The New York City Department of Transportation’s (NYC DOT) mission is to provide for the safe, equitable, and sustainable movement of people and goods and create public spaces that strengthen our communities.
The agency’s vision is a transportation system that provides equitable mobility for all residents and visitors, is environmentally sustainable and built to adapt to the threat of climate change, and is driven by human power and clean energy.
What We Do
Every time you go outside, you interact with NYC DOT. We are responsible for a vast network of public infrastructure, including planning, design, construction, maintenance, and management of roads, sidewalks, bridges, traffic signals and signs, crosswalks, bus stops, bike lanes, streetlights, plazas – even the Staten Island Ferry. We are here to help all New Yorkers and millions of visitors get around our city.
This is possible thanks to our nearly 6,000 employees, an annual operating budget of $1.5 billion and a ten-year $33.5 billion capital program, and the continued input and involvement of the public.
