A solid starting point for any transportation related Intemet search should begin with a search of the
BTS home page (http:/lwww.bts.gov). The BTS was mandated by Congress through the ISTEA and
was charged with the task of compiling, analyzing, and making accessible transportation information.
The BTS site, established in 1995, is accessible through a variety of Intemet tools, including FOP,
Gopher, and World Wide Web. Many of the BTS products can be both accessed and ordered at this
site.
Further information on the BTS site, as well as the listing of other transportation related Internet
sources are provided below.

Additional sites are available and new ones are constantly being added. A majority of the Internet
addresses are current as of 6/30/95, although updates have been provided where possible.
4.! Mailing Lists
Mbiling Lists are used to bring people together with similar interests and allows the distribution of
information pertaining to a particular-topic, as well as--enabling discussion on that topic. To join, you-
must have an Intemet accessible e-mai! address which is then added to a distribution list by following a
given set of instructions for that mailing list.
"Generally, mailing lists are accessible with the following entries: The "subscribe" message (or other
commands) is generally placed in the body of an e-mail message which is then sent to the address for
the listserv/listproc/majordomo, unless otherwise noted. The "Subject:" line is generally ignored. For

4.2 TELNET and r1P Sites
.
Telnet allows a computer user in one location to establish an on-line connection with another computer
in another location. It allows the user's computer to utilize the remote computer system as if it were
physically located there. Although telnet is one of the original Inter net tools and much of the
information is now available on other Internet tools (e.g., World wide Web), it can still be useful for
connecting to databases, library catalogs, campus directories, and a variety of information resources
around the world.
File Transfer Protocol COP) is an Intemet tool that lets you transfer (send and receive) files from one
Intemet connected computer to another. Files capable of being transferred include text fees, software
programs, graphic images, sounds, etc. The FTP sites are usually organized by directories and are a
more efficient method oftransfer~ing large data files over the Intemet. Many FTP files, however, may
transfer in a compressed form and need to be decompressed or '`unzipped" which require special
decompression tools (e.g., PKUN~P) which are available at many FTP sites.
