New York State War Council War Transportation Committee Publicity Files

Arranged by topic.

The War Transportation Committee utilized newspapers, radio, billboards, and posters to promote car pooling, bus use, and conservative driving habits. This series contains correspondence, broadsides, posters, and newspaper clippings documenting the committee's efforts to promote the conservation of transportation resources. The correspondence is primarily between the committee and the War Council's public relations agency, the War Information Service, and other organizations, federal and private, involved in the war effort. Also found is information on the "Double-up" sticker program, in which cars that participated in car pools or group rides received special window stickers.

Folder list is available at the repository.
