Current Statistics and Data
StreetsLA manages a vast portfolio of public infrastructure – including 23,000 lane miles of streets and 660,000 street trees, so we use a data-driven approach to inform how we allocate our resources. We also make our work transparent and accessible, because we want you to know what we are up to in your neighborhoods.
Metrics - Fiscal Year 25-26
Pavement Preservation
StreetsLA’s Pavement Preservation Program (PPP) includes different treatments that help maintain the City’s 23,000 lane miles of streets: resurfacing, large asphalt repairs, and slurry seal.
Resurfacing involves comprehensive repaving of streets. Crews remove the top layer of worn asphalt and replace it with a new layer in order to extend the useful life of the roadway. Resurfacing occurs, on average, every 15 to 20 years for “select streets” (which are major arterial streets and corridors) and 25 to 30 years for “local streets” (which are typically residential streets). Resurfacing is considered an alteration per the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), and requires ADA-compliant access ramps to be installed prior to resurfacing.
Large Asphalt Repairs (LAR) or "patching," refer to the localized repair of distressed pavement in which a relatively isolated portion of the street is in poor condition but the rest of the street remains in good condition. LARs are corrective maintenance measures that are common on major corridors that receive a high volume of traffic from heavy vehicles. LARs are targeted interventions that remove the distressed areas to prevent further deterioration of the top wearing surface and pavement structure, and help bring the failed street segment back into a state of good condition.
Slurry seal is a “maintenance coat” for qualified corridors, primarily residential streets. This treatment occurs, on average, every 3 to 7 years after a street has been resurfaced in order to prevent water penetration into the asphalt. This maintenance coat is a cost-effective treatment aimed at extending the useful life of roadways that are already in fair to good condition.
Urban Tree Canopy
Trees are one of our most valuable resources – providing shade, capturing and cleaning stormwater runoff, removing pollution from the air, storing carbon, and producing oxygen. With 660,000 street trees, Los Angeles has the largest municipal urban forest in the nation, and StreetsLA is responsible for managing it all. We maintain a citywide tree inventory and provide annual tree trimming in each of the 15 Council Districts.
Sidewalk & Transit Amenities Program (STAP)
The Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP) is adding 3,000 new bus shelters across the City of Los Angeles, and will make it easier, safer, and more pleasant for Angelenos to ride the bus. Please visit the full project website at http://LABusStop.com or take a look at the information below for updates on the program.

Emergency Response
During emergencies, StreetsLA serves as the first responder to emergencies in the public right-of-way. The Bureau is responsible for clearing debris from roadways, repairing potholes and addressing tree emergencies (including fallen or leaning trees). StreetsLA’s first priority during any emergency is to ensure the public right-of-way is safe, clear and passable.
