LADOT News

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...

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...

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...

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...
