Access City Services
Mayor Bill Haslam unveiled 3-1-1 in August 2005
One number, one call is what the City of Knoxville 311 customer service
center is all about. City residents can dial 3-1-1 to access information
about services provided by the City.
Unveiled by Mayor Bill Haslam in August 2005, the center serves as
an easy-to-use direct line to Knoxville government and is designed
to help the administration ensure that services are being delivered
efficiently.
When citizens call 311, a customer service representative will enter
their service request into the City's advanced tracking system and
submit it to the appropriate City department immediately. All requests
for service will have a tracking number so customers can check the
status and get updates on their request.
The 311 system can also provide City managers with detailed reports
that includes such information as response times, action taken, maps
and other data to assist them in better deploying resources and to
make the delivery of City services more efficient.
Information about events occurring in Knoxville, including Boomsday,
Christmas in the City and Festival on the Fourth is also available
by dialing 3-1-1.
About 30 cities and counties across the country have implemented 311
in various forms to handle non-emergency calls since the Federal Communications
Commission approved the number's use in 1997.
Implementing a 311 system was one of the promises Mayor Haslam made
during his campaign and it's one strategy to fulfill the administration's
goal of delivering city services you can count on at a competitive
price.
