C.U.R.E.
C.U.R.E. is a program that focuses on promoting the value of having a clean city, raising consciousness of litter habits, and improving overall community pride and involvement. Keeping our city clean and well maintained will discourage vandalism, graffiti, littering and crime. As part of its C.U.R.E. campaign, the City hosts periodic Household Hazardous Waste special collection events for items like appliances, computers, televisions, and tires. Programs coming soon include door-to-door oil collection and drop-off days.

Riverside Connected - 311 Call Center
Modeled after the increasingly popular 311 concept started in New York City, Riverside’s 311 Call Center (951-826-5311) offers one phone number for residents to use when requesting a service, seeking information, reporting a problem or making a suggestion to the City. In other words, residents can call 311 for all non-emergency requests.

The Riverside Connected Call Center is staffed by Public Relations Specialists that can answer questions, take service requests and refer requests to the appropriate City departments. This “one stop” approach helps put citizens in touch with City government and enables the City to meet constituent needs in a more efficient and timely manner.

High Technology/ Smart Riverside
Phase II of Riverside’s Downtown wireless mall will add an additional two miles added to the City’s Downtown wireless network- Mission Inn Avenue to the 60 freeway. Current reports show that the Downtown wireless network has 37,000 internet sessions per month with a 20% increase per month.
