StreetHeat Holiday Shopping Guide
With just seven shopping days left until Christmas, your friendly neighborhood transportation blogger has some holiday ideas for all of you to pass on to all of yours. Unfortunately, I’m way to late for the Eco Gift Expo.


Speaking of memberships, The Transit Coalition and the Southern California Transit Advocates are always looking for new members.
Metro’s online store has a lot of different knick-knacks for sale. I like the token lapel pins. AMTRAK also has an online store.
Since we won’t be seeing high-speed rail coming to SOCAL anytime soon, maybe a gift certificate to AMTRAK isn’t such a bad idea…or heck…why not a whole AMTRAK vacation?
If you have a transit rider who uses Metro and DASH services, you might want to get them a one month EZ PASS, so they can remember what it was like when they didn’t have to pay to transfer between services.
Regardless of your gift choice, we wish you a happy and safe holiday season…
