A community with many transportation options is healthier and offers a better quality of life for its citizens.  Bicycling and walking are important ways to get around Charlotte.  CDOT is committed to providing safe, connected sidewalks and bicycling opportunities such as bike lanes and routes.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Videos

CDOT, along with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department and the City’s Corporate Communications Department created two safety videos. One deals with pedestrian safety and the other, bicycle safety. The team wanted to create timeless videos that could be used for many years at public meetings and events. The videos align with CDOT’s safety goals and communication plan. Both videos were created using the City’s talented and creative studio staff. All the actors in the videos are volunteers.
