Re: [CTPP] content review

by ALANPISARSKI

The continuing saga of census input. Spent about two hours on answering the questions at the site. This time I was smart enough to copy and paste my inputs in a word file. So , if it didn't work there I have the content. At the end I said yes to being contacted. It asked for name address etc. I typed A and it got filled in by I guess an app in my system with a complete response. I got WRONG FIRST NAME - imagine that - I took the caps out I got WRONG LAST NAME - I really thought I knew my name - I took the caps out I got WRONG PHONE NUMBER - same as last time - redid the number I got WRONG PHONE NUMBER - at least one more time maybe two after retrying options I erased the phone number - the machine was happy with that - so was I I think it made it. someone let me know if it didn't I will send my word file. Not a great way to spend the time.

The online CTPP software is time-consuming and astonishingly counter-intuitive. Does anybody know a quick tip for getting the basic residence-to-work flows by county? I need the data but have a job to do and can't spend a week clunking around at transportation.org/ctpp etc... I'm already signed up for the CTPP webinar in June but need my data before then.

[CTPP] Visualizing CTPP data: SEMCOG developed an interactive mapping tool that shows where people in Southeast Michigan commute to and from

by Gorski

The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) developed an interactive mapping tool that shows where people in Southeast Michigan commute to and from. Best viewed in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. New on SEMCOG's website: Interactive map shows commuting patterns for Southeast Michigan communities Travel to work - showing the connections between the business and labor markets - is one of the defining factors of a regional economy. Travel-to-work data in Southeast Michigan suggests that the SEMCOG region is connected by commuting flows that tie housing markets and job centers across the region into one very strong, cohesive inter-reliant region. Using data from the Census Transportation Planning Package, Commuting Patterns in Southeast Michigan<http://SMCG.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT00MDcxOTkzJnA9MSZ1PTEwMjQwNTU2MTEmbGk9M…>, SEMCOG developed an interactive mapping tool that shows where people in Southeast Michigan commute to and from. Just click on a community and explore. Results will show the number of workers who live and work in the selected community as well as the number of workers who commute to the selected community along with the community where they commute from in a bar chart. The map also colors in the commuting communities. This interactive mapping tool, found at http://semcog.org/mapping/commute_map/index.html is best viewed in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
