New Metro311 online reporting system and mobile app has launched

On June 19, Metro311 launched a whole new online reporting system and mobile app that will make it easier to report issues online or on your phone. The new Metro311 will also let you see issues that have already been reported on a map, and will improve how you track progress of your issue along the way. Information about the app, including instructions for downloading to your phone, will be available on the Metro311 website.

New Metro311 Service Request Information

• Submit a Service Request in the new system.
• Only service requests for the past 30 days will be accessible in the new system.  If you need information on an older request, please call Metro 311 for status.
• Anything submitted in the old reporting system (prior to June 19, 2019) will not show in the new system.  It is still being processed however. Please call Metro311 for status.
• To receive email notifications of the status of your service request you must have an account and you must have included your email address when you created your account. You can create a new account and report a new issue with Metro 311 by following this link.
