LADOT Brings ABLE Program to DASH Buses
LADOT is committed to providing Angelenos with fast and reliable transit service. Keeping bus lanes and bus stops clear is critical to ensuring an efficient and equitable transportation system. When drivers stop or park in bus lanes or at bus stops, it slows transit vehicles, makes it difficult for riders with accessibility needs to board and disembark buses, and discourages users from taking the bus.
Last year, in partnership with Metro, LADOT launched the Automated Bus Lane and Bus Stop Enforcement (ABLE) program on key Metro…
Be Safe This Halloween!
Happy Halloween! Every year spooky season is filled with fun activities, from trick-or-treating to haunted houses to costume contests. But as sunset creeps up earlier, and ghouls and goblins sneak from door to door, it is even more important for Angelenos to stay alert, drive with caution, and work together to keep our communities safe.
If you are driving on Halloween, slow down–whether or not you see trick-or-treaters. Remember that children may run into the street. Always yield to pedestrians, and make sure your headlights are on. Be aware of…

New EV Chargers in South LA
LADOT is installing 16 new Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers at four parks in South LA, continuing the City’s efforts to make electric vehicles more accessible to all Angelenos. For decades, neighborhoods in South LA have seen higher levels of congestion and the health impacts that come with more cars and trucks. The South LA Eco-Lab, made possible with a $35 million state grant, aims to end these disparities by investing in sustainable, green community projects.
LADOT is one of several project partners working to create greener, healthier, and…
Preparing Los Angeles for El Niño
LADOT and the City of Los Angeles are taking proactive steps to keep Angelenos safe as a historic El Niño event has the potential to affect Southern California this year. El Niño is not a storm but an increase in Pacific ocean temperatures that brings with it certain weather patterns, including rainfall, flooding, and dangerous shoreline conditions. City crews are already taking action to protect neighborhoods, including reinforcing hillsides and preparing for power outages.
Angelenos should take steps now to protect themselves from…
Speed Safety Systems Launching This Month
On October 26, LADOT will activate its Speed Safety System pilot program, designed to reduce dangerous and deadly speeding on our streets while protecting every Angeleno’s right to privacy. In the City of Los Angeles, approximately 300 people are killed in car crashes every year, and thousands more suffer serious injuries. Speed is the key factor that determines how severe a traffic crash is, and speed safety systems are proven to reduce speeding and save lives.
Here’s how it works: If a vehicle is speeding at least 11 mph over…
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.

Last month, over 150 community members joined us in person and virtually to share valuable feedback on the proposed improvements, which builds on input we heard earlier this year and will help further refine the corridor design.
During these discussions…
Construction is Underway on Spring/Alameda
Last week, I joined Mayor Bass and Councilmembers Eunisses Hernandez and Ysabel Jurado, alongside partner agencies from the City and region, to celebrate construction on the Spring/Alameda Safety and Mobility Project! Spring Street and Alameda Street are vital corridors connecting Angelenos to jobs, shops, and cultural destinations like the LA River, LA State Historic Park, Chinatown, Union Station, and Olvera Street. This project is an effort to fill crucial mobility gaps on the corridors and make travel easier and safer for…
Announcing Phase 2 of the Hollywood Boulevard Safety and Mobility Project
Two years ago, LADOT transformed Hollywood Boulevard with the installation of protected bike lanes from Gower Street to Hillhurst Avenue. Since then, thousands of cyclists have used the new lanes to commute to work, run errands, and explore the neighborhood. Now we’re launching Phase II of the Hollywood Boulevard Safety and Mobility Project–this will connect the existing Hollywood bike lanes to Sunset and improve safety and accessibility at one of LA’s most notorious intersections in the process.
