LADOT News

As 2024 starts to wind down, LADOT is looking back on our accomplishments this year. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the hardworking teams that made big things happen in Los Angeles this past year.

This year LADOT implemented major projects that will improve safety, sustainability, access, and the transportation experience across the region. Our Vision Zero team brought the Hollywood Blvd Safety & Mobility project to life with protected bike lanes and a new center turn lane. Through our partnership with Metro, LADOT...

As we wrap up 2024, I’m excited to invite you to the year’s final CicLAvia this Sunday, December 8th! This time, we are converting over 5 miles of Sherman Way, connecting Canoga Park, Winnetka, and Reseda for a day of car-free fun. Whether you’re biking, walking, skating, or simply strolling, it’s a chance to explore and enjoy the Valley at your own pace.

When traveling to or from the event you may consider taking a detour along Reseda Boulevard which intersects the route and where we’ve recently installed 6 miles of protected bike...

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving travel is notoriously hectic, so whether you're heading across town, out of town, or just a few blocks over, make a plan in advance so you get to your destination safely and on time! Check public transportation routes and let Metro do the driving for you if you can, to enjoy the holiday stress free as we take you to and from your destination. If you do drive, give yourself extra time to get where you’re going, stay alert, and remember the kindness, patience, and gratitude this holiday is all about!

This year marks an exciting milestone for LADOT as we celebrate 40 years of ATSAC (Advanced Transportation System and Coordination). Since its launch as part of the City’s efforts to manage traffic during the 1984 Summer Olympics, ATSAC has grown from a ground breaking local initiative into one of the world’s most advanced traffic systems, monitoring and adjusting traffic signals to respond to conditions across Los Angeles.

In 2022, we unveiled our new and improved ATSAC center designed to take on the ever expanding complexity of the city’s...

Each year, on the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, we pause to honor lives tragically lost and forever changed by traffic collisions. Every name added to this list represents a person whose story was cut short. Too many families have experienced a day when everything changed.

It is important to say this clearly: traffic deaths are preventable. These are not accidents without cause or solution. They are the result of decisions we make behind the wheel, on the streets, and in how we design our city...

Monday is Veterans Day, when we come together as a nation to honor the brave men and women who have served in our country’s armed forces. Their dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our nation should serve as an inspiration to all. Veterans embody values such as service, resilience, and unity—qualities that strengthen Los Angeles every day.

For many Veterans, service is a lifelong calling. LADOT proudly employs 40 veteran and active reserve duty members who either have or continue to wear this nation’s uniform. We...

If you're commuting to a Halloween event, consider using public transportation to avoid heavy traffic or parking issues. If you are driving, be especially alert for young pedestrians, go slow in residential areas where children...

Check out our Connect Del Rey project—a comprehensive initiative to enhance mobility, safety, and connectivity in our Westside neighborhoods! In the coming days and weeks, LADOT staff will be hosting virtual and in-person meetings to share information and listen to residents provide feedback regarding plans to make streets in Playa del Rey safer and more accessible for all, whether you walk, bike, or drive.

Community input is essential to shaping LADOT projects. That’s why we are committed to providing multiple opportunities for you to...

On Monday October 14th, Los Angeles will observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which celebrates the contributions and resilience of Indigenous communities who called America home long before the founding of the United States. Our own city of Los Angeles, and much of Southern California, is the historic home of the Tongva and Chumash tribes.

The legacy of these communities can be seen today from the names of streets and neighborhoods like Cahuenga and Tujunga to the preservation of sacred sites like Kuruvungna Springs in West LA. Beyond these...
