Summary from the letter (January 28, 2025) from Councillor Paul Ainslie:

Meeting customer service targets remains a key focus for the City of Toronto. Currently, the Customer Experience Division does not publicly post divisional performance data. To address this, City Divisions need to provide the Customer Experience Division with the necessary information to publicly report on their performance against service standards.

While divisions would benefit from demonstrating resource needs based on performance standards, this data must be aggregated.  Customer Experience to conduct ongoing analysis of performance trends, identify areas for improvement, and develop central repository for performance data. User-friendly public dashboards and reports should be created and maintained, providing context, and highlighting service impact on residents.

This will enhance public trust, improve service delivery, and promote greater transparency and accountability within the City of Toronto.
