TRB Transportation Planning Applications Conference - Stay Until the End or You'll Miss Out!

by Weinberger Penelope

If you are coming to the Planning Applications conference, you’ll want to stay to the very end… -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [TMIP] TRB Transportation Planning Applications Conference - Stay Until the End or You'll Miss Out! Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2019 07:47:19 -0400 From: jdunbar <Julie(a)DUNBARTRANSPORTATION.COM><mailto:Julie@DUNBARTRANSPORTATION.COM> To: TMIP <tmip(a)mg.tmip.org><mailto:tmip@mg.tmip.org> As you plan your travel to TRBAppcon, be sure to stay until the very end of the Conference! We have great sessions and workshops planned for the final day, ending with a hands on workshop bringing together CTPP and R that you WON'T want to miss! Here's a description of what's in store: CTPP data and R-based survey analysis This workshop is in two parts, first a dive into the Census Transportation Planning Products Program and its rich demographic data set. Pitfalls and caveats of census and census based data, along with a healthy dose of generally good data practices. Then we will look at an exciting way to access the data into R, the opportunities available in a new way to mash CTPP and the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) along with other regional Household Travel Surveys, including the ability to make customized crosswalk requests from the CTPP and have them publicly available. You will leave this workshop with the R tools to repeat the demonstrated analysis, and directions for incorporating other local regional travel survey datasets. Intrigued? You should be! Record numbers of planners, engineers and data scientists have again registered to join their colleagues at the upcoming 17th TRB Transportation Planning Applications Conference (TRBAppcon) in Portland, June 2-5th. The Program-at-a-Glance can be found here<https://www.trbappcon.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019_Program_Detaile…> and I encourage you to take a look and start to plan you visit. If you've not yet registered, you can do that here<http://www.cvent.com/events/17th-trb-transportation-planning-applications-c…> - but don't wait too long as the rates go up again on May 1st! And by all means STAY UNTIL THE END OF THE CONFERENCE!! -- Full post: https://tmip.org/content/trb-transportation-planning-applications-conferenc… Manage my subscriptions: https://tmip.org/mailinglist Stop emails for this post: https://tmip.org/mailinglist/unsubscribe/13096

PSAP participants in every county: https://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/partnerships/psap/Primary_PSAP_Participant_Contact_Information.pdf

by Graham, Todd

Hi friends of Census Tracts- If it's useful to you... Census Bureau has published a contacts list of 2020 Census PSAP participating agencies, here: https://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/partnerships/psap/Primary_PSAP_Participant… This list covers every county in the nation. If the listing for your county points to an erroneous agency or a nonworking phone number/email, I suggest you alert Census's Geog Division: geo.psap(a)census.gov<mailto:geo.psap@census.gov> By the way, our office, Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities, has a few upcoming meetings where we'll be describing our review, validation and redrawing of Census Tracts and Block Groups. We are well into the preliminary work. Starting in March we will be pointing interested stakeholders to preliminary, proposed re-tracting for our 7-county region. And we will be inviting stakeholders to comment or express their needs for Census stats tabulations for sub-city zones, service areas, etc. We will consider whether those needs can possibly be met with 2020-vintage Tracts and Block Groups. It's possible we may receive some comments from outside of our region. When that happens, we will be redirecting commenters to the other county governments and regional development commissions in our state... May want to bookmark the participants list mentioned above! Hope that helps.

2012 - 2016 CTPP Tab is released

by Weinberger Penelope

Dear CTPP Community I am delighted to announce that the newest CTPP dataset is live at: http://data5.ctpp.transportation.org/ctpp1216<http://data5.ctpp.transportation.org/ctpp1216/Browse/browsetables.aspx> Please head on over, do some analysis, check out your data and report any problems back to me: pweinberger(a)aashto.org<mailto:pweinberger@aashto.org> All the bells and whistles are not yet in place (the tutorial needs updating still, among other things), but this set works substantially as the previous, so you all should be good to go.

PSAP -- Other criteria or principles for delineation?

by Reardon, Tim

Hi all, I imagine many of us are busy diving into GUPS and getting started with the delineation work. Obviously there are specific Census-defined thresholds for each type of statistical areas, but I’m curious to know if there are other criteria or principles that folks are using as they consider possible adjustments. Historical continuity aside, what makes for a good block group or tract? Should we seek to minimize heterogeneity by drawing boundaries that separate very different neighborhoods/sub-neighborhoods? Or is it better to have block groups/tracts that include a more diverse set of households and residents? I would imagine that the approach taken to these questions will affect not only the confidence intervals of the resulting ACS tables, but also the results of whatever research uses those tables. Any opinions or literature references on this topic would be most welcome!

Exploring Jobs/Housing Balance using the American Community Survey: Blog Posts

by Charles Purvis

Hello all: I just finished a three-part blog post entitled "Exploring Jobs/Housing Balance using the American Community Survey" I thought it would be of interest to some of you. I'm basically using the commute flow data (county-of-residence, intra-county, county-of-work) from Tables B08007 and B08501. Here are the three posts: https://censusmaven.wordpress.com/2019/02/26/exploring-jobs-housing-balance… https://censusmaven.wordpress.com/2019/02/27/exploring-jobs-housing-balance… https://censusmaven.wordpress.com/2019/02/28/exploring-jobs-housing-balance… The blog home is here: https://censusmaven.wordpress.com/blog/ This is the kind of "mental floss" activities that I do when I'm not watching baseball or going on international trips. I still get a kick out of it, even after being retired for 9 years and 5 months! :) I have other ideas for this master county-level database, and would love to here from you all, as well. Take care, Chuck Purvis, Hayward, Calfiornia (formerly with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in San Francisco) clpurvis(a)gmail.com

Making the "best use possible" out of employer databases of employee home location zip codes

by Cervenka, Kenneth (FTA)

Hello, My apologies to those who are on both the CTPP and TMIP lists, for a (much) more lengthy version of this question was recently asked on the TMIP list. What (if any) efforts have transportation planners made, in regards to comparing CTPP or LEHD-based home-work commuter flows to what can be obtained from employer databases containing the home location zip codes for all employees who work at specific geographic locations? Or comparison of information from travel model outputs of home-to-work flows to employer databases? I am particularly interested right now in whatever summary reports, memos or emails have been prepared, but will be happy to receive whatever feedback you might like to offer about successes or failures, either via a reply to the CTPP list, or directly to my email shown below. If you send anything directly to me, please let me know if you have any restrictions in place in regards to me sharing your comments with others. Thanks in advance!
