Street Smart
Streetcars and Cities in the 21st Century (Reconnecting America, 2009)
Edited by Gloria Ohland and Shelley Poticha
The second edition of our popular award-winning book on how to plan, finance and build streetcar systems contains an update on the status of the U.S. streetcar movement and case studies of new streetcars in Seattle and Savannah. There's a foreword by U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, chair of the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, and updated contact info for every streetcar project planned or underway in the U.S. This richly illustrated book is intended to promote a learning network among the cities and transit agencies that are interested in building new systems, with or without federal funding.
The book is available from Reconnecting America for $20 each. We offer non-members discount rates for orders of 20 or more copies. To order 15 books or more or for international shipments, please contact Crystal Henle.
