https://www.census.gov/acs/www/about_the_survey/acs_program_review_faqs/ I know that today (March 26) was a busy day for many of you because of the CB release of the urbanized area list. But, while you are thinking about the Census Bureau, don't forget to submit your comments regarding ACS through their website. A little bird told me that the Census Bureau expected more traffic on this site, and they didn't know if people were waiting until the deadline, or if no one cared. OF COURSE WE (the transportation data community) CARE! There are 4 areas to which they are asking for comment: 1. data products 2. survey methodology 3.research and evaluation 4. communication AASHTO will be submitting a consolidated response via the CTPP Oversight Board, so you can give your feedback to Penelope Weinberger pweinberger(a)aashto.org<mailto:pweinberger@aashto.org> I have not seen a draft from AASHTO yet, so I can't tell if YOUR topic of interest will be included or not. I am sure the CB will not be surprised about negative feedback about AFF. :) Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)

FHWA - FAUB/UAB etc.

by Kevin Shipman

I've tried to answer this question myself looking through listserv messages and various web pages. I'm trying to understand the process for FHWA's adjusted urban area (FAUB/UAB). I looked through what Ed sent on Feb 10th - FHWA updated page w/ guidance: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/urbanized_areas_and_mpo_t ma/ This page has a ton of useful info but I didn't see anything on adjusted Urban Boundaries (FAUB/UAB/other). Does anyone know about this process, who is involved (State DOT, Cities, MPOs), and what the possible timelines are? I thought there was a move in FFC away from designating Urban vs. Rural Functional Class, perhaps things have changed and FHWA is no longer using adjusted boundaries this time around? Any help is greatly appreciated! Kevin Kevin Shipman GIS Analyst Spokane Regional Transportation Council 221 W First Ave, Suite 310 Spokane, WA 99201 509/343-6385

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

Some of you have already found this page using the original materials sent by Mike Ratcliffe, but just in case this makes your life easier... Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the map showing the new Urbanized Areas. I have not reviewed each to look for adjacency to existing MPOs. http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/2010_census_UA_maps/US_UAUC_2010.html Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)

aggregated MOE for 6 counties

by mkaminowitz＠baltometro.org

Hello, I need to get a regional estimate and MOE composed of 6 counties. I know the rule of thumb is that aggregating MOE's doesn't work well for more than 4 units. Does anyone know is using 6 would cause the MOE to be inaccurate? Mara Kaminowitz GIS Analyst .........................................................................
