Abstract
The success of the Presidents´ Conference Committee (PCC) car in city service has led to the development of a standard lightweight rapid transit car through the collaboration of the American Transit Association, the Transit Research Corporation, and interested manufacturers. The basic features and equipment of the PCC streetcar have been retained except where conditions peculiar to rapid transit service dictated modifications.
