Foster City Employee Resources

Here are some links to help Foster City Employees connect to work during the work-from-home period due to COVID-19.

You can use access any of these resources (webmail, terminal) on any computer - it doesn't have to be a city issued laptop.

If you run into any issues, please post to the helpdesk or email helpdesk@fostercity.org.
