Week 6 - Blog Review

Los Angeles Transportation Headlines is a blog that not only aggregates news about public transportation   in the LA area but provides information on public transportation and green commuting in general. The blog is controlled by the Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library. As the blog itself mentions:

"We are strong advocates of using social media tools to connect communities and research."

The main page of the blog lists recent news headlines about  what's happening to public transit or laws/regulations/etc. pertaining to public transit in the LA Area. Posts also feature entries on not just "automobile transport" but information on cyclists, skateboarders, and pedestrians. Perhaps the most useful function the blog provides are the directories at the top which feature links to other libraries that chronicle information about public transit or research about public transit in general, other public transit-centric blogs, articles on significant metro issues, links to histories of public transit, and a list of what organization attempt to affect public transit that also accept advocacy from civilians.
