Modernizing 311 and Brampton Transit Call Centre Services

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We are modernizing how we respond to 311 service requests and Brampton Transit inquiries, transforming the way residents connect with us.

As our community grows, so does demand for City services. By using advanced technology and digital tools, we are making it ​​easier to get help when you need it.

Here’s what this means for you — now and with more enhancements on the way.​

What This Means for Residents

The 311 Modernization Program is designed to improve how you access City service and stay informed about your requests.

You can expect:

  • Faster access to information, including automated answers to common questions
  • Improved updates on the status of your service request, so you can track progress without needing to speak to an agent
  • Easier self-service options
  • More ways to connect, including web chat, and SMS notifications
  • Support in multiple languages, helping make services more accessible

Feedback from the community has been central to shaping the 311 Modernization Program. Placing residents at the centre of the customer service experience remains a priority.

These enhancements will streamline response times, improve communication and provide more efficient service for everyone.​​

Program Timeline
