VCTC's Newsletter, MAKING TRACKS
VCTC's newsletter MAKING TRACKS is your on-going source for information about our proposal for the 8th St. Corridor as well as other trolley and light-rail transit news. We will inform you about all aspects of our proposal as well as respond to any letters you send to us with questions, comments or concerns. Please send all correspondance to this address.
If you, or someone you know, would be interested in writing articles or taking pictures for MAKING TRACKS, please let us know. We can provide you with topics to write about or, if you'd prefer, please send us an article with a transit related theme and we will consider it for publication (use the issues below for article length guidelines). Also, any photos of transit in the U.S. or around the world will be considered for publication provided a suitable caption and credit are included and the photo is not copyrighted material.
By submitting your article or photo to us, you give us permission to edit and reproduce it in print or on our web site. Please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you would like your article or photo returned to you.
