We are trying to find a crosstab showing number of vehicle available
by units in structure (i.e. single-family unit and multi-family
units..etc.). We prefer the data in TAZ, if not census tract will be
fine. We find the table S2504 in 2005-2009 ACS listing these subjects,
units in structure and vehicles available separately, but not cross
tabulated. Any suggestion would be appreciated? The level of detail in
PUMA just didn't work for our Travel Demand Model input.
Thanks.

The Census Bureau just updated their PUMA webpage with LOTS of
information, including a link to the State Data Centers. The current
plan is that the SDCs will get the PUMA software from the CB (via ftp
download) in September, and will have until "early January" to return
the files to the Census Bureau Geography Division. The SDCs are
encouraged to work with local agencies. They are not required to do so.
We hope that State DOTs and MPOs will take the initiative to talk to
their SDCs to work on PUMA delineation.
As you know PUMAs are now a tabulation geography, particularly important
for ACS tabulation.
The software is a new module of the MTPS software, so for those of you
who just completed TAZ delineation, you will already be familiar with
it.
By the way, the Census Bureau has received all the files from TAZ
participants, and Caliper is completing TAD delineation for some of the
areas that delineated TAZs but NOT TADS. TADs will be a nationwide
(complete) coverage at the 20,000 population level (with a very very few
exceptions). At this point in time, TADs are a "custom geography" for
the CTPP program, and not used for standard ACS products.

Since some of you have asked me individually, here is a post to
"everyone":
Mike Ratcliffe from the Census Bureau recently told us:
"The CB's Statistical Areas Committee met in June and approved our final
criteria. The Federal Register notice has been working its way through
all the required reviews at the agency and department level. We are
anticipating publication in September.
Meanwhile, urban area delineation based on these criteria is underway.
We are on track for an announcement of urbanized areas and urban
clusters in early 2012."

Hi, Kaine
As other people noted, you can use NHTS 2008 for your purpose. There is
a variable called "TRPMILES", which is travel distance in miles. Good
luck!

Everyone-
I am interested to find out if anyone has any valid information in regards
to the average amount of miles traveled one way by commuters in the U.S. ?
I remember reading somewhere the average American drives something like 26
minutes(or thereabouts) one way to work each day but in this case I am
specifically looking for a number of miles traveled one way.
Any help with this question would be appreciated.
Thanks
