My name is John Meaker and I have been on
this list since the last TRB meeting in
January, but I don't believe I have posted
yet.
I am working on a Master's Thesis and as
part of that I need to conduct a survey
comparing two methods of displaying travel
time.

Dear Colleagues,
Recently reports have indicated that funding for the full launch of the
American Community Survey is uncertain. The Census Bureau director will
terminate the ACS if sufficient funding is not forthcoming in the 2005
budget. So far, the House has recommended $146 million and the Senate
appropriators allocated $64 million. Anything less than $142 million
will result in the ACS being cancelled.
The congressional conference committee to determine 2005 funding will
begin very soon. We asked what we could do to help. Letting key
members know of the value of the ACS to your organization and local
governments can help. Please mail the letters to the appropriate
Representatives and Senators. However, to assure that the staff has the
information during the conference, please fax a copy to David McMillen
at 202-225-2608 and they will be delivered to the appropriate members.
You can write a single letter addressed to both Representatives, and a
second letter addressed to both Senators. However, four copies should
be mailed.
The addresses are:
Rep. Frank R. Wolf
Rep. Jose E. Serrano
Chairman,
Ranking Minority Member
Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice,

Greetings,
As part of our work on the ACS, FHWA (Ed Christopher) has asked me, to
provide an overview of work conducted using ACS data. I will present the
results at the TRB Annual Meeting in Washington (Tuesday, January 11, 2005,
3:45-5:30, near the end of the session). Please forward anything that
might be appropriate or contact me either by e-mail or by phone
(312-996-2666).
I would also appreciate if you could forward this e-mail to anyone who is
not part of the CTPP listserve but may have used ACS data.
I thank you in advance in disseminating and/or responding to this request.

Kevin,
You can print a map using the software, but you have to create a map layout first.
To create a map layout:
1. On the mapping component screen, Click on File - Map Layout.
2. Change your page size to anything you want. Enter a title for the map, and check the box that says:
"Fit the map to the current page size."
3. Click on Finish.
To print the Map click on File - Print - Map layout. Route the map to a printer.
Thanks
Nanda

Is there a "easy" way to print out the TAZ map in the CTPP software? I've

Joe: In New Jersey, we have looked at a limited set of data for Jersey City, Newark, a few other areas, and NJ trips to Manhattan. One thing you may have to do is make sure you have corrected for the census coding as "0" any tract to tract movements where there are only 2 or less long form surveys returned. We found that in downtown Jersey City, if we did not do this, we lost almost 60% of the number of trips using tract to tract, especially reverse Trans-Hudson trips. There are procedures, including dividing two tables dealing with total travel time by mode that will get you the correct (at least from the census) number of JTW trips. In looking at NJ, most counties seemed to be low by about 10% compared to the census, which I understand is the normal correction that should be applied to census data since it only includes the primary or first job, and does not correct for persons not reporting to work that day. You also have a lot of business trips to areas of Manhattan for most of a week, so you will find a lot of workers coming from states outside the immediate 4 state area that commutes to Manhattan. Call me at 973-491-7751 or E-Mail me and we can give you further details. Do you have access to Part 3 tables for suburban NY to Manhattan JTW trips?

Subject: [CTPP] CTPP Part 2 data for New York City
The note below is from Joe Salvo, who is a very active member of the Census Bureau State Data Center (SDC) network, but not a CTPP listserv member:
We have taken a close look at the counts of total workers from the 1990 and 2000 CTPP Part 2 at the Census Tract level. There seems to be an unusual amount of volatility, with double-digit percent increases and declines. (And, it is not a function of small bases, as many of the tracts showing large increases/declines have several thousand workers.)
We have mapped the changes and, with the exception of two or three areas, these "ups and downs" seem almost randomly distributed.
Has anyone else compared 1990 and 2000 CTPP data for small areas?

I don't think PUMS will work for me, given the lack of spatial detail.
I'm looking for evidence whether a lack of jobs/housing balance in
suburban areas hurts suburban employers. If it demonstrably does, then
this helps build the case for needing a mix of housing throughout the
region.
My hypothesis is that labor supply on the low-paying end is more
constrained in suburban areas that do not provide a mix of housing. If
there is a real labor supply constraint, this should show up as having
to pay a higher than average wage to low-paying occupations compared to
areas where jobs and housing are more balanced. If, on the other hand,
despite how it looks on a map, suburban employers actually have little
trouble attracting low-wage workers, regardless of how far they have to
travel (our low levels of congestion in the Kansas City area make this a
possibility), then there should be little or no wage differential.
My plan was to look at low-wage occupations and see whether retail
centers or corridors in more homogeneous suburbs paid higher wages than
retail centers/corridors in either urban areas or suburban areas with a
greater mix of incomes. Given that these retail centers do not cover
areas anywhere near as large as a PUMA, this plan clearly will not work
if the best I can do is use PUMS.
I think I can get away with using the earnings by industry table,
however, so long as I constrain my examination of wage differentials on
the low end of the wage scale to the retail trade industry.
Thanks to everyone who provided such great, informative and helpful
feedback!
Sincerely,
Frank

Subject: RE: [CTPP] Worker Earnings by occupation
This is a situation where I think the best resource would be the Census
PUMS data. You won't get fine geographic detail, but you can group the
occupations and earnings to the classes that make sense for your region.
As you are part of the CB State Data Center, you should be able to get a
free copy of the PUMS DVD from the Census Bureau.

Table P2011, Industry(15) by Worker Earnings in 1999 (12) comes the
closest. Only Tables P2003, P2009, P2015, P2016, and P2023 are by
occupation, and none are by earnings. There are twelve tables by
earnings, but none by occupation.
The TransCAD Table Chooser for CTPP Part 2 is a handy way to look at
tables by subject.
