TRANSPORTATION AND PEOPLE: SPECIAL REPORT

A PHILOSOPHICAL/SOCIOLOGICAL VIEW OF HOW PEOPLE GET FROM WHERE THEY ARE TO WHERE THEY WANT OR NEED TO BE IS THE FOCUS OF THIS SPECIAL REPORT. THE JOYS AND SORROWS OF AUTO- ADDICTION, THE ILLUSORY FREEDOM OF THE OPEN ROAD, HOPES AND FEARS FOR MASS TRANSIT, COMBINE IN AMERICA'S QUEST FOR MOBILITY. TODAY, OUR ROMANCE WITH THE ROAD IS BEING MARRED BY ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS RANGING FROM GROWING POLLUTION AND LACK OF EFFECTIVE CONTROLS TO RELATED ENERGY SHORTAGES. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST ARE THE ARTICLES "AUTOMOBILE ADDICTION: THE ABUSE OF PERSONAL TRANSIT" BY J. P. HUTTMAN, AND "PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT" BY J. M. GOERING AND E. M. KALACHEK.
