The Department of Transportation's responsibilities include day-to-day maintenance of the city's streets, highways, bridges and sidewalks. The Department of Transportation is also responsible for installing and maintaining the city's street signs, traffic signals and street lights. The DOT supervises street resurfacing, pothole repair, parking meter installation and maintenance, and the management of a citywide network of municipal parking facilities.

The DOT also operates the Staten Island Ferry. The DOT operates the older, major East River bridges — the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge and the Queensboro Bridge (59th Street Bridge) — as well as most of the minor bridges throughout the city. Other major bridges in the city are operated by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, or the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

The Department of Transportation has a staff of over 4,000 that oversees one of the most complex urban transportation networks in the world. Our staff manages approximately 5,800 miles of streets, sidewalks, and highways and 789 bridge structures, including six tunnels. DOT staff installs and maintains over 1.3 million street signs, traffic signals at more than 11,900 signalized intersections, over 300,000 streetlights, 69 million linear feet of markings, and approximately 63,000 parking meters. DOT promotes the use of sustainable modes of transportation
