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!

RE: [CTPP] CTPP Snapshot: What you need to know right nowREGISTRATION NOW OPEN for March 11 webinar

Yeah -- I noticed that when I posted it it broke up the http address. Hope that everyone figures this out! Yes, you can access via a conference room, if someone can LOG IN using a machine in the conference room. So, for example, if YOU sign up, and then log in, it should work OK. -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Canzoneri, Diana Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 2:48 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: RE: [CTPP] CTPP Snapshot: What you need to know right nowREGISTRATION NOW OPEN for March 11 webinar Elaine, This will so very helpful. Thank you for organizing this! When pasting in the link you supplied I did initially have trouble linking to the registration webpage until I figured out that I needed to remove the line break and run the URL text together. One question: if we want to have a bunch of City of Seattle folk access the webinar from one or two conference rooms, how do we do that instead of accessing via our own workstations? -Diana Diana Canzoneri Demographer & Senior Policy Analyst Seattle Planning Commission Staff (206) 615-1269 diana.canzoneri(a)seattle.gov Stand Up, Be Counted! www.2010census.gov -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Elaine.Murakami(a)dot.gov Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 2:01 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net; tmip-l(a)listserv.tamu.edu Subject: [CTPP] CTPP Snapshot: What you need to know right now REGISTRATION NOW OPEN for March 11 webinar Please register today for the CTPP Snapshot webinar.

[CTPP] Synthetic Data for PUMA using 2005-2007 ACS

by Liang Long

On February 23, Joseph Sakshaug, a Ph.D. Candidate from University of Michigan, gave a presentation at the Census Bureau on data synthesis for small geographic areas. Joe?s research is motivated by the increasing demand for microdata for small geographic areas with simultaneous increase in restrictions of data release at small geography due to the risk of disclosure. While Joe?s research is not focused on transportation data, his research is likely useful to our needs for the CTPP using ACS records. His research utilized county-level data from the 2005-2007 American Community Survey (ACS) and applied it to PUMA geography. He applied a Hierarchical Bayesian model to simulate the synthetic values while accounting for homogeneity within each geographical unit at the PUMA level. Joe tested many variables, including household income, age etc. In his validation the synthetic data were very close to the actual surveys with respect to distributions and means. Joe indicated that the method can be extended to smaller geographic areas such as census tract and block groups. The Westat team working on the NCHRP 08-79 project "Producing Transportation Data Products from the American Community Survey that Comply with Disclosure Rules" also attended the meeting. Joe can be reached by joesaks(a)umich.edu if you want to get more information about his research. Thanks!

My go-to document is Polzin's "Public Transit in America": http://144.171.11.107/Main/Blurbs/Public_Transit_in_America_Results_from_th… I dont' remember the table number, but he compares JTW and NHTS in detail.

[CTPP] Aggregating Census TAZs

by Tom Krenzke

Has anyone tried aggregating Census TAZs for the nation into something larger (e.g., 20K in population) that still makes sense for transportation planning (e.g., corridors, MIS, Districts, planning areas etc.)? Or do you have an algorithm that combines TAZs? If you do, would you have a correspondence file to share with us, and the purpose for which this aggregation was made? Thanks, --Tom Krenzke Westat

[CTPP] Journal of Transport and Land Use Vol. 2 No. 3 published

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

The CTPP community may be interested in this journal since the focus is on commuting and spatial structures. The paper by Patuelli uses administrative records (similar to LEHD OTM). The paper by Verhetsel is 31 mg, so my machine was unhappy trying to save it (and I was impatient). My apologies for duplicate postings.
