Administrative History

Like other War Council agencies, the War Transportation Committee (WTC) directed field agents to execute its programs and supervise local war council efforts. The WTC divided the state into six regions: Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Albany, and New York City. One field agent in each region acted as liaison for the WTC, providing advice to local programs, implementing WTC programs in their regions, and working with the WTC in resolving local transportation problems or disputes.
