A LIVABLE &
SUSTAINABLE
CITY
Improving quality of life by enhancing our
transportation system and reducing its impacts
A successful transportation network connects people and supports a
high quality of life, allowing Angelenos to easily access employment,
education and entertainment. But as LA’s economy grows, increased
travel puts more pressures on the city’s infrastructure and environment.
Traffic congestion impacts the movement of people and goods, and
emissions from motor vehicles negatively affect air quality and public
health.
LADOT will increase Angelenos’ mobility in a balanced and sustainable
way, while supporting a high quality of life in neighborhoods across
the city. We will be leaders in building great streets that provide safe,
affordable, and attractive facilities for a diverse range of users and travel
modes. Our actions will improve the efficiency of our streets, enhance
public transit, and expand choices for travel by bike. New technologies
will also improve the experience of parking and manage peak demands.
These efforts will allow the millions of people and vehicles that flow
through LA to reach destinations with greater ease and fewer impacts.
