Digital Kiosk Public Meeting – 15 Aug 2024

The City of Dallas is considering adding digital kiosks to pedestrian areas around the city. As a result, city staff is seeking public input on the plan.

The meeting is scheduled for 15 August 2024, 6-8pm. It will be hosted in-person and virtually. Please see the flyer below for more information. If you wish to attend, in-person or virtually, you must pre-register HERE.

A digital kiosk is a a self-standing structure assembled in strategic pedestrian areas, such as sidewalks and public spaces. It is a self-service unit that features a touchscreen display and is designed to provide information, services, or products. In contrast, a static kiosk is non-interactive and advertises non-digital products, services, or information.
