<br>
On Friday June 11, 2010 Federal Highway Administration in coordination with the Census Transportation Planning Products program will host a two hour webinar on the Census Bureau�s plans for defining new Urban Areas. �These areas are important for transportation planning because of requirements for establishing MPOs and revisions to MPO boundaries, TMA designations, and roadway functional classification. �This webinar is a follow on for those who could not attend a similar workshop held at the GIS-T Conference in West Virginia. �In addition to discussing Urban Area boundary development, Census Bureau staff will discuss several other geographic related products and programs. �Every 10 years following the decennial census the Census Bureau redefines Urban Areas. �Urban Areas include both Urbanized Areas and Urban Clusters.<br>

<br>
This webinar will begin promptly at 1:00 PM (Eastern) and run for 2 hours. �It will include presentations along with time for question and answers. �Topics covered will include:<br>
<br>
� � � � A Brief Transportation Perspective on Census Geography, Ed Christopher (FHWA)<br>
<br>
� � � � Discussion of the Proposed Urbanized Area Criteria, Mike Ratcliffe, Census Bureau Geography<br>
<br>
� � � � Review of Census Geographic Area Programs and Products, Mike Ratcliffe, Census Bureau<br>
<br>
