A web-based app, with a new mapping upgrade that is designed to be more user friendly, will become effective Monday for Cobb County residents.

All users must register again to log in to the upgraded system. By accessing the YourGOV website or using the smart device app, they can photograph a problem and request that work be completed by the Cobb County Department of Transportation at a specified location.

Those problems can include a pothole, traffic signals, signage, a backed-up storm drain or a busted sidewalk. Since 2013, Cobb residents have been able to submit nonemergency service requests for the CDOT work management system. They also are able to track the progress of their requests and receive automatic updates throughout the life cycle of their request. Register: yourgov.cobbdot.org/yourgov.
