Hello all,
The Census Transportation Planning Products Program is seeking individuals to serve as
panel members for the upcoming 2022 Commuting in America cycle. Panelists will be asked
to:
* Review proposals and select the brief author(s)
* Provide oversight in the writing process, including review of drafts, documents, and
provision of feedback/guidance
We need 5 panelists for each topic, one of which to serve as the panel lead. If
interested, please contact me (hlupton@camsys.com<mailto:hlupton@camsys.com>) with
which topic you'd like to support.
The brief topics include:
Rural Commute Patterns
Rural commute patterns are important to consider in overall transportation planning and
project development, yet rural commuting trends are under researched. This brief will
consider commute patterns for a variety of rural community sizes with a range of dominant
industry types. Definitions should be provided for what constitutes rural characteristics
and variables should be considered such as modes used with the rationale behind mode
choice, ridership by worker industry, vehicle availability and age, and safety of chosen
travel mode. Comparisons between various areas will be conducted and state-of-practice and
best practice methods will be highlighted. This brief will carefully identify possible
data sources for rural trips, address data availability and quality of such data, and
address the transferability of conclusions across areas with varying characteristics.
Approaches to Examining Equity in Commuting
The commuting systems and infrastructure in the United States are historically not
equitable. There is not equal mobility or accessibility to job centers across the nation,
from the way trips are taken to trips not taken at all. This brief will consider vehicle
availability, worker participation rates, travel time/time arriving, class/type of worker,
and other key variables. This brief will explore the state of equity as it specifically
pertains to commuting. While transit is a crucial component for consideration, all modes
must be evaluated including highway/SOV. An emphasis should be placed on commute specific
infrastructure and considerations such as income, mode, and commute time.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Heath

Heath:
The rural commute patterns study interests me and I think I could make a useful
contribution, if you would have me. We have a fair amount of rural in-commuting to my own
metro area (Little Rock) so my organization would definitely benefit from this study.
Thanks

Hi Heath,
I would be interested in the second topic: Approaches to Examining
Equity in Commuting
As an MPO for St. Louis region (home to Ferguson!) we are very
interested int his topic. In fact, we are planning to use this at the
focus for our upcoming LRP. If selected, I feel like I will gain as well
as give to this topic.
Let me know either way. Thanks

Hello Everyone,
What is the approximate date of when will the ACS 5-year estimate data at the block group
level using the 2020 PUMA geographies become available?
I want to use it to update a 2020 base year regional model with the following data derived
from most recent 5 year estimate:
-household income
-housing type
-number of people in household,
-number of workers in household, and
-number of automobile vehicles in household.
Thanks, Rana
