Scope and Content Note
This series contains correspondence between the War Transportation Committee (WTC) and its subordinate organizations detailing complaints and problems regarding WTC programs and decisions. This series documents the committee's efforts to enforce both state and federal war-time energy and resource regulations.
Issues discussed include: charter bus regulation; school bus routes (routes followed, length of routes, speeds traveled); gasoline ration allotment; and continuation of routes.
Typical complaints originated with parents who wished to move their children's school bus stops closer to their homes or to have their children be given the right to ride the school bus. Other common complaints concerned gasoline rationing inequities or the cancellation of charter bus routes.
