It is my pleasure to invite you to the “Applying Census Data for Transportation: 50 years
of Transportation Planning Data Progress Conference”. The conference is organized by The
Transportation Research Board, and the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP) program
and will take place in Kansas City, MO on November 14-16, 2017.
The conference will focus on the use of census data for transportation applications by
exploring the results of current research, sharing experiences of practitioners who are
using census data, and defining potential strategies for practical improvements in data
use for current and emerging data needs.
