[CTPP] TRB Task Force on New Directions for the National Household Travel Survey

by Bricka

**Apologies for cross-postings!** In Fall 2011, TRB formed the Task Force on New Directions for the National Household Travel Survey (ABJ45T). The main focus of the task force is to reach out to the transportation community re: the use of NHTS and potential impacts of the redesign of the survey and to serve as a bridge between USDOT and the NHTS data user community. Task force members represent users from a variety of perspectives (see http://goo.gl/Ll3dC for a list of members). If you are interested in participating in an in-person NHTS user discussion, we invite you to join us at one of our upcoming user forums: *Innovations in Travel Modeling, Monday April 30 from 8 to 10:15 am (See "NHTS Data User's Forum" on the conference program) *NATMEC, Wednesday June 6 from 10:30 to noon in the Continental Room. *Tools of the Trade, Wednesday Sept 12 (as part of the Wednesday morning data workshop) You can also subscribe to the NHTS-USER list serve, following the instructions at the bottom of this email. The list serve is intended for periodic discussions of issues relevant to the NHTS design and will serve as the "friend's list" for the task force. Technical questions should continue to be directed to the FHWA Community of Practice. We promise not to spam you, but will provide quarterly updates on NHTS program activities, such as this most recent update: March 2012, FHWA UPDATE: In February, the final 2009 Trip Chain file was posted on the website. Also posted was the NHTS Visualization Tool containing the Data Extraction Tool (DET), Choropleth Mapping with pie bubble charts and the Dashboard Design providing synchronized display of maps, table and charts on selected travel trend data statistics and geography. In early March, the 2010 Status of the Nation's Highways, Bridges and Transit: Conditions and Performance Report to Congress was released. The report furnishes Congress with an objective appraisal of the physical conditions, operational performance and financial status of the transportation surface system. The NHTS program was responsible for Chapter 1. Finally, the NHTS co-hosted a webinar that featured the Long Distance Exploratory Research proposed design. If you are a user of NHTS (past, present, or future), please feel free to join in the discussion!

[CTPP] Webinar on SmartPhones and Travel Behavior: April 19

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Just in case you are not on the TMIP listserv, I thought you might be interested in a webinar that Guy Rousseau from ARC, and I have organized. -----Original Message----- From: Main discussion list for the Travel Model Improvement Program. [mailto:TMIP-L(a)LISTSERV.TMIPONLINE.ORG] On Behalf Of TMIP_Moderator Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 6:17 AM To: TMIP-L(a)LISTSERV.TMIPONLINE.ORG Subject: [TMIP-L] Webinar on SmartPhones and Travel Behavior Dear TMIP-L Subscribers: This is an announcement for the upcoming "Webinar On SmartPhones And Travel Behavior" which will be held on April 19th from 2:30-4:30pm EST The webinar will consist of THREE 30-minute presentations with a 30-minute discussion period following the conclusion of the presentations. The session will be moderated by: Guy Rousseau, Atlanta Regional Commission, and Chair of ABJ40 Travel Survey Methods Elaine Murakami, FHWA Office of Planning, Co-Chair of the ABJ40 New Technology Subcommittee ---DESCRIPTION--- The rapid assimilation of smartphones with built-in GPS and accelerometers has presented an opportunity for major changes in conducting travel surveys. GPS or combinations with other location-based technologies such as Wi-Fi, cell tower triangulation, and Bluetooth offer opportunities to experiment with approaches to collect travel and activity behavior over longer periods of time, to combine these data with attitudinal or stated preference surveys, and to use measured behavior as a feedback mechanism for influencing behavior. Some recent approaches have included passive data collection combined with prompted web-response, with inferred travel mode and trip purpose. Another approach has been to design an active data collection where respondents enter information for each trip or based on a “random moments” approach. ---PRESENTERS--- 1. Sandra Rodriguez, PTV NuStats. Smartphone app for the Oregon Travel And Activity Survey (OTAS) 2. Joan Walker, UC Berkeley. The Quantified Traveler. Using personal travel data to promote sustainable transport behavior. 3. Cy Smith, CEO and Founder, AirSage. Location Intelligence from Cellular Signaling Data Powering Transportation Planning ---MEETING INFORMATION--- Participants do not need to preregister to attend the webinar. Attendance is limited to 100 connections and is first-come, first-served. You can log on to the webinar at: http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/tmipvirtualseminars/ Conference Number: 1-888-675-2535 Participant Code: 8344566 The audio portion of the webinar will be broadcast by Voice Over IP.

Re: [CTPP] Availability of TAZ Level Income and Vehicles per Household

by Weinberger

If you mean CTPP data at the TAZ level, the Census Bureau says we will have a special CTPP tabulation of 2006 - 2010 data (for all geographies) by June 2013. If you are looking for the current 5-year data at residence, you may try AFF2. Penelope Weinberger CTPP Program Manager AASHTO 202-624-3556 http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/default.aspx <http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/default.aspx> It's just as bad to not make a plan as to blindly follow the one you already have.

[CTPP] FHWA - FAUB/UAB etc.

by Kevin Shipman

I've tried to answer this question myself looking through listserv messages and various web pages. I'm trying to understand the process for FHWA's adjusted urban area (FAUB/UAB). I looked through what Ed sent on Feb 10th - FHWA updated page w/ guidance: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/urbanized_areas_and_mpo_t ma/ This page has a ton of useful info but I didn't see anything on adjusted Urban Boundaries (FAUB/UAB/other). Does anyone know about this process, who is involved (State DOT, Cities, MPOs), and what the possible timelines are? I thought there was a move in FFC away from designating Urban vs. Rural Functional Class, perhaps things have changed and FHWA is no longer using adjusted boundaries this time around? Any help is greatly appreciated! Kevin Kevin Shipman GIS Analyst Spokane Regional Transportation Council 221 W First Ave, Suite 310 Spokane, WA 99201 509/343-6385
