I am passing on a question from one of our strategic planners. "Where can I find data on Mode of transportation for work trips by county, travel time to work by county, number of commuters by community/city, and carpool commuter activity by community/city?" If anyone knows where to find this information (state of Utah), please let me know. Thank you!

[CTPP] "Workers at Work" not equal to "employed" or "jobs"

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone - We are in the sign-off process for the next issue of the CTPP Status Report. It will probably be several weeks before it is approved for distribution! Anyway, I happened to be looking at the INDEX of articles http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ctpp/srindex.htm so I thought I would post some links to some "oldies but goodies." "CTPP Workers at Work compared to Other Employment Estimates" http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ctpp/sr0104.htm "Reconciling Total Employment (jobs) and Worker-at-Work" http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ctpp/sr0503.htm Also, we got a question for which the easiest answer was to use CTPP 2000 Part 2 data (despite its age) at the census tract level. The CTPP2000 Part 2 data are available via BTS, both in Transtats and by ordering CDs http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ctpp/2000dataprod.htm HOWEVER, one of the easiest ways to access this data at the tract level is to use the Univ of WI-Milwaukee "drill downs" http://www4.uwm.edu/eti/drilldowns/index.html As the ACS standard tabulations now include some workplace tabulations, I don't know if UWM plans to update with ACS 2005-2009 data when the CB releases the first 5-year ACS product (anticipated in December 2010). More current data using QCEW and other administrative records would be to use the LEHD On The Map data, but would require downloading block level data and accumulating the blocks into tract summaries.

[CTPP] Census "Hard to Count" web-GIS interface

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Today, the Association of Public Data Users http://www.apdu.org/ <http://www.apdu.org/> hosted a webinar on a new (Jan 2010) website: http://www.censushardtocountmaps.org This project was funded by the "Funders Census Initiative." It takes the Census hard-to-count dataset and puts it into an interactive web-based GIS, where you can look at the Hard-to-Count (HTC) scores, and look at the individual components (there are 12 variables used in the HTC score). They used the CB's HTC dataset developed by Antonio Bruce and Greg Robinson. http://www.census.gov/procur/www/2010communications/tract%20level%20pdb% 20with%20census%202000%20data%2001-19-07.pdf The speaker, Steven Romalewski, from CUNY Mapaping Service, said they used ESRI for creating the map layers, and used Flash to display the maps. They use Google Maps as a background layer. The maps are cached tiles to make them faster to display. They hope to add the actual Census 2010 participation rates, and would like to see the addition of the 2010 Census results and update this web-GIS for use in redistricting. They would like people to use this interface to help target Census 2010 participation, and have given many presentations on this application to Complete Count groups and the media. Please take a look at this easy-to-use GIS interface, and please consider joining APDU. They have hosted a series of interesting webinars in the past year and the archived sessions are available only to APDU members. Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning

[CTPP] 2010 Census.....

by Charles Purvis

Hello CTPP-News, no long no chat :) Well, the short form for the 2010 Census came in the US mail on Monday. I mailed it today :) I spend more time choosing my brackets for NCAA basketball than I do in filling out the short form. I think it took me 90 seconds to fill it out (the census, not the NCAA brackets). PLEASE MAIL YOUR 2010 CENSUS FORM!!!!! cheers from sunny NorCal! Chuck Purvis, happy retiree :) my guess is that TAD = transportation analysis district? I'm pretty sure that TAZ is still travel analysis zone (or traffic, or transportation).

[CTPP] CTPP March 11 webinar follow-up

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

I have attached Q&A document using materials from the chat area. The CTPP previously used the decennial Census "long form," but the American Community Survey (ACS) has replaced the "long form" and the 2010 Census is a short-form only census. For people who need basic information about the ACS, I recommend the Census Bureau's COMPASS series. http://www.census.gov/acs/www/UseData/Compass/presentations.html Among the several presentations are an overview and one on data products. Here is a link to a copy of the (2010) ACS questionnaire: http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/ACS-1(info)(2010)%20Stateside%20 English_web.pdf Some of the questions have been modified from the 2005 implementation of the ACS. The questions on disability were changed in 2008. Here is a link to the NCHRP report 588: A Guidebook for Using ACS Data for Transportation Planning, completed by Cambridge Systematics in 2007. http://www.trb.org/Publications/Blurbs/A_Guidebook_for_Using_American_Co mmunity_Survey_Da_156802.aspx The full pdf is 10 mg.

[CTPP] CTPP Webinar : recorded session now available from NHI.

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Dear everyone -- Today's "CTPP Snapshot" webinar is now available: http://fhwa.na3.acrobat.com/p49415023/ This version (stored on FHWA space) will be available for at least 30 days. This is in it's raw form, so you may want to move the player forward about 3 to 5 minutes to get past the music interlude at the start of the session. Liang Long will be compiling a Question and Answer document in the next couple of days, and we will post it to the listserv. Since many of the webinar slots had "4 or more" attendees, we can estimate that we had nearly 300 people participate in today's meeting. Thank you all for coming. We will figure out how to save it and post it on the AASHTO CTPP page http://ctpp.transportation.org <http://ctpp.transportation.org/> for longer term storage. The feedback from today's session was that webinars are a good medium to use (of course, there is self-selection bias in that response!), so the CTPP training subcommittee (chaired by Ed Christopher) will take this into account in their plans.

[CTPP] March 11 CTPP Snapshot webinar is FULL.

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Thank you all for the enthusiastic response to the CTPP webinar scheduled for March 11. We hope that our presentations will be informative. We have scheduled time in the session for Questions and Answers. I tried to get additional spaces (we started with 150 and increased to 200), but I was told that there was no more room available. The webinar will be recorded, and all the materials available. We plan to post them at the AASHTO CTPP webpage. http://ctpp.transportation.org Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 p.s. We are not planning to discuss Census 2010, but the Census forms will be in the mail soon! http://2010.census.gov/2010census/
