Some other places to get links

There are two other great places to get transportation news online that have both been friends to StreetHeat in our first week online. First is a news clips service called, "Los Angeles Tranportation Headlines." Generally, they have a longer list of links than I do, but they also go up a little later in the morning. They can be found at http://losangelestransportation.blogspot.com/.

The second is a digest of national news stories sent out every weekday by Bernie Wagenblast. I’m including a copy of Friday’s links, and at the bottom is information about how to subscribe to his service. It comes in email, and he won’t spam you.
