First, let me introduce everyone in the CTPP community to Ms. Liang
Long. Liang has her PhD from the University of Illinois, Chicago, so
she is really Dr. Long, but we will not be formal here! Liang is now
working part-time on CTPP, as contractor to FHWA from Cambridge
Systematics, as was Nanda Srinivasan. Liang will have my OLD phone
number 202-366-6971 at the USDOT building in Washington, D.C. The major
part of this job is to provide technical assistance on CTPP. Her email
address is Liang.Long(a)dot.gov
Since Nandu's departure from the CTPP program last November, I picked up
a bunch of the tech support calls. Some of the recent questions have
been on data from 1960! I found that the CB has scanned a lot of the
printed material. I asked my friends at the Univ of Washington which is
a government repository library to identify the TABLE NUMBERS from the
printed reports to make it easier to find transportation and "journey to
work" items in the scanned materials.
