Dade County rapid transit program records, 1974-1976.
2 boxes (4 linear ft.)
Topical folders and 8.5 x 11 inch reports in Box 1; oversize reports and
maps in Box 2.
Reports, newsletters, minutes, correspondence, maps and related material
connected with the planning stages of the rapid transit project that produced

Group); Dade county master plan sections relating to transportation; citizen
lists and other aspects of citizen participation in planning meetings.
Correspondence is primarily related to the Transit Speakers Bureau and
to the citizen forums of District 7.
Federal regulations for urban transit projects required citizen participation
in the planning process. In planning Metrorail, the role of both the Dade
County Transit Improvement Program Speakers Bureau and the District meetings
was to create a public forum for citizen input. In April 1974, Donald
Gaby was appointed a member of the Speakers Bureau for Dade County's Transit
Improvement Program. He also worked as Vice Chairperson for District 7,
which was known as the Coconut Grove district and also covered Little
Havana, Shenandoah, Coral Gables and Key Biscayne.
