FW: Call for Presentations - Webinar: Use of Multiple Census Data Sets for Transportation Planning

by Bricka, Stacey

Apologies for cross-postings - please see below for a call for presentations for an upcoming webinar on the use of multiple census data sets for transportation planning. This webinar is co-sponsored by the CTPP Program and ABJ30's Subcommittee on Census Data. Please contact Jim Hubbell directly (cc'd here) if any questions. Happy Monday- Stacey Stacey G. Bricka, Ph.D. Texas A&M Transportation Institute 512.407.1123 From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Jim Hubbell Sent: Monday, June 15, 2015 10:23 AM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: [CTPP] Call for Presentations - Webinar: Use of Multiple Census Data Sets for Transportation Planning Data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau is used to develop various products that support transportation planning. Examples include the American Community Survey (ACS), Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP), Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD), and Economic Census County Business Patterns. In order to address increasingly complex planning issues such as equity, multi-modal mobility, economic development and livability, transportation planners often incorporate data from multiple sources for their analyses. The CTPP Program and TRB Census Subcommittee will jointly sponsor a webinar on Thursday, August 13, 2015 from 2:30-4:30 pm ET on the use of multiple census data sets for transportation planning. The goals of the webinar are to: * Identify and highlight innovative uses of Census data sets * Demonstrate how different Census data sets can be used in conjunction with one another for analysis * Improve understanding of advanced Census data applications * Share challenges and lessons learned with the Census data user community To submit a presentation for consideration, please send an abstract/summary of 500 words or less to Jim Hubbell (jhubbell(a)marc.org<mailto:jhubbell@marc.org>) by 5:00 PM ET on Friday, July 3, 2015. Presentations should be around 15-20 minutes in duration.

FW: Short web survey on Adaptation Planning

by Bricka, Stacey

The Vermont Transportation Research Center is conducting the 5-10 minute survey of planners at state and local agencies about climate change adaptation in the transportation sector. We are interested in responses from those agencies that are not very active in adaptation planning as well as those state and local agencies that are. This important and timely survey is one component of Vermont's partnership with the new national US DOT UTC at University of California Davis. To participate, professionals at state or local planning agencies can visit the website: https://rsgresearch.com/climateplanning The survey will assess: 1. how agencies are planning for extreme weather threats; 2. which climate trends are potential threats to the transportation system in different regions; and 3. what challenges limit agency efforts. Many thanks for your consideration, Lisa Lisa Aultman-Hall, Ph.D. Professor School of Engineering Transportation Research Center University of Vermont Burlington, VT 05405 802 656 1245

Call for Papers on Bicycle and Pedestrian Data for TRB 2016

by Bricka, Stacey

[cid:image001.png@01D0A077.EDD165A0]<https://sites.google.com/site/bikepeddata/> Bicycle and Pedestrian Data Subcommittee<https://sites.google.com/site/bikepeddata/> Call for Papers on Bicycle and Pedestrian Data for TRB 2016 The TRB Bicycle and Pedestrian Data Subcommittee (ABJ35(3)) seeks research papers for presentation and/or possible publication on aspects of bicycle and pedestrian data. Advances in data gathering technology have presented the opportunity to automatically collect data on non-motorized modes of travel. This presents data management opportunities and challenges. Although data collection programs for motorized travel have been operating for the last few decades, do they provide an adequate framework that is transferable to the field of non-motorized modes? What circumstances, such as the effect of weather, influence non-motorized travel and make it unique from the motorized side of travel? How can lessons learned from collecting and managing motorized data programs be leveraged in developing national, regional and local non-motorized data programs? Similar to the call from last year, the aim of this call for papers is to expand and improve the field of bicycle and pedestrian data. Topics for papers include, but are not limited to: Program Design * Considerations in developing a non-motorized counting program * Project Development (implementing policies that require installing new sites during construction, creating data program site selection criteria, implementing policies that ensure NMT [non motorized travel] data collection, etc.) * Augmenting data with information from partner entities * Sampling Strategies for permanent and short-duration monitoring locations * Organizational expansion of existing programs to include non-motorized data * Non-motorized Data Analysis and Planning Activities * Comprehensive NMT data program evaluations * Designing performance measures that drive decision making processes * The integration of Transportation and Environmental considerations is NMT program design Technology * Alternative sensing technologies for bicycles and pedestrians * Evaluation and experience with automatic counting equipment technologies * Continuous, Real-Time Data * Origin-Destination and Travel Time Technologies * Site selection and methods for establishing continuous versus short duration count data collection locations * Mobile devices used for data collection and associated applications Data Handling - Adjusting, QA/QC Data processes * Data Handling Methodologies * Accounting for Variations (Equipment Validation, Temporal, Seasonal , Weather, etc) * Data Publication * Automation, Calculation, Quality Control and Management of Statistics for non-motorized data Characteristics of the Non-Motorized Traveler * Bicycle rider characteristics: Gender; age; income; helmet use; etc. * Trip purpose * Crowd sourced data (gathering trip data from mobile apps). Program experience, architecture. * Using trip making behavior data in the planning process * Strategies for communicating data to decision makers, clients and the public Papers for publication and/or presentation must be submitted before August 1, 2015. Submission of complete papers, conforming to TRB standards and format, is required for consideration. Papers may be submitted for presentation only. Each paper will be peer-reviewed according to TRB procedures. TRB paper specifications are found online (http://www.trb.org/GetInvolvedwithTRB/Public/GetInvolvedSubmitPaper.aspx). At the bottom of the TRB paper submission form, please indicate your paper is intended for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Data Subcommittee (#ABJ35(3)). Be sure to include this Subcommittee name and number with the paper submission.
