The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT/ˈsiːdɒt/) is an executive department of the City of Chicago[3] responsible for the safety, environmental sustainability, maintenance, and aesthetics of the surface transportation networks and public ways within the city.[4] This includes the planning, design, construction, and management of streets, sidewalks, bridges, and alleys.
CDOT is headed by the Commissioner of Transportation, an appointee and cabinet member of the Mayor of Chicago. The second in command at CDOT is the First Deputy Commissioner, who serves as a liaison between the Commissioner's office and the various operational sections. Managing Deputy Commissioners may also be placed by the Commissioner for assistance in policy and operational oversight.
CDOT is organized into several Divisions each headed by a Deputy Commissioner, including the Divisions of Administration, Project Development, Engineering, In-House Construction, Electrical Operations, Sign Management, Traffic Safety, and Infrastructure Management.
