Georgetown was founded before the District of Columbia as an industrial port town. Transportation has been at the center of Georgetown, with a canal, railroads, highways, and trails connecting this community to the world. Georgetown is a thriving place where a legacy of impact can generate a future of possibility. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) conducted a year-long study to better understand how those who live, work, visit, and commute in Georgetown get around — and how we can potentially design a future that makes mobility and accessibility better for all.
