Hi Everyone -
Yesterday, at the CTPP Oversight Board meeting, Brian McKenzie of the Census Bureau informed us that although this was originally planned for May 2015, the new date for the product release is "early August" 2015.
As mentioned in earlier posts regarding this file, it will include total workers, and a short list of travel modes: Drive Alone, carpool, transit, and other.

I must have been unclear, I mean all users who have clients for whom they use this data set.

Hi,
If you are a vendor, or consultant, or academic, who uses the CTPP data please email me at pweinberger(a)aashto.org<mailto:pweinberger(a)aashto.org> We are in the process of developing the next data request and we would like your input on several things. Please send me your contact info. Thanks!

Elaine,
I retained a print of the 1980 UTPP 'Data Dictionary' for the various tape files. Is this what you are seeking?

Hi Everyone -- (Ed started working on his response before me!)
ALL of the 1990 CTPP are available at BTS. The easiest way is to use a search engine and say "BTS 1990 CTPP".
JJ Zang our CTPP tech support will download the 1990 file documentation and send it directly to Chuck Purvis.
Re: 1990 CTPP outside of metropolitan areas. The Census Bureau was not confident about geocoding workplace locations outside of metropolitan areas at that point in time.
Re: 1980 CTPP When Nanda Srinivasan worked for the CTPP program, he collected a FEW files from States and MPOs. Most of these are flat ASCII files. We are looking for file layout information. If you have a copy of the file layout (that is, which columns are which variables), please send to me. This was back in the days where, the part 1 record was in 8 "segments". We can probably figure it out, by dumping records to print, but that sounds painful. My goal is to send these files to ICPSR at Univ of Michigan but they want files in SAS format.

Subject: [CTPP] 1990 and 2000 CTPP contents
Hi all!
Ed or Elaine will probably be able to answer my question, but all might (or might not) be interested.
I’m interested in developing a historical database showing tract-level data on total population, land area, and workers-at-workplace, for 1990, 2000 and 2006/10. I want this at a statewide (California) level, not just for the metropolitan areas. This is part of an ongoing research project on describing changes in rural/suburban/urban patterns in California (perhaps elsewhere, as well).
The 2006/10 CTPP includes a tract-level summary level, so I have been able to obtain a statewide, census tract level file of workers-at-work from Part 2 tables.
Similarly, about 11 years ago I extracted a block group-level file of population (Census SF3) and workers-at-work (CTPP 2000, Part 2), which is easily aggregated to census tract level.
The 1990 CTPP is the first “nationwide” CTPP product. The “statewide” element includes place-to-place, county-to-county for ALL counties in the USA, including rural (non-metropolitan) counties. On the other hand, the “urban” elements of the CTPP is restricted to metropolitan counties, and the finest level geographies are either TAZ, block group or census tract. Whether or not the TAZes aggregate to census tracts is unknown.
So, am I correct to assume that the Part 2 (workplace tables) from the 1990 CTPP do NOT include tract-of-work data for non-metropolitan counties? That’s my central question.
A secondary question is: is there a scanned/PDF version of the 1990 CTPP documentation? (I searched my old website, and I don’t think I have it in electronic format….)
I know that the 1980 UTPP was only completed for metropolitan areas, on a cost-reimbursable basis. Some MPOs in California didn’t participate in the 1980 program.
That’s all for now!
