It's not clear how much it will cost, but the Nutter administration is determined to get a 311 system installed in Philadelphia by the end of the year. If you're in an emergency, you'd still dial 911, but for any other city service, you could call 311. Officials also plan to implement PhillyStat, "a program that will track data from city departments and from 3-1-1 calls to assess how agencies are performing."
