Newark, NJ Launches Citizen Engagement Platform Newark Connect

More than 285,000 Newark residents can alert the local government through a new, free mobile phone app, named Newark Connect, and powered by SeeClickFix, a CivicPlus product.

The app will enable city residents to view, report, comment, and vote on their city issues. Residents can choose to receive notifications about issues located in areas of their interest.

Through Newark Connect, residents can share relevant images, videos, and descriptions with local agencies, which would improve and expedite Newark’s service delivery.

"We are making great strides toward becoming a digital community to better serve our residents. The addition of the Newark Connect application will empower residents to access government services through their smartphones and enhance our efficiency. Stronger use of technology is helping us create a safer, more collaborative and empowered Newark.”

— Newark, NJ Mayor Ras Baraka
