Mayor Hahn Proclaims 3-1-1 Day in the City of Los Angeles
March 11, 2003 - Press Release

Hello all,

The Mayor has proclaimed today, March 11, 2003 as 3-1-1 Day in the City of Los Angeles.

The 3-1-1 system consolidates city service telephone numbers into one easy-to-remember number that city residents, businesses and visitors can call for city information and non-emergency services.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to give me a call.

Thanks.

Lupe Franco-Butler
Eastside Area Director
Office of Mayor James K. Hahn

EDITOR'S NOTE: I've been told that dialing 3-1-1 from a cellphone or most payphones may not work. Unless you are on a cellphone on the Cingular network you will have to instead dial:

1 - 866 / 452-2489

or as the city puts it:

1 - 866 / 4LACITY

It's probably not a bad idea to keep this real number handy as 3-1-1 will also probably be blocked by most PBX phone systems in many offices.

MAYOR HAHN PROCLAIMS 3-1-1 DAY IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES - Mayor Jim Hahn today officially proclaimed March 11, 2003 as 3-1-1 day in the City of Los Angeles.

"As part of my commitment to providing every resident, business and visitor to Los Angeles with world-class customer service, I am proclaiming today, March 11, 2003 as 3-1-1 day in the City of Los Angeles," said Mayor Hahn. "The 3-1-1 program gives residents easy access to any service with 'one call to City Hall.'

The 3-1-1 system consolidates city service telephone numbers into one easy-to-remember number that city residents, businesses and visitors can call for city information and non-emergency services.

Customers can also dial 3-1-1 during non-business hours, including weekends and holidays, to request bulky item pick-up. Additional pilot service requests for 3-1-1 are scheduled to begin soon while the City develops a comprehensive service request system where "one call does it all."

Since 3-1-1 was implemented in November 2002, calls to the city's 9-1-1 system have decreased by 5 percent. The reduction in non-emergency calls has enabled law enforcement to better respond to true emergencies.

MAYOR HAHN ANNOUNCES NEW ONLINE SERVICE TO PAY PARKING TICKETS

LOS ANGELES - Mayor Jim Hahn today with the Department of Transportation and its parking citation contractor, Affiliated Computer Services, announced a new online service the public can use to pay parking citations on the internet.

"This new online service gives our residents and visitors another easy and quick option for paying a parking ticket," said Mayor Hahn.

The new online service allows parking citation payments to be made with a credit card via a secured website on the internet. This service can be accessed through the Department of Transportation's website at:

"While no one likes to pay a parking ticket, we hope the online service will at least make it more convenient to pay the fine," said Department of Transportation General Manager Wayne Tanda.

The new website offers users another payment option and complements the existing Pay-By-Phone service which allows payment of parking citations by credit card via telephone.
