AN URBAN TRANSPORTATION BIBLIOGRAPHY May 3, 1971 CONTENTS Foreward ii Urban Transportation 1 Subject Index SU-1 Author Index PA-1 Organization Index OR-1 FOREWORD This reference material is the first step in a planned program to make a complete compilation of technical and scientific publications concerning urban mass transportation. The list includes ab- stracts of reports, studies, articles, monographs and other publication formats. The reference is designed to serve the scientific and technical needs of State, city and local government officials, transportation planners, industry leaders, consultants, researchers, and stu- dents of urban transportation problems. In retrospect, urban transportation investments by the Federal Government started in 1951. In that year. Congress approved a pilot program of mass transit assistance to State and local public bodies. Twenty-five million dollars was provided in the Housing Act of 1961 for a limited program of mass transit demonstration grants and technical assistance, and a $50 million borrowing authori- ty was enacted to assist local capital investment programs. These programs were first administered by the Housing and Home Finance Agency, which later became the Department of Housing and Urban Development, (HUD). The programs were consider- ably expanded by the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964. In 1966, Congress authorized three new supplemental programs: 1) Technical study grants for systems design, engineering and studies to improve transit management and operations; 2) Grants for advanced training of managerial personnel in local transit systems; and 3) Grants to institu- tions of higher learning for graduate research and training programs. In 1968, the major elements of the program were transferred from HUD to the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Urban Mass Transportation Act again was expanded notably by the Urban Mass Transportation Assistance Act of 1970. This reference list reflects the knowledge and information gained through investigations of transportation and related problems; the research, development and demonstration of new systems; new management procedures, and new applications for existing transportation systems. Each ab- stract includes a full bibliographical citation and National Technical Information Service catalog number. Sufficient bibliographic information is provided to order the desired documents from local libraries, the National Technical Information Service, or other sources. The Urban Mass Transportation Administration should not be contacted for any publications.
