Re: [CTPP] Question about dissemination of CTPP data

by Srinivasan

FYI - Here are some of the FAQs posted on the page. Who will get the CTPP? The CTPP will be initially distributed by the Census Bureau and USDOT to all S tate Departments of Transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organizations. Su bsequent distribution will be managed by the Bureau of Transportation Statisti cs. Will the Data be Available on CDs or DVDs? The CTPP will be produced and distributed along with the CTPP Access Tool Soft ware on CDs. Eventually there may be a demand to produce a national-level CTPP DVD. Will the CTPP Data be on American Factfinder? No, there are no immediate plans to put CTPP data on American Factfinder. How much will the CTPP cost? The CTPP is a pooled-fund product sponsored by the State Departments of Transp ortation through the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). It is already paid for. Subsequent costs for reproducing C Ds to distribute to data users will be borne by the US Department of Transport ation. >>> edc(a)berwyned.com 11/01/02 09:58AM >>> Deanna and others. On the TRB census subcommittee "new look" web page http://www.TRBcensus.com/ these questions are addressed in the "FAQs about the CTPP".

[CTPP] Question about dissemination of CTPP data

by Deanna Belden

Can anyone tell me how the CTPP data will be disseminated? I see the profiles are on the AASHTO website, but will the data for my state be sent to me on CD, along with the CTPP access tool? I'm the DOT contact for Minnesota, so I know it will be coming to me in some way, but will others outside of the DOT or MPOs be able to access and analyze the data independently, without going through me or an MPO? For example, people at a University who might be interested? Thank you for any information you can provide. Deanna K.

[CTPP] American Community Survey, Emergency Planning, Small Area Commute Data

by Chuck Purvis

TO: CTPP-News This is a snippet from today's ACS alert from the Census Bureau. Of interest to transportation planners is the first bullet item on the appropriateness of using ACS data on small-area commute flows for emergency planning efforts. Something to keep in mind.... Chuck Purvis, MTC ***************************************************************************************************************************** THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY AND EMERGENCY PLANNING How can information from the American Community Survey help emergency response providers? What is the role that current information can play in developing plans for recovery from natural disasters or other catastrophic events, or in assessing the long-term impact of these events on the economy, health, housing, and physical infrastructure, including roads, public buildings, and utilities? Whether it's a chemical spill, earthquake, fire, hurricane, or other event, current information on the affected population is critical for emergency planners involved in emergency response, disaster relief, or long-term recovery. When fully implemented, the American Community Survey will provide federal, state, local, and tribal government officials with up-to-date population and housing information to help them respond to events and determine whether such events are limited in scope or have catastrophic consequences for an area, state, or region. Current information on the numbers and characteristics of the population are essential to develop emergency evacuation plans and identify what kinds of medical assistance and other services are needed. Here are some examples of how the American Community Survey contributes to emergency planning. * The American Community Survey's small-area data on commuting patterns and schooling can provide critical information about the physical location of the population during the day. Knowledge of daytime populations can help planners develop appropriate strategies and procedures to route people through and out of a city in the event of a catastrophic event, identify the best locations for emergency shelters, or assess the need to stockpile vital food and medical supplies. * Information on the languages spoken in an area provides guidance on whether flyers, electronic broadcasts, or other means of disseminating emergency information are needed in languages other than English. * Areas affected by catastrophic events can lose their populations quickly. Measuring the effect of population and job losses requires an ongoing, current source of statistics on households, housing, and characteristics such as the availability of public utilities. As affected areas recover, knowledge of the rate at which the local population rebounds, if and how their characteristics have changed, and the effects of the rebound, can help policy-makers gauge the new needs and resources, as well as any lasting impact of the event on the local economy. Current, accurate information is a first step in planning for and responding to emergencies. The American Community Survey can help. _______________________________________

[CTPP] Reminder-State DOT Detailed Geography and MPO Region Definition Forms

by fabian.sanchez＠census.gov

Note: this message is for staff of State Departments of Transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organizations. Other recipients may disregard and delete this message. Thanks you to the State DOTs and MPOs that have already responded to our previous request. As of 3:00pm on 10/28, we have received 64% of the forms back from the State DOTs and MPOs. However, we still need to get forms from the agencies that have not responded. If you have not returned your geography definition forms to us yet, please fill them out and send them back to us by e-email (clara.reschovsky(a)census.gov) or by fax (301)-457-2481 as soon as possible. We would like to receive a response from every State DOT and every MPO in the Nation. If it is not clear to you what to include in your MPO region, select the counties that most closely approximate the MPO planning area boundary. This definition of MPO region does not restrict your access to small area data for other counties. The CTPP2000 Access Tool (CAT) will allow you to have access to detailed data even for counties that are not contained in your MPO region. Please fill out and return the Geography Definition Form soon as possible. If you have any questions, call Fabian Sanchez, Clara Reschovsky, or Phil Salopek at 301-457-2454 Thanks for your cooperation! Fabian Sanchez US Census Bureau Washington, DC PS. I have not received any forms from the Post Office. I hope no one mailed the forms back. If you mailed the forms using the post office, please resubmit your information by e-mail or fax.
