Mission Statement 

The mission of the District of Columbia Department of  Transportation is to: 

Develop and maintain a cohesive, sustainable  transportation system that delivers safe, affordable, 

and convenient ways to move people and goods — while protecting and enhancing the natural, 

environmental, and cultural resources of the  District.

Vision Statement

• DDOT is committed to achieving an exceptional  quality of life in the nation’s capital through more 

sustainable travel practices, safer streets, and  outstanding access to goods and services. 

• Central to this vision is improving energy  efficiency and modern mobility by providing next 

generation alternatives to single occupancy  driving in the city.

A Healthier,  Happier

Workforce

• Do you have to commute?– Live in the city…

or close to transit

– Dispel cost myths

– Use different modes

– Combine health and commute

• Mode switches from SOV– Metro/Rail

– Bicycle– Bus/Streetcar– Walk

• How to get behavioral change?– Marketing and Communications

– Do the math

– Make it easy and safe

– Take the lead

Action Agenda:  Sustainability

1. Make walking and biking the mode of choice 

for trips less than 1 and 3 miles respectively

• Expand bike share program to at least 100 stations/1000 

bikes• Set aside 5% of capital budget annually for bikes and peds

2. Prioritize expansion and enhancement of 

transit services

• Construct initial two line segments of 37‐mile streetcar 

system• Consolidate a minimum of 100 bus stops

3. Minimize traffic congestion and promote 

vehicle operations

• Increase enforcement of double‐parking & rush‐hour 

violations• Improve on‐street commercial loading operations and on‐

street parking management through pricing strategies

4. Encourage development projects that 

promote and support non‐auto mobility

• Review & guide transportation demand management (TDM)• Support OP/OZ efforts to modernize zoning requirements

Action Agenda:  Sustainability

5. Minimize the environmental impacts of 

transportation infrastructure

• Develop standards for low‐impact design (LID) 

treatments and management in the public space

• Pursue “de‐concretization”

by expanding tree boxes, 

planting medians, and reducing impervious surfaces

• Establish electric vehicle charging stations• Pilot the use of LED fixtures for roadway and pedestrian 

lighting

6. Use technology to improve traveler 

information, choice and convenience

• Implement real time bus displays and information in bus 

shelters and on PDAs and via cellphone

• Implement pay‐by‐phone for parking and other viable 

applications

• Use www.godcgo.com to promote alternative travel in 

the District

Transportation Demand  Management

Refers to various strategies that change travel behavior  (how, when and where people travel) in order to 

increase transport system efficiency and achieve  specific planning objectives.

DC’s Migration Path

• Building components of larger ITS infrastructure• Asset intensive program to “asset lite”

solutions

• Non‐communicating assets to networked “smart”• Coin transactions to virtual transactions• Reactive maintenance to proactive• Fixed rate structure to dynamic pricing• Limited occupancy/demand info. to real‐time• Enforcement – “walk the beat”

to targeted

• Pilot, test‐market, assess, compete, launch, market• Drive behavioral change with price, ease of use

How Does Research Fit‐In?

• Not as concerned with yes/no• Running many “pilots”

– Initial Bikeshare, parking meters, cycle tracks

• Need incremental validation of concepts to permanence

• Marketing and segmentation studies– early adopters vs. mainstreaming

• Public Private Partnership (PPP) opportunities• Performance measurement and management
