Community Services include a host of programs that serve the Austin community, including Living Streets, Neighborhood Partnering Program, Placemaking, and Safe Routes to School.
Living Streets
The Living Streets program envisions local streets as places where communities can walk, bike, gather, and connect. The program offers residents a set of options for activating neighborhood streets to create opportunities for safe community-building throughout the city.
Neighborhood Partnering Program
Through the Neighborhood Partnering Program (NPP) Austin residents can work together to enhance the places they live, work and play. More than 80 community-initiated projects have been completed since the program first launched in 2010.
Placemaking
Artbox Program
The Artbox Program provides Austin neighborhoods and business districts the opportunity to enhance Austin Transportation’s (ATD) traffic signal (utility) cabinets with community-inspired artwork created by local artists. The program helps to beauty neighborhoods and business districts, encourages civic pride and expresses a community’s special character for others to see, learn and enjoy.

Street Banners
The Street Banner program provides a service to community nonprofits, arts and cultural groups, and other organizations that need an effective tool to promote events and public information of interest and benefit to Austinites and visitors.
Safe Routes to School
The Safe Routes to School program helps children choose human power to get to school. Through crossing guards, education, outreach, and infrastructure projects, we aim to make sure elementary and middle school students across Austin can walk, bike, and roll safely.
