This National Public Works Week, we recognize the teams helping keep Chicago moving every day. 🚧 From streets and signals to bike lanes and bridge operations, thank you to the public works professionals supporting safer travel across Chicago. #NationalPublicWorksWeek #CDOT

Congratulations to William Cheaks Jr., who was confirmed yesterday by City Council as CDOT’s new Commissioner! We’re excited to keep advancing a safer, more accessible and efficient transportation system for all Chicagoans.

46% decrease in traffic fatalities since 2021. And since I took office, 100 miles of new bike lines and 69,000 new trees planted.

Check out CDOT’s newly published case studies looking at economic trends before and after bike lane installation. 🚲 Findings show most economic indicators were either positive or neutral, with more people biking and significant safety improvements. api.chicago.gov/filenet5/servl…
