6FCC Ruling
We find that the Information and Referral
Petitioners have demonstrated sufficient public
benefits to justify use of a scarce public
resource and therefore assign 2-1-1 to be used
for access to community information and referral
services. (2000)
7CPUC Ruling
The use of the 2-1-1 dialing code has the
potential to provide Californians with easy
access to information concerning child care
services, housing assistance, physical and mental
health resources, aging and hospice services,
educational and other programs. Such information
is not currently available through the 9-1-1
emergency code or the 3-1-1 police non-emergency
code. (2003)
