Los Angeles County Metro Transportation Authority Library and Archive

We’ve come a long way in 25 years! Here’s our metro system map from 2000 and our newest one that dropped this week showing the new LAX Metro Transit Center! Go Metro!

First time at NACIS! I’ll be presenting on Friday about an online map we’re building at the Metro Library using GIS to map our agency’s historical geotechnical reports. The map will show where geotechnical work has been done in LA County in support of Metro’s transportation planning. And it will help our users/researchers more easily track down historical reports and agency records! More updates to follow.

Here’s a Metro system map from 2017 that also shows future possible Measure M transit projects. What do you see?

Some of our other new titles in the Metro Library.

Excited for this new book for our collection: Electric Moons: A Social History of Street Lighting in Los Angeles, by Metro’s own India Mandelkern. Published by . Congratulations, India!

Clean Transport: After Trying Hydrogen, German Rail Operator Picks Batteries+Grid

After Trying Hydrogen, German Rail Operator Picks Batteries+Grid Hydrogen as an energy carrier plays always fail once spreadsheet jockeys are allowed to enter realistic numbers and compare to clear alternatives, instead of being constrained to fantasies about free hydrogen and delusions about batteries made of gold and platinum.
