The mission of the Department of Administrative Services is to provide staff functions for the Mayor and CAO, day-to-day operational support to all other Township departments, and to advance the condition, sustainability, and security of the Township’s institutional resources. The Department is directly responsible for providing several of the Township's services: including administration of the Township’s communication & information technology systems, management of Township facilities and office equipment, coordination of external mail processing & internal mail delivery, and supervision of the Upper Darby One Center. Our goals are to promote state-of-the-art systems, expand accessibility to Township services, achieve cost-saving efficiencies, and to ensure that world class constituent services are provided to all Township residents.
