🚧 This week is National Work Zone Awareness Week (April 20-24). Work zones are where our crews live and work — slow down, stay alert, and give them space.

Safe actions save lives.

Expect changes due to:
• Special events
• Construction activity
• Ongoing infrastructure work

Plan ahead and allow extra travel time when heading downtown.

Thank you, John, for your dedication to making our city more inclusive.

Congratulations to John Malinowski, Principal Engineer in our ADA Compliance Division, on being named DOT's Employee of the Month! :tada:

John's work helps ensure Baltimore's streets and infrastructure are accessible to everyone.

Everyone deserves a clear path.

We got this, Baltimore.

Overgrown branches and bushes can block the path for people using wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, and canes, making a simple trip down the block a real obstacle.
Trim your plants back, clear your clippings, and keep the sidewalk open.

Spring is here! 🌱

As you get outside for yard work, please take a moment to check what's hanging over your sidewalk.
