About Janette Sadik-Khan
Janette Sadik-Khan was appointed Commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on April 27, 2007. She is the primary force behind Sustainable Streets, the DOT's strategic plan to bring a green approach to transportation that will simultaneously ease travel conditions in our growing city while squarely facing the problem of climate change and improving the city's quality of life. The program has already begun to pioneer new lane designs for buses and bicycles, and will also work to reduce private auto use in crowded neighborhoods in every borough to allow more room for these clean, efficient types of travel. More transportation choices and more reliable travel - and streets that serve as public places in and of themselves - will improve our commutes and environment and represent a new frontier in efforts to improve the quality of life in New York City.
