Summary
Meeting customer service targets remains a key focus for the City of Toronto. Publicly posting these targets on the City of Toronto website benefits the city by enhancing service delivery and supporting the achievement of overall service and budget targets.
Currently, the Customer Experience Division does not publicly post divisional performance data against service standards on the City's website. I have been informed that they are currently developing a tool to facilitate this. However, no timelines for the release of this information have been established, and Council has not yet issued any directives regarding the public posting of this data on the City's website.
Divisions would benefit from reporting on their performance standards. This would help to demonstrate the need for resources required to meet the standards necessary for operating the city and ensuring residents have access to the programs and services they require. I am formally requesting that the City provide this information and post it on the City of Toronto public website.
This request aims to enhance public trust, improve service delivery, and promote greater transparency and accountability within the City of Toronto.
