Request tracking forms: Arranged by request-type, then alphabetical by county or organization name.

Card file: Arranged by request-type, then alphabetical by name of applicant.

The War Transportation Committee (WTC) was responsible for ensuring that bus routes started during the war did not overlap with existing routes and waste precious automotive resources. Organizations were required to apply to the committee for permission before initiating new omnibus or charter bus lines.

This series contains forms and index cards created by the WTC to track each county's or organization's request for bus transportation. The forms list the applicant, proposed route, sometimes its purpose, and the date when the line was discontinued, if it was approved. Forms exist for charter bus, omnibus, and summer camp bus lines.

The card file is divided into charter, school and omnibus lines. Each card lists the applicant, company or organization, destination or route, purpose, the date request received, and the date acted upon.
