[CTPP] A Question - work flow vs. HBW trip rate

by Binbin Chen

Hi, I'm new in using CTPP data, and am a little confused about the work flow CTPP provided and work trip. Basically, CTPP counts workers, not trip. Then can it be used to compute HBW trip per household? For example, assume 1.5 trips/worker (NCHRP#365), HBW trip/HH = 1.5*workers/household numbers ? And How can CTPP work flow compare to NHTS HBW trip rate? I highly appreciate your help! Best, Binbin

[CTPP] ACS Reference Materials

by Ed Christopher

The Census Bureau just released the first of a series of "handbooks" aimed at helping data users negotiate their way through ACS data. This first handbook, "What General Data Users Need to Know" will help general audiences understand the basics of the ACS, its opportunities and challenges, and how to access and use the ACS data on the Census Bureau's Web site. The handbook can be found at http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/ACSGeneralHandbook.pdf The handbook itself is part of a much broader suite of e-learning ACS materials that can found at http://www.census.gov/acs/www/UseData/Compass/compass_series.html In addition, NCHRP Report 588 "A Guidebook for Using the American Community Survey Data for Transportation Planning" is a MUST HAVE for the transportation planner. It can be found on-line at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_588.pdf -- Ed Christopher Resource Center Planning Team Federal Highway Administration 19900 Governors Drive Olympia Fields, Illinois 60461 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) 708-283-3501 (F)

Re: [CTPP] Census Bureau Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP)

by Patty Becker

Just to add a bit more information... In addition to tracts and block groups, PSAP includes Census Designated Places and Census County Divisions (the latter used only in about 20 states). MPO-type folks should really be in the middle of this activity, as it is historically organized by metro area with the SDCs working on the non-metro areas. I am what used to be called the "key person" and is now called the "principal contact" for the Detroit area. I've been doing this stuff since before the 1980 census.

[CTPP] Census Bureau Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP)

by Murakami

I got a question about PSAP today and thought it would be worthwhile to post to the CTPP listserv: To be short and sweet, PSAP is largely for TRACT and BLOCK GROUP definition for the 2010 Census. http://www.census.gov/geo/www/psap2010/psap2010_main.html There are probably other geographic areas that are also included. >From glancing through the PSAP materials, it appears that the Census Bureau wants you to contact their regional office: http://www.census.gov/field/www/ However, you may want to contact your State Data Center (SDC) who may already have established lead agencies for different counties in your state. http://www.census.gov/sdc/www/ Elaine
