I know that today (March 26) was a busy day for many of you because of the CB release of the urbanized area list. But, while you are thinking about the Census Bureau, don't forget to submit your comments regarding ACS through their website. A little bird told me that the Census Bureau expected more traffic on this site, and they didn't know if people were waiting until the deadline, or if no one cared. OF COURSE WE (the transportation data community) CARE!
There are 4 areas to which they are asking for comment:
1. data products
2. survey methodology
3.research and evaluation
4. communication
AASHTO will be submitting a consolidated response via the CTPP Oversight Board, so you can give your feedback to Penelope Weinberger pweinberger(a)aashto.org<mailto:pweinberger(a)aashto.org> I have not seen a draft from AASHTO yet, so I can't tell if YOUR topic of interest will be included or not.
I am sure the CB will not be surprised about negative feedback about AFF. :)

If you mean CTPP data at the TAZ level, the Census Bureau says we will
have a special CTPP tabulation of 2006 - 2010 data (for all geographies)
by June 2013. If you are looking for the current 5-year data at
residence, you may try AFF2.

It's just as bad to not make a plan as to blindly follow the one you
already have.

I've tried to answer this question myself looking through listserv
messages and various web pages.
I'm trying to understand the process for FHWA's adjusted urban area
(FAUB/UAB). I looked through what Ed sent on Feb 10th - FHWA updated
page w/ guidance:
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/urbanized_areas_and_mpo_t
ma/
This page has a ton of useful info but I didn't see anything on adjusted
Urban Boundaries (FAUB/UAB/other). Does anyone know about this process,
who is involved (State DOT, Cities, MPOs), and what the possible
timelines are? I thought there was a move in FFC away from designating
Urban vs. Rural Functional Class, perhaps things have changed and FHWA
is no longer using adjusted boundaries this time around?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Kevin

Just to make it official attached is a pdf and text version of today’s
Federal Register from the Census Bureau on designation of urbanized
areas and urban clusters.
Also, here is the link to the Census Bureau page with links to maps,
files and other related information that was distributed yesterday.

Some of you have already found this page using the original materials sent by Mike Ratcliffe, but just in case this makes your life easier...
Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the map showing the new Urbanized Areas. I have not reviewed each to look for adjacency to existing MPOs.

So, now that we have the 2010 UA areas, is there a process to dispute/challenge/request a local review?
