Access to participatory budgeting now available via Link kiosks
Participatory budgeting just got easier for some.
The New York City Council together with the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) and LinkNYC announced on Monday, April 9 the launch citywide of participatory budgeting on Link kiosks – the first-of-its-kind communications network which replaced city payphones and offered free Wi-Fi starting in early 2016.
Through participatory budgeting, New Yorkers in participating City Council districts can now decide how to spend $1 million of the public budget. Community members can propose and vote on projects like improvements to schools, parks, libraries and more, via the Link system.
