The City of Grand Rapids is toying with the idea of consolidating the 200+ different City department phone numbers into one: a 3-1-1 Customer Service Center number that would allow citizens to report a service need, pay a bill or ask for information in one place. Full press release:
The City of Grand Rapids is considering a new way for citizens to get in touch with the City. With nearly 200 phone numbers published for citizens to reach the City, it can seem nearly impossible to reach the right department to get things done. A consolidated one-stop 3-1-1 Customer Service Center for all non-emergency needs is being considered.
The City would have two (2) primary phone numbers, 9-1-1 for emergencies and 3-1-1 for non- emergencies. By dialing 3-1-1 from anywhere in the City service area, a citizen will be able to report a service need, pay a bill, or ask for information, do everything you can do today - except easier. With every phone call managed - monitored, tracked, and reported to ensure a high level of customer service.
