This came across the census news today. This could be the start of
something big.
Web Transformation
Census Application Programming Interface (API) — The Census Bureau is
releasing its first ever API. This online service provides the building
blocks for developers to design online and mobile apps, such as
interactive maps, charts and databases, using a variety of Census Bureau
statistics. The API provides statistics down to the neighborhood level
(tracts and block groups) from the 2010 Census Summary File 1 and the
2006-2010 American Community Survey. With these two datasets available
in the form of an API, database editors and other developers have easier
access to a wide variety of timely, localized information, including
population totals, age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, home ownership,
education, income, employment, commuting and occupation. The API is
currently undergoing beta testing and is scheduled for public release in
July. More information about the API can be found at
<http://www.census.gov/developers/>.

will be limited.
CTPP training is a day and a half of data, data issues, census, CTPP and
hands on training and work with the data and CTPP products. You will
gain an in depth understanding of how and when to use the data set and
software, along with a deep knowledge of the pitfalls and advantages.
A laptop with internet access (to available wifi) and a CD reader is

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

I don't know how long these tools have been available on the NHTS website, but I found them a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would share the link because these ideas might be useful for :
1. People who are working on the Commuting in America project
2. People who have their own regional or statewide household survey and plan for interactive web-based data access tools

NTD recently released their guidelines, their Allocation of NTD Data/2010 Census form letter, and 2 spreadsheets showing the urbanized areas in the US and their corresponding populations. These are the UZAs and population that must be used. If your transit coverage also includes areas outside of these UZAs, then there's accommodation for that as well.

And a presentation:
http://councilmeetings.metc.state.mn.us/Transportation/2012/0611/UA_overvie…
Just to summarize some key areas (Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect/plain wrong):
? MPOs will locally adjust the UZA and States will get those approved by the FHWA. Maps showing those boundaries must go to FHWA with letters from MPO and the Governor. Deadline? Summer of 2013?
? FHWA would require States to upload these shape files: Deadline, June 2014. Is it the same deadline to submit Functional Classification??
? The NEW Adjusted UZA boundary will be used to change the "rural" designation to "urban" for HPMS purpose and Functional Class purpose.
? The new Adjusted UZA boundary will be used to provide outdoor advertising control.
? The impact of adjusted UZA boundary will be minimal on Apportionment formula (from change in rural to urban classification of minor collectors) and & it is NOT required to adjust the UZA boundary, unless the MPO or the State wants to.
? Distribution of STP funds guarantee that a minimum of 110% of the amount of funds for Federal Aid Secondary system must be spent in rural areas. A rural area is defined as the area outside the Adjusted UZA. State can exclude this FAUA (Adjusted Urbanized Area) from spending its monies that is allocated for rural roadways.
? FTA and FHWA will both use the census defined UZA population/density data for FY2013 (not the adjusted UZA).

The Census 2010 New Urban areas are already available to download from the Census Bureau TIGER website. You will need to select "Urban Areas" in the drop down arrow list.
http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles2010/main
FTA's Urbanized Area Formula program can be found in this website. FTA will use Census released its 2010 Urbanized Area (UZA) designations and accompanying population and population density data for the formula apportionments beginning in Fiscal Year 2013.

Subject: [CTPP] NTD Urbanized Area
beginning of an email from NTD regarding transit operators and 2010 urbanized areas:
As most of you already know, the US Census Bureau has recently announced a new set of Urbanized Areas based on the results of the 2010 Decennial Census. Additionally, FTA is required by law to use these new Urbanized Areas for the Fiscal Year 2013 Apportionment, which will be based on NTD Report Year 2011 Data. We are expecting that the Census Bureau will very soon be releasing the final Urbanized Area Boundary maps from the 2010 Census. This e-mail is to provide you with additional information on how that process will work.
Upon release the Census Boundary maps for the 2010 Census, each of you must identify which Urbanized Area (UZA) or Areas are served by your transit system. In addition, you will need to identify whether your transit systems services any rural or non-urbanized areas. An area is served by your transit system if you pick up passengers in that area. (Note: Some demand response systems allow passengers to travel to a particular location, but do not allow trip originations in that area. In this case, do not list these destinations as ?served? by your transit system.) Please note that you must identify all areas served by your system, regardless of whether or not you plan to allocate service data to those areas.
Is this the same as the already released Census urbanized areas (what is new from what has already been released?) Can we submit our Federal Aid Adjusted Urban Area instead?
Or just stick to a Census define boundary of urbanized.
Thanks

