If you're in charge of transportation duties, the National Transportation Library offers a wealth of online resources to make your job easier. The NTL, created in 1988, was chartered to improve the availability of transportation-related information to public policy decision makers. In the Digital Collection, you'll have access to technical, research and policy documents culled from federal, state, local, tribal, and other government agencies. For example, among the sixteen categories of information you'll find the 1994 Regional Transportation Plan for the San Francisco Bay Area (under Marine/Waterways Transportation), Efficient Access Pricing for Rail Bottlenecks (Rail Transportation), and Implications of Automated Highway Systems on Land Use Patterns (Intelligent Transportation Systems). Most docs are available in HTML or pdf formats. The site also includes a section on reference sources and an Ask-A-Librarian feature.
