[CTPP] FW: C2ER/LMI Institute Webinar: Be Prepared: Accessing Federal Data from Non-Government Websites

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone – I cannot attend this webinar since it is during TRB. The webinar is free to APDU members, and some other groups, but otherwise is $50. It is always good to hear about different data repositories.

This webinar will introduce participants to two data aggregation sites—StatsAmerica and Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED)—that allow users to access data from multiple sources in a quick and efficient manner. These sites are valuable tools regardless of whether the Federal government is open or closed.

Re: [CTPP] What defines a commuter?

by Chen

Hi! Susan, Yes, I did and tried refreshing my memory by going through Q29 to Q45 on ACS questionnaire. Still don't have a clear idea about how to define a commuter. Like when we said " Of the 128 million commuters in 2000, almost 100 million were in nonmetropolitan areas...", who were those commuters and how they responded to census (ACS) questionnaire to be categorized as commuters. Hope this question makes sense to you all. Thanks!

Hi! All, I got an interesting question from our management. They want to know if we can define a commuter by how many work trips this particular person make during certain period of time (a day, a week or a year). The simple definition I found online to describe a commuter is "a person who travels some distance to work on a regular basis." This brings up two basic questions: 1. How do we determine "some distance"? 2. How do we determine "regular basis"? I could not find a clear definition regarding commuter in Commuting in America III though we talked about commuter population throughout the report. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated!

[CTPP] Census 2010 vs 5-year ACS for TAZs

by Geoff Olson

Hello Everyone, Ive gotten started on our long range transportation plan, and one area we have an issue with is Census data. We've got 2010 Census data for our population and household counts, but we will also need the 5-year ACS data of number of households by household size by household income. We would prefer to use 2010 population counts for the base year of the model so we've decided there are two options. We could use the 5-year ACS data for our base model year population and household counts, but that doesn't create a true picture of 2010. The other option is we could mix datasets and proportionately apply characteristics of the 5-year ACS data to the 2010 counts. Can anyone give us some guidance needing to use both datasets on the same project? Thank you, Geoff Olson Transportation Planner Bi-State Regional Commission 1504 3rd Ave. P.O.

Re: [CTPP] No. of vehicles physically located in households.

you can also get veh/household from the profiles on the AASHTO CTPP page. http://download.ctpp.transportation.org/profiles_2012/Transportation_Profil… Ed C > On Jan 2, 2014, at 12:42 PM, Weinberger Penelope <pweinberger(a)aashto.org> wrote: > > One way is to take aggregate vehicles for an area and divide it by total households for an area.

Re: [CTPP] No. of vehicles physically located in households.

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

I am not sure what your question is, but I will try to answer it. The Question in the ACS reads: “How many automobiles, vans and trucks of one-ton capacity or less are kept at home for use by members of this household?” The answer can be 0-1-2-3-4-5, or 6+ There are MANY tables in the CTPP which include this variable, but if you are interested in the AGGREGATE number of vehicles in households, you can use B111103 “Aggregate vehicles in households”. Since it is a B Table, which uses the privacy protected ACS microdataset, there are possibly problems because the weights are adjusted for workers and not households. So, you MIGHT prefer to use a Set A Table instead, such as A111102 which is a univariable distribution of Vehicles Available.

Re: [CTPP] No. of vehicles physically located in households.

by Weinberger Penelope

One way is to take aggregate vehicles for an area and divide it by total households for an area. You can get Aggregate Vehicles from B111103 - Aggregate Number of Vehicles Available in Households (1) (Occupied housing units) and Total Households from A112209 - Household size (5) by Number of workers in household (6) (Households) So for Pima County Arizona you get 641035 vehicles and 381880 Households yielding 1.68 Cars per Household.
