Transportation Database

North Sound Connecting Communities Project (NSCCP)

North Sound Planning Compendium and Database

This database is a bibliographic source of planning documents, resources, reports, and published materials relevant to North Puget Sound regional transportation issues. It was compiled as part of the project funded by a USDOT-Federal Transit Administration grant described at our website:  www.acadweb.wwu.edu/nsccp

It gathers together a range of useful information from North Sound local and Washington State jurisdictional planning documents, to a variety of articles, some of which might be missed in a standard literature search. Most of the selections are about planning and public transportation issues. It was compiled in 2004-2005 by Western Washington University, Huxley College of the Environment graduate research assistants Cari McMullin and Jill Leonetti. The M.S. Access database format was created by Steve Rybolt and Cari McMullin. The research assistants worked under the direction of Preston L. Schiller

It can be searched by Title, Author, and Category (Ferry, Transit, Rail, Policy, Planning and Other). In some cases the “Author” is a public agency or other corporate body. A sample entry page is included below. For each entry a location where the document is available is identified. Some of the locations are only on the websites identified.  Others are available through libraries or planning agencies. A few are available as hard copies in our files at Huxley College of the Environment.
