Call for Panelists: Commuting in America 2022

by Heath Lupton

Hello all, The Census Transportation Planning Products Program is seeking individuals to serve as panel members for the upcoming 2022 Commuting in America cycle. Panelists will be asked to: * Review proposals and select the brief author(s) * Provide oversight in the writing process, including review of drafts, documents, and provision of feedback/guidance We need 5 panelists for each topic, one of which to serve as the panel lead. If interested, please contact me (hlupton(a)camsys.com<mailto:hlupton@camsys.com>) with which topic you'd like to support. The brief topics include: Rural Commute Patterns Rural commute patterns are important to consider in overall transportation planning and project development, yet rural commuting trends are under researched. This brief will consider commute patterns for a variety of rural community sizes with a range of dominant industry types. Definitions should be provided for what constitutes rural characteristics and variables should be considered such as modes used with the rationale behind mode choice, ridership by worker industry, vehicle availability and age, and safety of chosen travel mode. Comparisons between various areas will be conducted and state-of-practice and best practice methods will be highlighted. This brief will carefully identify possible data sources for rural trips, address data availability and quality of such data, and address the transferability of conclusions across areas with varying characteristics. Approaches to Examining Equity in Commuting The commuting systems and infrastructure in the United States are historically not equitable. There is not equal mobility or accessibility to job centers across the nation, from the way trips are taken to trips not taken at all. This brief will consider vehicle availability, worker participation rates, travel time/time arriving, class/type of worker, and other key variables. This brief will explore the state of equity as it specifically pertains to commuting. While transit is a crucial component for consideration, all modes must be evaluated including highway/SOV. An emphasis should be placed on commute specific infrastructure and considerations such as income, mode, and commute time. Let me know if you have any questions.
