The City of Athens is enhancing citizens’ web experience by offering a mobile app that provides information about city functions and an avenue for citizens to report issues.

The app name is “Athens Alabama Municipal Gov” and is a mobile friendly version of the city’s website at www.athensal.us.

The app includes information about agendas, calendar items, job applications, staff members’ contact information and alerts regarding cityrelated emergencies. In addition, the app has a function called “Citizen Request Tracker” where a citizen can take a photo of an issue, such as a pothole or malfunctioning traffic light, note the location and submit it to the city for review.

CivicPlus hosts the app. CivicPlus is the company that designed the city’s website. The app is available for Android and Apple devices.
