• Submit an online service request below.

The following information is required when submitting an online request:

• Contact information – name, email address and telephone number.
• Address where the streetlight is located.

          NOTE: If the issue involves consecutive streetlights on the same street,

          please include the address range in the Customer Notes (i.e., From 123 Street Name to 129 Street Name)

• Attach a picture of the streetlight(s), if available.

  In the Customer Notes section, include –

Upon receipt of the request, the City of Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) will perform an inspection to determine if a shield should be placed on the streetlight(s) to reduce the brightness. If a need for the shield is determined, ATLDOT will refer the issue to Georgia Power for fulfillment.

NOTE: Please be aware that in some instances the ATLDOT assessor will request a meeting out at the location with the requestor.

If you need to report a streetlight that is not bright enough, please see the article, New Street Light Installation or New Street Light Study Request.
