Railtown: The Fight for the Los Angeles Metro Rail and the Future of the City, by Prof. Ethan N. Elkind, JD - the Book Club's first selection
(July 2016), and the official Book Club logo.
Began July 2016, TransportiCA's Book Club features monthly selections true to our mission of sustainable transportation, as well as, covering a variety of additional and related transportation elements: infrastructure and resiliency, transit-oriented development, smart growth, and smart cities, shared mobility services, intelligent transportation systems, and many others!
Each month, when we announce the selection, we also have a contest consisting of three questions pertaining to the book's author. Whose ever name is randomly drawn with all three correct answers wins a copy of the selection. (This contest is NOT limited to U.S. residents; we all benefit from global insights, and TransportiCA greatly appreciates our followers abroad!)
We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the selections, and their amazing content. Questions for this month's Book Club selection contest are located below the month's selection photo.
