[sustran] Re: Public Transport and Disaster Management

[Todd Alexander Litman]

See the "Evaluating Transportation Resilience" chapter of our Online TDM 
Encyclopedia (http://www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm88.htm), which includes some 
references to the value of transit in disasters. Please let me know if you 
find any information to add.


Best wishes,
-Todd Litman
