City of Rochester Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI) Pilot Program 

Rochester Animal Services volunteers are essential to the success of the organization. Our volunteers help to enhance the quality of life for animals at the shelter. They extend their time and hearts to the animals. Many activities involve direct contact with the animals but there are many opportunities that also provide supportive and administrative functions. 

The City of Rochester Bureau of Parking oversees the installation, use and repair of mechanical parking meters and electronic pay stations on City streets.  To report a problem with a meter or pay station, call 311 (outside city limits, call 585-428-5990) or use the 311 online portal.
