The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) manages and oversees the use and occupancy of public space in the District of Columbia, aiming to create and maintain safe, and attractive streets. The Public Space Regulation Division (PSRD) specifically works toward these goals by regulating publicly owned property between property lines on a street, including the roadway, tree spaces, sidewalks, and alleys.
