability in providing non-emergency services to constituents.
