Currently, instructions are provided in the extension's documentation for using the mapping extension with AFF 1; In the future, the extension will include instructions for AFF II. The extension automates many tasks normally required to use ArcGIS for this purpose. The extension works with versions 9.3 and 10.0 of ArcGIS and is available for downloading free of charge at the following link: http://gesg.gmu.edu/census/ Please feel free to share this information with affiliate organizations, universities, or others in your state who might benefit.

Comparing Bike and Walk Rates for Cities

by Cook, Cliff

I recall seeing somewhere on the web a table from drawn from the 2007-9 American Community Survey that compares the rate at which residents or workers (not sure which) bike or walk to work in larger cities. This is not a Factfinder table; I don't recall the source. Would anyone have a lead or suggestion for us? We are hoping to find a similar table from the 2008-10 ACS. Thanks Cliff Cook ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clifford Cook Planning Information Manager Cambridge Community Development Dept. 344 Broadway Cambridge, MA. 02139 617/349-4656 FAX 617/349-4669 TTY 617/349-4621 email => ccook(a)cambridgema.gov<mailto:ccook@cambridgema.gov> web site => http://www.cambridgema.gov/cdd/

Hi Everyone - The STEP funds require a 50% non-federal match. We do not know how much will be available in FY 2012, but it is worth trying, if you have any ideas and have local funds to support the required match.
