LADOT News

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.

Thank you to those who joined LADOT at our open house community events for the Sunset East Safety & Mobility Project! LADOT is planning improvements along Sunset Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Avenue between Douglas Street and Alameda Street, enhancing safety and comfort for all users. 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...

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...

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.

September is SoCal Transit Month! Now in its third year, Transit Month is a chance for riders, advocates, and agencies to build relationships and share in the joy of riding transit. Move LA is producing this event in partnership with Bay Area Transit Month, America Walks Week Without Driving, and the Coalition for Clean Air’s California Clean Air Day.

All month long, transit friendly events will be happening across the region. The Metro Youth Summit is a by-youth, for-youth event that will explore how transit can create a more accessible...

LADOT broke ground on the Mid-City Neighborhood Greenway one year ago, and if you’ve been walking or biking along Rosewood Avenue, Formosa Avenue, or Orange Drive recently, you may have noticed some improvements designed to calm traffic and make these neighborhood streets safer for all.

In collaboration with project partners at the Bureau of Engineering, we have completed new curb extensions, a traffic circle, and a diverter–all three of which encourage slow and safe vehicle movement. Soon, crews will be installing a TOUCAN signal, a...

LADOT is currently at work installing new safety treatments on Vista Del Mar between Imperial Highway and Waterview Street. Nestled between Dockweiler Beach and LAX, this road previously saw a high amount of illegal driving behavior and unsafe crossings. The new safety treatments are designed to curb excessive speeding, prevent illegal U-turns, and prevent illegal parking that leads to unsafe roadway crossings.

Key safety upgrades include median barriers with fencing throughout the corridor to prevent U-turns and speed tables to...

Welcome to the 2026-27 school year, LAUSD students! I hope this school year is rewarding, fun, challenging, and above all else–safe.

LADOT is committed to providing students with a safe route to and from school, and continues to invest in solutions that slow dangerous speeding around schools and keep students safe. These efforts include reduced speed limits of 15 mph on eligible streets, intersection safety improvements such as curb extensions and turn restrictions, and speed humps. Since the start of the 2025-26 school year, LADOT has...

Construction is underway on the Chandler Bike Connection! Once complete, the Chandler Bike Connection will mark a dramatic improvement in active transportation in the Valley–closing the three mile gap between the Chandler and the Metro G Line Bike Paths and creating a 21-mile, continuous, safe, and protected bike route from Burbank to the Sepulveda Basin. While this is exciting news, there may be traffic impacts during construction including lane closures within the project area. Stay up to date on these...

Spring Street and Alameda Street form a key corridor in Chinatown, connecting residents, commuters, and visitors to Union Station, Los Angeles State Historic Park, the LA Riverway, and more. Today the corridor is also a gap in our transportation network, lacking bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian crossing points, and traffic calming to slow vehicle speeds. As a result, too few people comfortably bike and walk this stretch, and too many crashes here have resulted in injury or even death.

LADOT has committed to improving safety...
