The City of New Orleans has brought streetlight operations fully in-house, improving efficiency, accountability, and cost control for more than 51,000 lights citywide. With staff trained on a new Asset Management System and automated workflows now in place, DPW has streamlined inspections, repairs, and real-time tracking of outages across all neighborhoods. These advancements lay the groundwork for the 2026 Streetlight Master Plan, which will guide long-term upgrades and identify sustainable funding strategies.
