FTA 50th Anniversary Collection

This collection contains about 500 documents gathered and digitized in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Urban Mass Transportation Act, signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964 to achieve, in his words, "better systems for getting our people to work and home again—and getting them there with speed and safety and economy and comfort." A brief history of mass transit in the U.S. is available at https://www.transit.dot.gov/about/brief-history-mass-transit. Reports in this collection range from approximately 1947-2001.
