There is a separate list available of planning (urban planning and otherwise) resources available on Internet. Contact Colin R. Leech for details. NOTE: This is not yet finished. Please don't bug me for it! I'm working as fast as other priorities will permit me! 2. Additions and corrections are welcome. Please send to Colin R. Leech . Please take a minute to check the information for your list. Note: I do not personally follow all of these lists and newsgroups. 3. Feel free to pass this list along to others who might be interested. 4. My intent is to keep this file as short as possible, so I have limited the amount of description about each resource. Exceptions to this are mailing lists which are not open to the general public. For more information on a mailing list, newsgroup, etc. please check it out yourself. 5. This is not intended to be a complete list of "hobbyist" or environmental lists and newsgroups, in order to minimize the size of the file. However, this is not always possible as many straddle these lines. Feel free to start your own list if you are interested in these areas. >6. [Note on bicycle mailing lists deleted. See below.] 7. This file contains the following sections: - Mailing lists - Usenet newsgroups - other (gopher, ftp, WWW, BBSs, etc.) ------- MAILING LISTS The "subscribe" message (or other commands) is generally placed in the body of an e-mail message which is then sent to the listserv/listproc/ majordomo, unless otherwise noted.

At the moment, messages are handled through his own e-mail. Subscribers e-mail information to Mr. Cebon . The 'Vehicle/Roads E-mail Network' is run by David Cebon on behalf of the International Association of Heavy Vehicle Weights and Dimensions. It aims to facilitate communication between researchers and practitioners interested in the problems of heavy vehicles and roads. Regular news bulletins are published over the network and sent by e-mail to all members. The system has completely open access. Any person working in the field of heavy vehicles and roads can become a member of the network and anyone can submit items for publication over the network. Anyone interested in technical, operational or regulatory aspects of heavy vehicles, road damage, bridges, vehicle/road interaction, weigh-in-motion, heavy vehicle safety, or other related subjects may join the network. ------- >BICYCLE MAILING LISTS: >Most of the major cycling mailing lists are available through >majordomo@cycling.org.

You do not subscribe to these individually as is the case with a mailing list. If you don't know what Usenet is, ask your local system administrator whether you have access to it or not. If your site does not receive Usenet, you are basically out of luck. Relevant international Usenet newsgroups: > misc.transport.air-industry (moderated) > misc.transport.rail.americas > misc.transport.rail.australia-nz > misc.transport.rail.europe > misc.transport.rail.misc > misc.transport.trucking (currently being voted on) > misc.transport.urban-transit (gatewayed to the transit-l list above) > misc.transport.highways (proposal for group not yet submitted) > misc.transport.misc (proposal for group not yet submitted) > rec.railroad Superceded by misc.transport.rail.* > rec.railroad will disappear on July 24, 1995 rec.autos.* hierarchy rec.aviation.* hierarchy rec.bicycles.* hierarchy rec.boats.* hierarchy rec.models.railroad rec.motorcycles.* hierarchy rec.travel.* hierarchy sci.engr.civil (occasionally) sci.aeronautics Aeronautics sci.aeronautics.airliners Airliner technology > comp.infosystems.gis (no longer gatewayed to the gis-l list above) > bit.listserv.railroad (gateway to the railroad list above) > bit.listserv.airline (gateway to the airline list above) > bit.listserv.trans-l (no longer exists - former trans-l list above) Note: Newsgroups in the rec.* hierarchy tend to be oriented more toward hobbyists than professionals. Exceptions that come to mind are rec.bicycles.soc, and rec.railroad which mix both aspects. Relevant local newsgroups: Local newsgroup hierarchies often do not propagate extensively. In this list, I include only those newsgroups which propagate to at least a full city. Newsgroups local to one node or site are excluded.

SEATTLE METRO AND OVERLAKE TMA "RIDERLINK": http://transit.metrokc.gov/ Contact: Catherine Bradshaw or (206) 684-1770 Riderlink is a joint project between Seattle Metro and the Overlake Transportation Management Association. Riderlink provides electronic access to rideshare and transit information and is designed to increase awareness of transportation options and encourage employees to try other commuting options by providing easy to access information. Riderlink also has connections to other WWW sites that provide federal, state and local transportation information. Phase I: January 1995. Phase II: July 1995. Completion: Dec. 1995 What is in Riderlink: Bus routes, schedules and fares (Metro, Community & Pierce Transit) Real time status of Metro bus service Ferry routes and schedules (from WSDOT) On-line ridematch application On-line forms to submit customer feedback to Metro Bicycling information (including Metro's Bike & Ride program) Information about the Commute Trip Reduction Law Road construction and freeway congestion updates (from WSDOT) Information about employer transportation programs (kiosk sites only) Overlake TMA news Dialup Bulletin Boards: About 30 organizations maintain their own bulletin board systems including AASHTO, ITE, EPA, FAA, FTA, McTrans (a clearing house for transportation software), and various universities and DOTs. A list of these BBSs has been compiled by Jerome Maddock and can be obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers BBS at: Modem: (800) 982-4683 in USA [and Canada?] or (202) 863-5487 Settings: 300/1200/2400 baud, N-8-1 or E-7-1 Voice contact: sysop Juan Morales at (202) 554-8050 Services include a free resume-posting service.

FedWorld also has lots of useful files, including White House documents and lists of federal job openings nationwide. To save on long-distance charges, you can use telnet, ftp, or the World Wide Web to reach FedWorld and then access all the BBSs on its gateway.

U71, 1414 22nd St. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037 Availability: can be ordered (above), or in bookstores Feb. 1995 The book has detailed descriptions of nearly 200 BBSs operated by federal agencies and departments, and includes Internet addresses for those boards that have them. The boards offer everything from White House documents to State Department travel advisories to publications about how to start a small business. Accessing all the boards is free (except in some cases for the cost of a long-distance telephone call). The same author is just completing work on a companion book, "How to Access the Federal Government on the Internet," which will contain descriptions of nearly 300 federal government Internet sites. CQ will publish the book in May 1995, and it will cost $19.95. Complete European Railway schedules on CompuServe: (Thanks to Dennis Larson for the pointer to this.) It is a very good program and local people report that it will find smaller towns and also calculate the correct train connections. It also includes Russia. For those people not really familar with Europe, it is a bit difficult as there are many stations in places like Paris and London. Questions to answer include departure station and desired route (often many choices!) There are versions in German or English. Of course German is the first choice as the service comes from German Federal Railways. For those on CompuServe: go railway or go bahn Railroad material on WWW and FTP: There are a number of railroad WWW pages available. The most comprehensive are #1 and #2 below: 1.
