Scope and Content of Collection

Assortment of papers belonging to San Jose Trolley Corporation/CTRC member and light rail operator Bruce Stevens, documenting Santa Clara Valley transportation planning and light rail development, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265 activities, and historic trolley restoration. Mr. Stevens was president of ATU Local 265 and involved in the Santa Clara County Transit Authority/ATU Local 265 Joint Safety Committee during the early 1990s. Documentation on historic trolley restoration is reflected in the meeting minutes and project plans of the San Jose Trolley Corporation (later the California Trolley and Railroad Corporation). Stevens collected many planning documents related to light rail implementation in the Santa Clara Valley during his work as a coach operator and light rail operator and his efforts representing the ATU.
