On We Are Austin, Sierra Waggoner welcomed Marisa Campbell to break down how the city\u2019s non-emergency service line is evolving\u2014and how a new mobile app is helping residents get support faster and more efficiently.<\/p>\n

Austin 3-1-1 serves as the city\u2019s main non-emergency contact point for service requests and information.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustin 3-1-1<\/a> is the non-emergency number for the City of Austin,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cIf you have a city-related issue, you can call 311, go online, or submit your service request through our app. You can also call if you just need information about something city-related.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Austin 3-1-1<\/a> launched a new mobile app designed to increase accessibility across the city, including expanded language support.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the beginning of the year, we launched our mobile app, and it\u2019s now available in Spanish,\u201d she said. \u201cWe wanted to make it more accessible to everybody in Austin. Now, if Spanish is your preferred language, you can submit your service request in Spanish, and you\u2019ll receive updates and details back in Spanish as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell said the expansion was part of a broader effort driven by the City of Austin to improve accessibility for all residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really important for us to make this accessible for our Spanish-speaking community,\u201d she said. \u201cCity Council tasked us with this initiative, and we worked very hard to bring accessibility to everyone in Austin so service requests can be handled in their preferred language.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mobile app also offers a more streamlined way for residents to submit service requests, including the ability to upload photos for faster response times.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favorite way of submitting a service request is through the mobile app,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cYou can submit pictures with your request, which helps city departments pinpoint exactly what the issue is or where it\u2019s located.\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents can use the service for a wide range of city-related concerns, from potholes to tree removal and seasonal maintenance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe handle things like potholes, fallen trees, objects in the right of way, and with summer coming up, things like aquatic maintenance at city pools,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
