New York State War Council War Transportation Committee Supervisory Directives

Arranged by document type.

This series contains orders, regulations, and bulletins issued by organizations to which the War Transportation Committee was subordinate such as the New York State War Council, the federal Office of Defense Transportation, Office of Defense Health and Welfare Services, Office of Price Administration, and Federal Security Agency. They were used by the committee to guide its efforts in coordinating the conservation of transportation resources. Issues such as rationing of fuel, rubber, and other automotive resources; bus, taxi, and automobile operations and restrictions; passenger and freight train regulations; and general transportation prohibitions are detailed in these materials.

While most of the materials pertain to transportation issues, regional bulletins from the Federal Security Agency provide broad overviews of selected New York cities detailing demographics relating to health, transportation, and other issues.

This series was originally accessioned as boxes 281, 283, and half of 292 of old collection #77, accession -71.

There are no restrictions regarding access to or use of the material.
