Customer Support Center Mobile App and Online Platforms

TACOMA, Wash. – During tomorrow's Study Session, the Tacoma City Council will receive an update from Tacoma FIRST 311 Customer Support Center staff on a major upgrade that is currently underway to its mobile app and online platforms. The upgrade will include a new version of the mobile app, available for free starting June 20 on Apple and Android app stores, that will make it easier for Tacoma community members to:

• Notify the City of Tacoma of requests for non-emergency City services.
• Tag locations using enhanced mapping features.
• Attach photos of specific problems/requests.
• Receive timely responses from the City of Tacoma.
• Be notified of specific requests and general City of Tacoma updates.

Since its establishment in the fall of 2013, the Tacoma FIRST 311 Customer Support Center has addressed the needs of more than 500,000 Tacoma community members who have reported non-emergency issues to the City of Tacoma from their mobile devices and computers.
