Apologies for cross posting. Just a quick reminder of our special call for posters for the 2014 TRB Annual Meeting. Poster abstracts are due by Wednesday, Sept 4.**** ** ** Note: Stacey Bricka is sending a confirmation email upon receipt. If you submitted an abstract and did not get a confirmation email from her, please let her know. Also, if you submitted through the TRB system as part of the annual paper process, please let her know your paper number so we can track its progress through the system.**** ** ** Thanks and let me know if any other questions!**** Krishnan**** ** ** *From:* Bricka, Stacey *Sent:* Thursday, July 18, 2013 8:17 AM *To:* 'NHTS-USER(a)LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU' *Subject:* TRB Call for NHTS Posters**** ** ** *CALL FOR POSTERS* * * *Travel Characteristics Past, Present, and Future –* *Communicating Information Derived from the National Household Travel Survey * ** ** *Sponsor* Task Force on *Understanding New Directions for the National Household Travel Survey* (ABJ45T)**** ** ** *Call Description***** The Task Force will host a poster session at the 2014 Annual Meeting featuring tools and strategies used to communicate National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) data to various user groups. Of particular interest to the Task Force are innovative means of communicating information derived from the NHTS that convey the utility and value of these data. Featured posters will be highlighted in Task Force findings to FHWA as effective examples of conveying the value derived from this long-running and comprehensive data set. A special submittal deadline for this call has been established. Abstracts are due no later than Wednesday, September 4th. Following are details on this call and the associated submission process. ** ** ** ** *Background* Since 1969, the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) has surveyed Americans on their travel behaviors and patterns, generating an unparalleled compilation of longitudinal travel characteristics for the nation. The legacy of this national data collection and dissemination effort has resulted in a wide variety of applications for a diverse array of users. NHTS users mine this data to inform decision makers, educate the public, support research, and enhance model development. It serves as a unique platform for analyzing past, present, and future travel trends and provides essential input for many different processes.**** ** ** The Task Force on *Understanding New Directions for the National Household Travel Survey *(ABJ45T) is charged with understanding ways in which the data are used and can be improved, and evaluating impacts of potential changes in survey methodology on different user groups. During its investigations the Task Force realized the challenge of communicating the value of NHTS data and ways in which it can be successfully used to support a myriad of uses including transportation planning and analysis, demographic research, public and policy maker education, trend analysis, and public health policy, to name but a few.**** ** ** The Task Force decided to identify and showcase at the 2014 Annual Meeting a select few examples that demonstrate creative ways of communicating the value of this important data set. Recognizing the role of visual media in today’s communications, the Task Force is soliciting posters or other graphic means of visualization and communication that convey the utility and value of the NHTS and the data it yields. In keeping with the theme of the 2014 meeting – Celebrating Our Legacy, Anticipating Our Future – the Task Force is interested in illustrating the diversity of uses and applications supported by the NHTS and the longitudinal value of this long-running survey in developing this poster session.**** ** ** *Poster Session Guidelines* Those selected for this session will prepare a poster for presentation at the 2014 Annual Meeting in January. *Participants are not required to prepare a paper to be eligible*. Each presenter will be provided with a table and a 4’ x 8’ vertical panel for displaying posters and other materials. An electrical connection will be available at each station. Telephone and internet connections will not be available. TRB's guidelines for poster presenters are available at http://www.trb.org /Guidelines/PosterPresenters.pdf . Presenters are expected to attend and participate in this session. Presentation teams are welcome. The Task Force is working to create an innovative poster / discussion format, details of which will be finalized during the session planning process. It is anticipated that this will be a dynamic and highly interactive session.**** ** ** *Submission Instructions* A special deadline for abstract submittals has been established. Interested candidates should submit an abstract explaining their project and poster concept by 11:59 pm PDT on*Wednesday, September 4, 2013*. The abstract should be no more than a single one-sided page in length (approximately 500 words) and include:**** ** ** **· **Contact information (name, agency/organization, phone number, email address)**** **· **Title of your proposed poster for use in the Annual Meeting agenda**** **· **Explanation of the project, research or process using NHTS data and how the data were used;**** **· **Ways in which visualization or other graphic communication tools were deployed and the role this played in the project, research or process;* *** **· **Any innovative discoveries or lessons learned about communicating NHTS data that can be useful to FHWA and other users; and**** **· **Preliminary description of the information to be conveyed in your poster.**** ** ** You are welcome to include links to on-line materials that illustrate visualization or graphic communication concepts described in your abstract but this will not substitute for the information requested in the abstract.* *** ** ** The Task Force will not consider sales presentations on products or services.**** ** ** Abstracts should be in a PDF format and submitted to:**** ** ** Stacey Bricka**** s-bricka(a)tamu.edu**** ** ** Include the term “*NHTS Poster Abstract*” in the subject line.**** ** ** *Selection Process***** A session-development subcommittee will review all abstracts to identify those that most effectively demonstrate innovative communication techniques conveying the value of NHTS data and its use.

Re: [CTPP] Population Density

by Ed Christopher

Thanks to all for help. Besides the locations mentioned I also found something call "state and county" quick facts that also allow you to get the quick facts for places. It is handy if you are only after a few places. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/index.html On 7/26/2013 6:45 PM, Gemignani, Nancy wrote: > Ed, yes, they do calculate density.

[CTPP] Population Density

by Ed Christopher

Someone asked me today to help them find the population density for a variety of places in the US. I naturally jumped on FactFinder and began working my way through 2010 SF1. After getting lost for about 30 I wondered if the Census calculates population densities any more. I know I should know the answer but.... -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 4749 Lincoln Mall Drive, Suite 600 Matteson, IL 60443
