This morning, Mayor Andre Dickens joined City officials, partners, and residents in Southwest Atlanta to celebrate the installation of the 100th IKE Smart City kiosk—an achievement that highlights how technology and teamwork are shaping a more connected city.
The celebration took place at Greenbriar Parkway and Headland Drive, where the newest kiosk stands as a symbol of progress and accessibility. The milestone underscores the City’s commitment to bringing government services, local information, and community resources closer to the people who need them most.
A Smarter, More Accessible City
Since the launch of the IKE Smart City program in 2022, Atlanta has deployed interactive digital kiosks that make it easier to navigate neighborhoods, access city services, and stay informed about events, transit routes, and public safety updates. Each kiosk offers free Wi-Fi, real-time wayfinding, ATL311 access, emergency call buttons, and a platform for small businesses and nonprofits to reach residents.
With **112 kiosks now live—more than halfway to the 220-kiosk goal—**the network continues to expand across Atlanta and along state routes managed by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).
“Technology That Works for the People”
“This celebration is the definition of teamwork,” said Mayor Dickens. “IKE Smart City has brought together engineers, designers, City staff, and community members—all working with one purpose: to make Atlanta more connected and more accessible.”
Hosting the 100th installation in Southwest Atlanta held personal significance for the Mayor, who grew up in the area. “This community shaped me and so many others, and it’s fitting that we’re celebrating progress that benefits neighborhoods just like this one across the city,” he said.
By the Numbers
- 112 kiosks live (51% program completion)
- $3.5 million in total revenue to date
- $619,000 generated in 2025 alone
- 33% of GDOT Phase II kiosks already installed
These results are the product of strong collaboration between IKE Smart City, ATL DOT, the Office of Technology and Innovation, GDOT, and local contractors—all working together to deliver a smarter infrastructure model for the city.
Building for What’s Next
The IKE Smart City program plays an important role in Atlanta’s preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, providing visitors with real-time navigation tools, local event listings, and neighborhood guides that showcase Atlanta’s culture and businesses.
“This is technology that works for the people,” Mayor Dickens added. “It bridges the digital divide and expands opportunity in every zip code—from Southwest Atlanta to Downtown and beyond.”
As the program continues, new features and accessibility improvements will further enhance how residents and visitors experience the city—keeping Atlanta connected, informed, and ready for the future.
