PSAP / TAZ Update from CTPP Oversight Board

by Tom Faella

Good afternoon CTPP news participants, As a member of the CTPP Oversight Board, I'm sending you this update and invitation for you to contact one of your regional Census Bureau regional geographers if you would like to be invited to be a PSAP participant for your area: PSA / TAZ Update (State DOTs, MPOs and RPCs) In January the AASHTO CTPP Oversight Board implemented a policy change stating that Census Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) would no longer be part of any future special data tabulation data requests. Instead Census Block Groups would result in the smallest geographic level at which the data would be requested. To help MPOs and states align their planning zones with Census related geography those interested are strongly encouraged to participate in the Census program that allows users to work on the design of the small area geography in their area through the Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The Census Bureau is currently compiling its list of PSAP participants. To get on the list to be invited to be a participant, state DOTs and MPOs should contact their Census Bureau regional geographer and let them know that you want to be invited to participate and get on the invitation list. The effort, in most states is being led by the state's Data Center and their affiliates so it is important for MPOs and state DOTs make sure they are included. To find out which Census Region you are in look here. https://www.census.gov/regions. At the end of this email is a list, by region of the Census geographers to contact. A copy and explanation of the Oversight Board TAZ policy can be found here. http://ctpp.transportation.org/Documents/CTPP%20Policy%20Change%20Announcem… In May a webinar was held for the transportation planning community explaining the policy and introducing the PSAP program.
