Enhanced 2009 NHTS data (Version2)

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone - at the risk of redundant postings, I am forwarding notice that the new and improved 2009 NHTS dataset has been released and is available at the ORNL webpage listed below. Last week (Dec 1-2) there was a server crash, which prevented people from accessing the new data, but things are working more smoothly today (I tested it). I highly recommend using the user-friendly on-line table generator for simple analyses. It will automatically use the correct weights. You can start with a "frequently asked for" table, click on the "wrench" symbol, and then modify the table, e.g. to subset for a specific geographic area. For example, by clicking on variable descriptors and values, the software will create code such as HHSTATE EQ "FL" to limit the table to only records in Florida. Have fun! For additional information about the NHTS, please contact Adella Santos, the NHTS Program Manager Adella.santos(a)dot.gov Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning From: National Household Travel Survey [mailto:nhts@email.ornl.gov] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 7:02 AM To: nhts(a)email.ornl.gov Subject: [NHTS] Enhanced 2009 NHTS data (Version2) The Federal Highway Administration is pleased to announce the availability of the enhanced 2009 NHTS data (Version2) for the transportation community and the public. For the last 6 months, the enhancement team has worked with all partners and all involved to deliver this enhanced version of data for both national coverage and add-on localities. The enhancement of the original V1.0 data was centered on methods of processing outliers; and at the same time, FHWA capitalized on the opportunity to use the 2008 ACS for population totals which was not available during the preparation of Version 1.0. The V2.0 data file is now available on the Online Analysis Tool for your use and to download (http://nhts.ornl.gov/ ). In the following weeks FHWA will also append the Nielsen's Claritas neighborhood characteristics data and the fuel consumption (MPG) data from the Energy Information Administration as an added value to V2.0. The Code Book browser and the User Guide will be updated and available by early December.

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Today, I got a query of where to find older CTPP messages, and I thought it might be useful to everyone. Here is the link: http://www.trbcensus.com/maillist.html For those of you who are State DOT and MPOs, don't forget that your updates/corrections to the TAZ delineation contact list are due to Ms. Liang Long liang.long(a)dot.gov by December 10. The lists are posted at on the AASHTO CTPP page: http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/taz.aspx We need to provide the complete list to the Census Bureau Geography Division in a couple of weeks, so your prompt attention to this is most appreciated. Hope to see some of you at TRB in Washington, DC. Also, hope to see you in Reno at the TRB Conference on Transportation Planning Applications. We will have a data workshop on Sunday May 8, 2011. http://www.trb-appcon.org/index.html Registration is not yet open. Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)
