I am passing on a question from one of our strategic planners. "Where
can I find data on Mode of transportation for work trips by county,
travel time to work by county, number of commuters by community/city,
and carpool commuter activity by community/city?" If anyone knows where
to find this information (state of Utah), please let me know.
Thank you!

Hi Dan -- At the webinar we held on urbanized areas in June 12, 2009,
the concept of the CB sharing code instead of each agency having to
re-invent the wheel to analyze the impacts of new definitions was
raised, and Mike Radcliffe said they would consider it.
We know Mike (and April Avnayim) read this listserv, so maybe they will
give us an update!
For those of you who missed the June 12, 2009 webinar, it is archived.
Census Plans for Defining Urbanized Areas
http://fhwa.na3.acrobat.com/p20171907/ At that time, the CB planned to
release the Fed Register notice in October, 2009, but as of this date,
they have not posted them.
The Q&As from that session are available in our CTPP web meeting room:

Has anyone got word of the Census Bureau releasing any GIS tools that
will aid in creating the Urban Area using the criteria? It would be
disappointing to spend the time coding a model only to find out there
was already an app for that. Thanks.

Garth--I am posting this to the Listserve since it is a common question
and its important that we update everyone. You are right that we have
been waiting for the Federal Register notice announcing the criteria
that the Census Bureau will use for defining Urbanized area. You are
equally right that it was expected in the fall of 2009. Unfortunately
it has not come out yet and we are hoping to see it by the Spring of
2010. From what I have been told it has been drafted and is wending its
way up the Census Bureau hierarchy to get all the approvals and sign
offs. for now we can sit and wait for the process to do its thing.
Incidentally, I am working with Mike Ratcliffe from Census Geography on
a workshop that we will be having at the GIS-T conference in April where
we will have the whole issue of Urbanized Area criteria on the agenda.
Needless to say we are both hopeful that the Register notice will
be out by then.

While the Census Bureau seeks input and comments on the criteria for delineating urban areas, the delineation process is carried out solely by the Census Bureau. We define urban areas for statistical purposes only-- for purposes of tabulating and presenting statistical data for individual urban areas and the urban and rural components of the population, housing, and land area of the nation, states, and other geographic areas. Although we are cognizant of other agencies' particular uses of our urban areas or urban/rural classification for implementing programs, we do ntake those uses into account when delineating urban areas. This has been the case since the Census Bureau first began identifying urban areas in 1910 and urbanized areas in 1950.
So, to be clear, we have no plans to release an app for delineating urban areas.

Dear CTPP community:
Perhaps you have an idea for a data-related (or any other) project that
could be funded under this FHWA solicitation (see the list of priority
topics below).
"FHWA strongly encourages cost sharing under any contract that may
result, and can offer cooperative agreements if the proposer can offer a
cost share of 50 percent from non-federal sources of funding...The FHWA
strongly encourages proposals that offer a significant non-federal
matching funds or in-kind resources. Cost reasonableness and realism
will also be considered in the overall selection process."
