Book excerpt: The fight for the future of the city street between pedestrians, street railways, and promoters of the automobile between 1915 and 1930. Before the advent of the automobile, users of city streets were diverse and included children at play and pedestrians at large. By 1930, most streets were primarily a motor thoroughfares where children did not belong and where pedestrians were condemned as “jaywalkers.” In Fighting Traffic, Peter Norton argues that to accommodate automobiles, the American city required not only a physical change but also a social one: before the city could be reconstructed for the sake of motorists, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as places where motorists belonged. It was not an evolution, he writes, but a bloody and sometimes violent revolution. Norton describes how street users struggled to define and redefine what streets were for. He examines developments in the crucial transitional years from the 1910s to the 1930s, uncovering a broad anti-automobile campaign that reviled motorists as “road hogs” or “speed demons” and cars as “juggernauts” or “death cars.” He considers the perspectives of all users—pedestrians, police (who had to become “traffic cops”), street railways, downtown businesses, traffic engineers (who often saw cars as the problem, not the solution), and automobile promoters. He finds that pedestrians and parents campaigned in moral terms, fighting for “justice.” Cities and downtown businesses tried to regulate traffic in the name of “efficiency.” Automotive interest groups, meanwhile, legitimized their claim to the streets by invoking “freedom”—a rhetorical stance of particular power in the United States. Fighting Traffic offers a new look at both the origins of the automotive city in America and how social groups shape technological change.

Book excerpt: This study addresses the development of public transportation in Reno and Sparks, Nevada between 1904 and 1990. Privately owned streetcar service began operations in 1904 but went out of business and ended service in 1927. The Nevada Transit Company (NTC) began to operate the intercity Reno-Sparks bus line in 1927. After a fourteen year gap with no local transit service, Reno Bus Lines began to provide bus service in the City of Reno on a for-profit basis in 1941. Privately operated transit service ceased to be profitable during the 1960s and, overburdened with debt, ended on September 17, 1978. On September 19, 1978 the Regional Transit Commission of Washoe County began operation of publicly owned bus service. This study addresses the national and local trends related to transit's impact on development patterns, financial performance of transit service providers, transit vehicle technology, and public investment in transit service.
