[CTPP] History of CTPP

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

I was recently asked about 1970 and 1980 journey-to-work data at the tract level, so I thought I would share some historic materials. Bottom line, around 1998 and 1999, we attempted to collect 1980 UTPP files, but were able to find only about 20 files, which are stored at Cambridge Systematics and available via ftp. For more information, please contact ctppsupport(a)camsys.com<mailto:ctppsupport(a)camsys.com> The CTPP program was not nationwide until the 1990 Census long form tabulation. In 2010, Ed Christopher and I wrote a chapter for the Encyclopedia of the U.S. Census about Transportation Uses of Census Data, which include a very brief summary of the CTPP. This book is a reference document, I think, mostly found at libraries. Margo J. Anderson, Constance F. Citro, & Joseph J. Salvo (Eds.). (2012). Encyclopedia of the U.S. census. (2nd ed.). Washington, DC: CQ Press. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781452225272 I have attached a couple of alternate sources: 1. A 2008 ppt from Ed Christopher, as a PDF file. Perhaps we can ask Ed to update his slides with information about the 2006-2010 CTPP, and the AASHTO CTPP Oversight Board. 2. A few scanned pages from the 1994 TRB Conference on "Decennial Census Data for Transportation Planning", written by Phil Fulton, who was at the Census Bureau Journey to Work branch. One interesting sentence to me was about updating GBF/DIME files in the 1980s, the predecessor to the TIGER files. The 1980 UTPP were delivered to transportation agencies on 9-track tapes.

[CTPP] NEXT County-to-County Journey to Work Flow table

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Some of you have asked when the next journey to work tabulation would be available, and I have answered that the AASHTO CTPP program is not planning on another flow tabulation until the 2012-2016 ACS data are accumulated for a 5-year data product. However, the Census Bureau, independently of the CTPP program, will be producing a county-to-county commuting flow file for 2009-2013 5-yr ACS. It will include total flows, AND a short list of travel mode (4 categories....drove alone, carpooled, transit, other). It is expected to available approximately May 2015. Hurrah! We seem to making progress in having the Census Bureau increase relevant transportation tables as part of their standard products, reducing what is needed from a special tabulation which costs money!

[CTPP] Contact information for CTPP Tech Support

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone - The CTPP program has had great continuity in technical support staff for many years, with Nanda Srinivasan (now at the DOE Energy Information Administration), and more recently, Liang Long, now working with "big data" for marketing purposes. We now have a new person, Ms. JJ Zang at Cambridge Systematics. JJ has dual master's degrees from UC Irvine, in Transportation System Engineering, and Urban and Regional Planning. She will have other people at Cambridge Systematics helping her in her initial months with the program. If you need help with the CTPP data access software, or the software for older versions of CTPP, please contact CTPPSupport(a)camsys.com<mailto:CTPPSupport(a)camsys.com>. If you are interested in on-site training, please contact Penelope Weinberger at AASHTO CTPP program: pweinberger(a)aashto.org<mailto:pweinberger(a)aashto.org> Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)

Re: [CTPP] Federal Register notice is available for the ACS Content Review

by Graham

Census ACS Office has done a reasonable job here. My take-away from the presentation I attended a few days ago is: The questionnaire reduction candidates (questions on the way out) are those with no federal use. If you have particular state government uses, metro planning uses, or academic uses for any particular questions, you might want to write a letter during this comment period.

[CTPP] Border to Border Transportation Conference Nov 18-20 in McAllen, TX

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Maria Champine from the Hidalgo County MPO asked me to share this conference invitation with you. The 5th Bi-Annual Border to Border Transportation Conference http://www.hcmpo.org/2014-border-border/ will be held November 18-20, 2014 at the McAllen Convention Center, McAllen, TX. You can register at www.eventbrite.com<http://www.eventbrite.com> (http://www.eventbrite.com/e/5th-bi-annual-border-to-border-transportation-c…). For more information, please contact Maria Champine directly at mchampine(a)hcmpo.org<mailto:mchampine(a)hcmpo.org> or call 956-279-7909. I attended this conference in 2010 to talk about ACS and CTPP data. At the conference, I learned a lot about trucks at border crossings and measuring and reducing delay. Since my work focuses on personal travel, I know very little about freight movements. But, I know that many of you on the CTPP listserv are responsible for data activities related to both personal and goods movement. Elaine
