On Friday, November 6, Mayor Cherelle L. Parker joined City Officials and departments in launching the fall edition of the 2026 One Philly, A United City Citywide Cleaning Program.

During the event, Mayor Parker announced the City’s new initiative, the Road Warriors Pothole Squad. The dedicated team will aim to repair potholes quickly, in as little as 48 hours, to keep drivers and roads safe, and keep traffic moving.

“I’m so excited to finally have dedicated Road Warrior Pothole Squads working across Philadelphia,” said Streets Commissioner Kristin Del Rossi. “This is a unique opportunity for our new employees to have firsthand, on-the-job, training by our skilled Highway Division staff.”

Team information and scheduling

The new Road Warriors will consist of six teams, including 22 positions. The program will operate Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. excluding City-observed holidays.

Pothole requests submitted after 4 p.m. will be processed the next business day. Crews do not work on the weekends.

Street defects like cave ins, ditches and asphalt adjustments need coordination with other agencies and extended time to make repairs. These cannot be serviced within 48 hours.

How to submit a request

Beginning Monday, November 9 pothole requests can be submitted to roadwarriorspotholesquad.org.

Potholes that are repaired will be tracked and populated on a data-driven map where residents will be able to view the number of potholes filled and the location where it was serviced.
