I don't get where transportation data collection invades people's
privacy. People generally fill out travel surveys with no problems.

I am pleased to provide an electronic copy of the latest final report
in
the NCHRP 08-36 series on Task 71: Disclosure Avoidance Techniques to
Improve ACS Data Availability for Transportation Planners. The report
is
posted at http://www.trb.org/NotesDocs/NCHRP08-36(71)_FR.pdf. The
report was prepared by Cambridge Systematics.
Abstract: Data dissemination rules initiated by the DRB caused
significant loss of data for CTPP 2000, and are expected to cause an
even more serious loss when applied to products emanating from the
American Community Survey. This report summarizes the development and
testing of synthetic data techniques that the Census Bureau could
employ
to provide alternative data, particularly in regards to
journey-to-work
flow data at small geography from the Decennial Census (or from the
5-year accumulation of the American Community Survey). Multi-year ACS
data tables are inherently protected from potential harmful disclosure
of participants, and therefore do not require further disclosure
restrictions. However, if disclosure-proofing is nevertheless deemed
necessary, using a form of data synthesis is probably the best
approach
from the viewpoint of the transportation planning data user. This
research examines alternative data synthesis approaches that could be
employed for multi-year ACS journey-to-work tables, including
iterative
proportional fitting, combined Bayesian/iterative proportional
fitting,
and the Generalized Shuttle Algorithm.
Disclaimer: This project was conducted at the request of the AASHTO
Standing Committee on Planning as part of NCHRP Project 08-36. Please
note that the report did not go through the usual rigorous review
process established and monitored by the Transportation Research Board
Executive Committee or the Governing Board of the National Research
Council, and should not be referred to as a "TRB Report". It should be
described as a contractor's report conducted for the AASHTO Standing
Committee on Planning with funding provided through the National
Cooperative Highway Research Program Project 08-36.
Regards,
Nanda Srinivasan

Now that I have your attention, I have an important announcement!
All of the sessions from the Houston conference, May 17-21, are now
available. What a wonderful resource!
http://teachamerica.com/APP09/index.html
The federal data workshop was held on Sunday. It included 4 topics:
1. CTPP-Ed Christopher
2. ACS-Melissa Chiu and Elaine Murakami
3. LEHD-Matt Graham
4. NHTS - Heather Contrino
To find out what all those acronyms are, please watch and listen to the
session!
Currently, to navigate to Melissa Chiu's presentation on ACS, you have
to go to the Alphabetical list by presenter's last name, it is missing
in the Chronological sort for the Sunday session. I have asked the
conference chair to see if the Sunday session can be corrected.
I am sure you will enjoy many of the sessions!
Elaine
Thank you Elaine.
I appreciate the effort your are going through.

Dear Everyone - Your VOCIFEROUS complaints are heard and I am trying my
best to address them.
NOTE: If you are ALREADY REGISTERED, please DO NOT re-register. Later
this week, Ed will send out a notice with the ROOM (URL), telephone and
passcode. Because of getting more slots, we are being moved to a NEW
ROOM.
On Friday, June 12, 2009 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern, FHWA will host
a webinar on the Census Bureau's plans for "new" Urbanized Areas (UA)
boundaries. The UA boundaries are extremely important for
transportation planning and programming because they begin to define the
area and population counts used for many of the Federal funding
programs. Simply put, the UA population means money. The UA boundary
is also important as it begins to define the core area from which MPOs
evolve. The webinar is open to anyone with internet access on a first
come first served basis. Pre registration is required. Space is
limited. For those unable to attend, the session will be recorded.
To attend you must pre-register. To register go to

Webinar
Census Bureau's Planning for Urbanized Areas
Friday, June 12, 2009
1:00PM to 3:00 PM (Eastern)
The session will include speakers from the Census Bureau's Geography
Division and FHWA staff who will discuss the transportation perspective.
There will be plenty of time for questions and answers. The session
is targeted to individuals with transportation planning responsibilities
who need to understand the plans and processes under consideration that
will be used to define UAs.

Mr. Christopher,
I'm following up from my email sent to you last Thursday concerning me
not being able to sign on to the webinar. I see on the ctpp-news
Digest, Vol 64, Issue 1 that other MPOs are having the same difficulty.
Since this webinar defines the core area from which MPOs evolve, can
this webinar be rebroadcasted so that all MPOs can be a part of the same
questions/answer session? This would be an advantage over viewing a
recorded session.
Thanks for your consideration,

Unfortunately we were unable to sign up because all the space was taken.
Do you plan on broadcasting this session again? As a regional census
