LADOT’s Core Principles for Transportation Happiness

ACCESSIBILITY RELIABILITY SAFETY & COMFORT CULTURE & COMMUNITY EQUITY & TRANSPARENCY
Freedom to Get Around
Freedom from Disruptions
Freedom from Harm
Freedom to Connect
Freedom from Exclusion

I have the flexibility to select among safe, easy-to-understand, and universally-designed options to help me get to where I need to be in a timely manner.

I can get where I need to go, when I need to go, with seamless infrastructure and responsive services, whether on my daily commute or on a spontaneous trip.

I can enjoy my trip free from harassment and harm, using a safe, comfortable, and intuitive system.

I feel connected to  my neighborhood and can celebrate our city’s cultural diversity and unique places.

I can rely on LADOT to respect and empower communities through transparent decisionmaking and clear operations, to invest equitably, and to avoid disproportionate impact.
