Latest Walk /Bike Count
I’m pleased to share the results of LADOT’s 2025 Walk & Bike Count! LADOT launched the Walk & Bike Count in 2019 to better understand trends across the city. We conduct Walk & Bike Counts every odd year, and use the resulting data to evaluate our infrastructure investments, track usage before and after transportation projects, and identify locations for future improvements. Our count includes the number of people walking, biking, and using scooters, it breaks down mode by gender, and it identifies people using assisted devices.
In 2025, we conducted counts at 100 locations across the City, including 82 eight hour counts and 18 permanent, 24 hour counters. Data was collected between September and November with the eight hour counts occurring on weekdays split between morning and evening commute times. Here are a few interesting facts from our 2025 count:
- The top location for walking was Hollywood Boulevard between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive with 15,380 pedestrians counted in just one day.
- Across all locations, biking made up 10% of people traveling by active means. The top location for biking was Washington Boulevard between Ocean Avenue and Grayson Avenue, which saw 100 bicyclists per hour during peak hours.
- Across all locations LADOT counted a 45% increase in the number of people operating motorized scooters from 2023. The top location for scooters was Figueroa Street between 30th Street and 31st Street.

LADOT Visits Site of Deadly Crash
Last week, LADOT GM Laura Rubio-Cornejo and Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson visited the site of a fatal hit-and-run crash in Hyde Park. On Tuesday, September 22, a driver ignored a stop sign and hit two teenage siblings crossing the intersection of West 60th Street and South 10th Avenue with their mother. The crash killed a sixteen-year-old child, hospitalized his fourteen-year-old sister, and forever changed their mother's life.
LADOT crews have already been on location adding advance stop warning signs and pavement markings on 60th Street in both directions to increase awareness of the stop signs, and the Department will work with Council District 8 to fund and construct speed humps on 60th Street.
LADOT reminds all drivers to pay attention, slow down, and respect the communities they drive through.
Traffic Officers Attend Autonomous Vehicle Training
Last week, LADOT Traffic Officers gathered in Elysian Park for a training session on interacting with autonomous vehicles. Because autonomous vehicles may require extra attention compared to regular traffic, Traffic Officers were trained on identifying these vehicles and practiced being extra pronounced with their hand signals to ensure a safe flow of traffic. Traffic Officers also had the opportunity to learn about the technology that goes into autonomous vehicles and check out one of the cars for themselves. Thanks to all who attended this training!
