RE: [CTPP] Draft ACS Proposed Transportation-Related Tables

by Murakami, Elaine

More clarification on when ACS data will be available. Areas with 65,000+ population will have annual data. Areas with 20,000+ population will have data provided annually, using a 3-year accumulation. Therefore, 2005 thru 2007 data will be available starting in 2008. Then, 2006-2008 data will be available in 2009. Areas with less than 20,000+ (small towns, census tracts, block groups) will require 5 years of data accumulation, but the Census Bureau says they will also make these tabulations available annually, with 5-year accumulations. Therefore, the first data available should be 2005-2009, with release in 2010. And then 2006-2010 available in 2011. One of my concerns is that for these small areas, 2005-2009 data will be weighted to the county estimates numbers, and the 2006-2010 will be weighted to 2010 decennial census data. So, there will likely be a discontinuity at this point.

RE: [CTPP] Draft Proposal for Transportation-Related Data Products from ACS for 2004 and Beyond

by Murakami, Elaine

Dear Everyone-- I know that reviewing this spreadsheet might seem tedious, but I encourage you to review it and provide your comments via the listserv, or to me directly. The current status is that the residence-based tabulation have been approved by the DRB for 2004 ACS data. The workplace-based tables are still draft, and have not yet been approved by the DRB. Any comments that we provide now will not likely change the 2004 data tabulation, but could be considered for the 2005 ACS data tabulation. This is IMPORTANT because the 2005 ACS data is the first data from "full implementation." One comment on this set that arose at the TRB Census conference held May 11-13, was to add to the AGE breakout "65 to 74" and then "75 and over". This is because more people are continuing to work after age 65 and we need to start tracking these trends. I noticed that several tables include "earnings" but there are no tables using "household income" as a variable. Do you want something that cross-tabulates a Journey-to-work variable with household income? e.g. Household income * Means of transportation to work, or household income * # of Vehicles.? To get the spreadsheets, please use the CTPP listserve archives at: http://www.chrispy.net/pipermail/ctpp-news/ to find Phil's attachments from his May 9th email.

I did an overview of CTPP 2000 while Elaine covered the National Household Travel Survey and its online table generator. You can view the webcast at http://www.cts.pdx.edu/seminars.htm In addition to our little show there are about 50 other presentations from their Seminar Series posted going back to 2002. -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 19900 Governors Dr Olympia Fields, IL 60461

From the APDU listserv: BOGUS CENSUS SURVEY

Of course, none of us open spam messages, but.... Patty Becker --------------------------- >From TerriAnn Lowenthal: Officials at Census Bureau headquarters have asked me to alert stakeholders to a phony survey making the rounds, that misappropriates the U.S. Census Bureau's name, logo, and home page. The fake survey was discovered by Bureau staff in the Charlotte Regional Office. It contains questions about the Iraq war and offers $5.00 for completing the survey; when recipients click on the link, they are asked for bank account numbers. We wanted you to know about this problem in case you receive any inquiries from your constituencies. Obviously, the Census Bureau will refer this case to appropriate law enforcement authorities. A "cut and paste" copy of the "survey" is below my signature, for your reference. Thanks, Terri Ann Terri Ann Lowenthal Legislative & Policy Consultant 1250 4th St., SW Apt.

Why do we care? Iraq has endured decades of collapsing hopes and accumulating tragedy. It is numbing to consider the waste of so much human and resource potential. Saddam's ambitions conflicted with the region and the international community. True to his name, he too often chose confrontation over cooperation. Ultimately these decisions led to total collapse. In March 2003 the United States along with an international collation struck the final blow on Saddam's tyranny with Operation Iraqi Freedom. Two years later questions about weather or not America should have been involved in Iraq in the first place have echoed through the political and media scene all over the world. Giving answers to these questions the U.S. Census Bureau with help from participating Equal Housing Lender partner banks has decided to contribute in setting up the means to reward participates for taking part in such a survey. Now we can really find out America really thinks. How do I know if my bank is a Equal Housing Lender partner? Usually at the bottom of your bank's web page you will see you will see a small icon like this (Embedded image moved to file: pic31056.gif)with Equal Housing Lender Partner details. If you do not see this on your bank's web page please contact your bank for further assistance. Where do we get the money to credit you? Federal Fair Housing Act UNDER THE FEDERAL FAIR HOUSING ACT, IT IS ILLEGAL, ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION, SEX, HANDICAP, OR FAMILIAL STATUS (HAVING CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18), TO: Deny a loan for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, improving, repairing, or maintaining a dwelling, or deny any loan secured by a dwelling; or Discriminate in fixing the amount, interest rate, duration, application procedures or other terms or conditions of such a loan, or in appraising property. Each year a small percentage of businesses fail to comply with this act, as a result they get severally penalized.
