What is the Engagement Van? Make a Reservation Plans for the Future

What is the Engagement Van?

Thanks for asking! The vehicle is a vital tool in our education and outreach efforts, particularly in neighborhoods that have historically been underrepresented in decision-making processes. The community engagement van meets residents where they are by visiting neighborhoods, community events, and community gathering places.

Make a Reservation

Raleigh residents can request that the engagement van comes out to their community! To request the engagement van, please fill out the request form. A staff member will follow up to confirm the reservation and review details. Requests must be submitted at least two weeks in advance and no more than 90 days before the requested date. Please allow three to four business days after submitting the form for staff to confirm your request. 

Plans for the Future

This is just the start! Raleigh is making a long-term investment in a mobile city hall that will serve the community. The electric powered Community Engagement Vehicle is expected to be ready in 2025. This vehicle will provide four workstations for people to use to conduct city business such as paying utility bills, registering for classes, and much more.

Where will the Engagement Van be next?
