The Metro Transportation Library has launched a new "Primary Resources" blog.
Our new blog will:
profile the Library and Achives' unique collection of resources relating to transit and transportation history in Southern California
highlight activities in and information produced by the transportation research community
provide context for information related to Measure R projects and Metro's mobility agenda overall
Please check back frequently for new posts and information. It is an exciting time for transit and transportation in Southern California. We look forward to increasing access to important and valuable resources for our community.
