Maybe David Pearson will relate the Texas experience - seems like they did a survey in the past 5 years based on license capture and, at some point, was talking with the ACLU. My opinion is that perception is everything - if the public thinks you are trying to be sneaky (even though you may not be), they will call you on it and you will get bad press/public opposition. If you coordinate with the local media and other agencies in advance, tell them why you need the data, tell them how you plan to protect privacy, it seems like you might get a better reception by the public. -----Original Message----- From: a1d08-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:a1d08-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Todd Ashby Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 1:27 PM To: Ed Christopher; Elaine Murakami; Jonette Kreideweis; ABJ30 Members List Subject: RE: [ABJ30] external travel surveys We are in discussions about doing an external survey here in KC and have had the same concerns brought up.

Re: [ABJ30] Midyear Meeting Agenda

by Ed Christopher

Emily-et al. I put the dial in information on the document as a footer and apparently in some versions of word (including mine) it only shows up when you print it, do a print preview or view just the headers and footers. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

Update on next NPTS - June 05

by Srinivasan, Nanda

All - (Sorry for the cross posting across listserves, and data committees) There has been substantial interest in and discussion about the next NPTS on several listserves. Many of you want to know more about being an Add-On jurisdiction in the next survey, including costs, timing, and any additional flexibility in the Add-on program. We are seeking input on both the potential costs and other elements of the next survey. Survey Costs FHWA has let a "Request for Information" (RFI) on the potential costs of the next NPTS. Although content and approach for the next NPTS have not been finalized, more information is needed on potential survey costs, especially for states and MPOs who are seriously considering the Add-on program. The approach taken in the Request for Information is to use the content and methods of the 2001 NHTS as a strawman survey, and to obtain separate costs for the GPS subsample, the nonresponse followup survey, and collecting and geocoding trip origins and destinations. The Request for Information, posted at: http://www2.eps.gov/spg/DOT/FHWA/OAM/Reference%2DNumber%2DDTFH61%2D05%2DRFI… If the link does not work, try: http://www2.eps.gov/spg/DOT/FHWA/postdatePrevDays_1.html, Click on "Request for Information for Costs of Conducting the NPTS 01" under June 24, 2005. The RFI will remain open for 30 days (until July 24, 2005). Survey Design Elements We encourage all who have questions, comments and suggestions for the next survey to submit their input. We need to know more about: o current data users and their experiences with the survey series, o non-users and the reasons they don't use the data series o modelers needs and the changes in travel demand modeling o data needs on specialized topics in personal travel, such as walk & bike, elderly mobility issues, etc. There is a discussion forum called the Community of Practice where you can post questions, suggestions etc. The URL is http://knowledge.fhwa.dot.gov/cops/hcx.nsf/home?openform&Group=Household%20… If the link does not work, please try: http://knowledge.fhwa.dot.gov/cops/hcx.nsf/home Scroll to the bottom, and click on "Household Travel Data Program" Thank you Nanda Srinivasan (On behalf of Susan Liss, FHWA)

[Fwd: RTAMS Public Access and more]

by Ed Christopher

This online data base by our local transit oversight agency has finally went public. for this region this is a big deal. it does require registration. Kuo-Ann: you might want to look at this from the meta data perspective. http://www.rtams.org/ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RTAMS Public Access and more Date: Fri, 24 Jun 05 09:44:24 -0600 From: webmaster(a)rtams.org To: <edc(a)berwyned.com> Dear Ed Christopher: Major improvements have been made to the Regional Transportation Asset Management System (RTAMS), www.rtams.org, and the website is now available to the general public. As part of public access, you now must use your EMAIL ADDRESS and password to login to the site. The old usernames are no longer valid, but your password remains unchanged. Improvements to the RTAMS website include: PUBLIC ACCESS RTAMS is now compatible with Netscape and other browsers. Now that RTAMS is open to all users, please help spread the word on this resource by telling others about the website. NEW INTERACTIVE MAP The interactive map has been completely redesigned. It now appears in a separate window with navigation tools on the top and information controls on the right. Turn map data layers off and on under the Layers tab. Zoom to a transportation asset or jurisdiction under the Find tab. The new map lets you use RTAMS in a two-window mode, switching between reports in the main window and the interactive map. USABILITY ENHANCEMENTS The RTA Capital Program reports have been simplified to make them easier to understand. The content area overview pages under each menu heading have been improved to provide a quick summary of what is available in each area. Convenience links at the bottom of each page allow you to change your password, view the sitemap, report a problem, or suggest future improvements. To access the RTAMS, go to http://www.rtams.org.

Urban Data Committee Members and Friends

by Ed Christopher

Our Mid summer meeting is Monday, July 11 in Boston coupled with the Commodity Flow Survey Conference and the TRB 2005 Summer Conference. I haven't counted all the committees that will be midyearing it but is a huge number. Information on the conference can be found at http://www.trb.org/conferences/programs/default.asp?event=208 For our meeting, attached is the agenda that I have been working on. As you can see we only have only two hours. If there is something I missed or that you want to bring up I tired to leave at least 15 minutes at the end for what I called "loose ends" Our meeting notes from January along with links to the handouts are now posted online at http://trb.mtc.ca.gov/urban/trb2005/01102005Minutes.html -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 19900 Governors Dr Olympia Fields, IL 60461

We would be happy to get suggested research tasks from your committees. The format is discussed in the attached as are the deadlines. The Panel will meet in early August to program the $600,000 for this coming year.
