About me:

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive is one of the most comprehensive transit operator-owned library resources in the United States. It is the only transportation library in all of Southern California, and its collections and circulation rank it among the top 10 transportation libraries nationwide. The library is a member of OCLC, the largest international library services network (OCLC Symbol: CRD).

The library is a partner of the National Transportation Library, and together we are working to improve the availability of transportation-related information critical to Federal, state and local decision-makers. We aim to provide timely access to information that supports transportation policy, research, operations, and technology transfer.

The library's archive seeks to enhance the understanding of the role public transportation has played in defining Los Angeles for the past 135 years. The collection consists of over 20,000 photographs, films, audio tapes, maps, letters, contracts, hundreds of video tapes, ephemera, books, journals, and artifacts documenting public transportation in the greater Los Angeles area -- dating back to 1873.

Bike Instead of Work Day

Tomorrow May 15th.

Join us!

Gather from 6-9am at Hollywood/Western
and ride at 9 am to City Hall

to deliver the Cyclists' Bill of Rights!!

There will be swag and Hollywood Pro Bike Shop will be offering bicycle tune-ups, all of which will serve to prep the crowd for a ride downtown to "Bang the Drum" at City Hall where we will deliver the Cyclists' Bill of Rights.

This year, after City Hall we head to the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative at USC for free lunch (gotta register online) and a panel discussion on LA's bike plan featuring Erik Knutzen of the BWC (Bike Writers Collective,) Lynne Goldsmith of the Metro and...us, the cycling community!

It all starts at Hollywood & Western in the early hours, goes to City Hall and then to USC.

Join us for a day of "Biking Instead of Working!"

Although the children say that books are for nerds, I think a "Metro Library" can persuade them otherwise. Thanks for the add.

AMERICA IS ADDICTED TO OIL!

Chaos and destruction from global warming, a peak oil crisis threatening economic collapse, or a national security nightmare brought on by our dependence on foreign oil. You choose the reason... the time to ACT is NOW!
