Community

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation is dedicated to serving the varied communities within the City of Los Angeles by delivering safe, reliable and accessible transportation services. The Community Outreach Division of LADOT’s Public Information Office serves as a conduit between the Department and the communities it serves.

Outreach Activities

The Community Relations Division of the Public Information Office attends an average of five community events per month. At these events, LADOT representatives directly communicate with City residents about LADOT services. Outreach events are either planned by the Department or are attended by invitation. Contact the Public Information Office to request LADOT representation at an event.

Education Programs

Community outreach employees also manage programs and events that promote public education. Covering a variety of topics, the Public Information Office hosts events such as pedestrian workshops and manages safety education programs. “Watch the Road,” an award-winning safety campaign, is one of these education programs.

City Council Liaison

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation council liaison works with Council Offices to address community issues.

Since many of the Department’s employees are experts in their fields, requests are often made for them to speak at events.
