Annual reports of the Seattle Transit
System, 1940 to 1971.
Collection materials are in
English.
Historical Note
The Seattle Transportation Commission operated the public transit system
from 1939 to 1951; the Seattle Transit Commission operated the bus system from
1951 until 1971, when it was transferred to Metro. The public transportation
system was called the Seattle Transit System during these years.
The annual reports of the Seattle Transit System date from 1940 to 1971.
The early reports contain information on changes in public transportation, such
as taking out rail cars and replacing them with trolleys or buses. The reports
contain statistics on accidents, passengers and financial information as well
as information on fare structure, lines, and other issues. The reports during
the 1940s are engineering reports from outside companies. In the 1950s, the
reports are almost entirely statistical. In the 1960s, the reports contain
brief narratives but are primarily statistical.
Annual reports are arranged chronologically by year.
Records are open to the public.