Here's the latest update on the Congressional ACS hearing...
If any of our CTPP friends attend or sent in testimony and want to
report back I am sure those on this listserve would be interested in
hearing from you.
-----Original Message-----
From: Terri Lowenthal [mailto:terriann2k(a)aol.com]
Good afternoon, Census Project stakeholders.
Just a reminder that the congressional Joint Economic Committee will
hold a hearing tomorrow (June 19) at 2:30PM to review the economic
consequences of eliminating the Census Bureau's American Community
Survey and other federal surveys (such as the quinquennial Economic
Census). The Census Project encourages stakeholders in the Washington,
DC area to attend this hearing in person, to demonstrate strong interest
in and support for the ACS and other core Census Bureau programs. See
the link on my Facebook page for more details about the hearing.
However, if you are unable to attend, the committee will web case the
hearing. Here's the link (to the best of our knowledge ... if it
doesn't work, please go to the Joint Economic Committee home page!):
http://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=Hearings&ContentRecord_id=831b…
Also, FYI, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who is presiding over the JEC
hearing, will hold a short press conference at noon tomorrow at the
House press "Triangle," to call more attention to the serious
consequences of the House vote to eliminate the ACS and to encourage
cooler heads to prevail. In addition to Rep. Maloney and a few other
members of Congress, Wade Henderson (President/CEO of the Leadership
Conference on Civil and Human Rights) and senior representatives from
the National Association of Realtors and National Electrical
Manufacturers Association will speak.
For those of you who don't follow the legislative agenda closely, there
is still no word on when the U.S. Senate will consider the FY13
Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations bill. Due to a whole
range of election year politics, it might not before the election.
However, at some point before this Congress adjourns, lawmakers must
agree on a funding bill for the Census Bureau for fiscal year 2013, and
they must resolve the issues of ACS funding, voluntary versus mandatory
ACS response, and adequate funding for 2020 Census planning and the 2012
Economic Census. So we must use the time now to continue educating all
lawmakers (both chambers, both parties!) about the importance of the ACS
and the serious policy implications of eliminating the survey or making
response voluntary.
Thanks for your continued support and efforts. We will keep you posted!

I got this email from friend Terri Ann at the The Census Project
-------------
Good evening, Census Project colleagues.
A brief follow-up to Phil Sparks' earlier memo regarding the Joint
Economic Committee hearing scheduled for June 19, to review the
consequences of eliminating the Census Bureau's American Community Survey
and Economic Census.
1. Below is a hearing notice from congressional staff. As Phil
mentioned, the hearing is open to the public, and we urge census/ACS
stakeholders in the Washington, DC area to attend, to demonstrate interest
in and concern about this issue.
2. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), House Democrat on this bipartisan (evenly
divided), bicameral committee, will preside over the hearing. Rep.
Maloney has invited stakeholder organizations to submit testimony "for the
hearing record." For those unfamiliar with this procedure, a committee
may include, in the official hearing record, statements from interested
parties who did not testify at the hearing. The statement should be
directly relevant to the topic of the hearing. While it usually can be of
any length, I suggest statements between one and five pages only (single
or double spaced), concise and to the point, demonstrating concrete
consequences to your organization, members, or constituency of eliminating
these vital, core Census Bureau programs.
Statements should bear the title, committee name, and date of the hearing
at the top. The first sentence or two should indicate in some fashion
that you are submitting the statement for the hearing record (and
appreciate the opportunity to do so!). Here's an example:
Written Statement of Americans for Census Data, Inc.
Submitted for the Hearing Record
"The Economic Impact of Ending or Reducing Funding for the American
Community Survey and Other Government Statistics"
Joint Economic Committee
Congress of the United States
June 19, 2012
It is appropriate to begin your statement by addressing the senior
committee members from both parties (whether or not they are in
attendance): "Congresswoman Maloney (presiding), Chairman Casey, Vice
Chairman Brady, Senator DeMint, and Rep. Hinchey: Thank you for the
opportunity to submit a statement for the official hearing record,
expressing [name of organization]'s deep concern about the proposed
elimination of the Census Bureau's American Community Survey and the
possible cancellation of the 2012 Economic Census due to insufficient
funding in fiscal year 2013." (Of course, feel free to address one or the
other or both of those specific Census Bureau programs, based on the focus
and work of your organization or institution.)
You may submit all statements electronically to the Office of Rep. Carolyn
Maloney, attn: Elizabeth Darnall, at <Elizabeth.Darnall(a)mail.house.gov>.
Be sure to include a clear subject matter line for Elizabeth: "Statement
for the Hearing Record in Support of the ACS/Economic Census" (or
something similar). You should send statements to Elizabeth no later than
close of business on Monday, June 18. (Sorry for the short notice, but
that's how things work on the Hill!)
Those of you with state and local organizations/institutions should
consider sending a copy of your statement, with a brief cover note/email
of explanation, to your own representatives and senators, to let them know
of your continued concern about and interest in this issue.

Reading the documentation of the two data resources: always a good place to start.
At regional or state level of summary, totally different data frames is your main issue:
a. Census ACS counts workers through a household survey, relying on individually-provided info on work. Many kinds of work are counted, including self-employment and occasional casual work.
b. Meanwhile, the LED uses the data frame of BLS QCEW, counting wage & salary jobs that are "covered" by the Unemployment Insurance system. In Minnesota, over 20% of BEA-counted jobs (a broader employment concept) are outside of this frame, are *not* covered, and thus not counted in LED.
At local level, there are still other issues:
a. How well can Census ACS represent job locations?
b. And does the LED program move its workplace locations around on the map, in order to obscure exact location?
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Subject: [CTPP] ACS/CTPP vs LEHD
I've sent the following query to both the ACS and CTPP but have not (yet) received a response. I was hoping someone on the mailing list might be able to provide assistance.
I've been working with Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD)in On the Map. Specifically worker inflow/outflow analysis at the county level. I've discovered that there is a significant difference between the LEHD data and ACS Place of Work data from the 2008-10 3-Year ACS product. I've found that for the Middle Tennessee (Nashville) region the % of workers residing outside their home county is nearly 17 percentage points higher in the LEHD data than in the ACS data. Please see the attached table.
I've been tasked with determining the reason(s) for this difference. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated
