[CTPP] ABJ30(1) Call for Posters - CTPP 2012-2016: New Data Analyses and Uses

by Reschovsky

Dear colleagues, The Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee of the Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee, ABJ30(1) invites you to submit posters for a session focusing on CTPP 2012-2016: New Data Analyses and Uses. Abstracts are due on September 5th. More information is below. Call Title CTPP 2012-2016: New Data Analyses and Uses Sponsoring Committee Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee of the Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee, ABJ30(1) Call Description The Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee of the Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee, ABJ30(1) invites you to submit posters for a session focusing on uses of the new CTPP 2012-2016 data. In keeping with the theme of our parent committee, topics focusing on transportation planning and urban data are requested. Posters will be displayed at the TRB Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, January 2020. Authors of the most innovative posters may be invited to present at the subcommittee meeting or have their work displayed on the ABJ30 website. Background New CTPP data was released in March 2019 for the years 2012 to 2016. The Subcommittee is interested in learning how users of the new data are utilizing the data for analysis and visualization. In the past, CTPP data has been used as inputs into travel demand models, for corridor level analysis, and for environmental justice analysis to name just a few uses. Have you noticed an increase in data quality in the latest CTPP package since the Census Bureau increased the ACS sample in 2012? Have the geocoding results affected your ability to do your analysis? While you may still be peeling back the layers of the onion that is CTPP data, what have you found so far? The Subcommittee is interested in learning about what you have discovered in your work with this package. The end product can be a map, graphic, or analytic finding aimed at conveying information to other people or within your organization. This is also an opportunity to share the challenges and lessons learned from digging into a large complex dataset and distilling it into a useful analytic product. Evaluation Criteria Posters must incorporate data from the 2012-2016 CTPP. Additional data sets may be used and include but are not limited to other Census data sets and non-Census data sets. Examples include older CTPP packages, the American Community Survey, NHTS, LEHD, and Decennial Census data and Economic Census data. A broad range of abstracts relating to the topic are welcome. Preference will be given to posters which emphasize the following: * Analysis to solve complex problems * Creative ways to visualize CTPP data * New approaches to analyzing CTPP data * Posters that use demographic data to improve transportation planning * Topics that address applications towards urban areas A session-development panel will review all abstracts to identify those that most effectively demonstrate innovative analysis of CTPP data. The subcommittee hopes to identify posters representing a diverse array of uses and applications. Applicants will be notified in October of their selection. Poster Session Guidelines Those selected for this session will prepare a poster for presentation at the 2020 Annual Meeting in January. Participants are not required to prepare a paper. Each presenter will be provided with a table and a 4' x 8' vertical panel for displaying posters and other materials. An electrical connection will be available at each station. Telephone and internet connections will not be available. TRB's guidelines for poster presenters are not yet available, but it is expected that all guidelines once available should be followed. Presenters are expected to register for the TRB meeting and participate in this session. Presentation teams are welcome. Submission Instructions A special deadline for submittals has been established. Interested candidates should submit an abstract explaining their project and poster concept by 11:59 pm EDT on Thursday, September 5, 2019. The abstract should be no more than a single one-sided page in length (approximately 500 words) and include: * Contact information (name, agency/organization, phone number, email address) * Title of your proposed poster for use in the Annual Meeting agenda * Data sources that your poster will focus on * Explanation of the project, research, or process sets * Any innovative discoveries or lessons learned about the 2012-2016 CTPP data that would be useful to the transportation community * Preliminary description of the information to be conveyed in your poster You are welcome to include links to on-line materials that illustrate the analysis or results described in your abstract but this will not substitute for the information requested in the abstract. The subcommittee will not consider sales presentations for products or services. Abstracts should be in a PDF format and submitted to: Clara Reschovsky Clara.reschovsky(a)dot.gov Include the term "ABJ30(1) Poster Abstract 2020" in the subject line. For More Information Questions about the poster session or the abstract submittal process should be directed to: Clara Reschovsky clara.reschovsky(a)dot.gov 202-366-2857 Kathy Yu kyu(a)nctcog.org 817-608-2343

[CTPP] Fwd: Sign our open letter to Census Bureau leadership about ACS data

by Ed Christopher

There may be some who are interested in this. I apologize if it has already crossed your desk. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Sign our open letter to Census Bureau leadership about ACS data Date: Thu, 2 May 2019 16:05:03 +0000 From: Steven Ruggles <ipums(a)umn.edu> Reply-To: Steven Ruggles <ipums(a)umn.edu> To: edc(a)berwyned.com IPUMS Census and Survey Data *IPUMS Census and Survey Data * Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser <https://ipums.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…>. Dear IPUMS User, I know many of you have been following developments in Census 2020 and the proposed citizenship questions. Several sessions at the Population Association of America (PAA) covered many aspects of Census 2020 planning and were well-attended with lively discussions. I’m writing to you today about plans for the American Community Survey (ACS). Please join me in asking the Census Bureau to clarify their plans for ACS disclosure avoidance control and dissemination. We want to protect the usability of the important public use data that we all use in our work. *Here's the short version: please sign our open letter <https://ipums.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…> to the Census Bureau asking for transparency in changes to the ACS*. For the long version, please keep reading and visit our webpage on this topic <https://ipums.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…>. The Census Bureau is planning an extensive revision of procedures for ensuring the confidentiality of public use data, based on a method known as "differential privacy." The new disclosure avoidance system will rely on injecting noise into the data, and the new procedures may reduce or even eliminate the usability of public use data for many common research and policy applications. For more information, see our recent working paper <https://ipums.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…> and forthcoming article <https://ipums.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…>. The American Community Survey (ACS) is the single most important statistical source in the social sciences. They generate 9,000 articles a year, and a new paper appears about every hour. If these data become unusable, unreliable or available only through restricted-access environments because of the new confidentiality measures, that would have profound consequences across many areas of demographic, economic, and policy research. Acknowledging the importance of the ACS data, we are seeking clarification and engagement with the research community from the Census Bureau. Our open letter <https://ipums.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…> requests: 1. A public timeline for changes to the ACS summary files and microdata. 2. Engagement with the research community in advance of any changes. 3. Public versions of new noise-infused ACS summary files and microdata for 2005-2017 so that researchers can assess their usefulness by replicating existing studies. If you support these requests, please sign our letter <https://ipums.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=775cbf39c77535e784cdfd6f9&i…>.

Re: [CTPP] 2012 - 2016 Transportation Profiles available Now

by Cook

While the State and County profiles are all there, the Place profiles disappear somewhere in Maryland. Also all places in the “New” and “North” states are just labeled as just New or North. No New Mexico or North Dakota.

[CTPP] 2012 - 2016 Transportation Profiles available Now - Update

by Krishnan Viswanathan

Hello All A few of you indicated that the place files are not available for some states. The problem starts half way through Maryland. Looks like there was some issue with the FHWA servers which is not causing it to not have uploaded all the files. The FHWA staff person in charge of the website is out on vacation so it will be sometime before the links are fixed and the state names are rendered completely. In the meantime, as a stopgap you can download the place files from here: https://camsys.egnyte.com/dl/xafRBD4leK/transportation_profiles_places_xlsx… This has Excel files for all the places.
