The Department is responsible for the transportation of people and goods throughout the City of Pittsburgh, and for managing the operation of and access to the public right-of-way (the sidewalks, curbs, streets, and bridges that make up our network).

City's Mobility Principles:

• No one dies or is seriously injured traveling on city streets.
• Every household in Pittsburgh can access fresh fruits and vegetables within 20 minutes travel of home, without the requirement of a private vehicle.
• All trips less than 1 mile are easily and enjoyably achieved by non-vehicle travel.
• Streets and intersections can be intuitively navigated by an adolescent.
• The combined cost of transportation, housing and energy does not exceed 45% of household income for any income group.
