The National Transportation Library (NTL) maintains and facilitate
access to statistical and other information needed for transportation decision
making at the federal, state, and local levels. It also coordinates with public
and private transportation libraries and information providers to improve
information within the transportation community.
The library is composed of: a technical collection, a legal collection
and a digital repository. The technical collection contains extensive holdings
on the history of transportation, federal and state reports, technical
transportation journals and current and historical statistical resources. The
legal collection has federal and state statutes, administrative regulations,
treatises, periodicals, government documents, digests, legislative histories
and special collections. The digital repository, NTL’s fastest-growing
collection, serves as a permanent archive for full text statistical, technical,
research and policy documents.
Documents are provided to the NTL by federal, state, local, tribal and
other government agencies as well as University Transportation Centers. The
National Transportation Library provides access to over 200,000 print titles,
500 print periodicals subscriptions and 100 online databases.
The FLICC Great
