(WASHINGTON, DC) – Today, the Bowser administration, through the DC Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced the launch of moveDC 2021, the long-range plan that will set the 25-year vision for the District’s multimodal transportation system. Residents from across all eight wards who drive, walk, bike, or take public transit will be asked to provide input that will help shape the plan. 

“Since Mayor Bowser took office in 2015, DDOT has made huge strides toward building a safer, greener, and more accessible transportation system–this would not have been possible without input from residents across the District,” said DDOT Director Jeff Marootian. “The feedback we collect in the coming weeks will not only inform moveDC2021, but also further our work to secure the District’s position as a leader in public transportation.”   

Over the next several weeks, DDOT will solicit feedback from residents to help:  

• Streamline the goals, policies, and strategies that guide transportation investments 
• Map priority network for bicycles, transit, and freight to achieve mode shift goals  
• Set metrics to track progress and measure success  
• Ensure that equity is a key consideration in making transportation decisions  
• Develop a plan that reflects current values and meets federal requirements
