CTPP Tables for Small Geographic Areas

by Harry P Wolfe

Will there be CTPP Tables prepared for areas of 65,000 people or more, or for areas of 20,000 people or more? If so, when would that occur? Sincerely Harry P. Wolfe

RE: A Question - work flow vs. HBW trip rate

by Binbin Chen

Elaine and Ed, Thank you very much for your answers. They are very helpful. One more question on this issue. In Eric's explanation- "Using a factor of 1.5, 1,000 employees would generate 1,500 HBW trips; then you'd need to divide by two to approximate a CTPP-derived home-to-work trip, giving you 750 trips." Does he mean comparing "750 trip" to the "CTPP workers" ? Thanks a lot!

Workers at work is generally at least 10 percent lower than employment or jobs. Also, the Census 2000 allows a response for only 1 job per worker. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ctpp/ctppatwork.htm NCHRP 365 used results from regional household travel surveys AND the 1990 NPTS. (Page 23) You might want to take a look at the NHTS transferability project that FHWA completed a few years ago. http://nhts.ornl.gov/tools.shtml The work was done by Oak Ridge National Labs and uses the 2001 NHTS data, and estimates total person trips, total vehicle trips, and trips by purpose at the tract level. You need to understand how trip purpose is coded. I glanced at results for census tracts in one county in Washington State and HBW were about 12% of total trips. Let's say that the overall average number of household trips is 9 or 10, then 12% would be 1.1 to 1.2. The transferability project provides trips rates by household size and vehicle availability. However, it is very important to understand that a trip from WORK to SHOP, and then SHOP to HOME, would not be included as a WORK to HOME (with 1 stop) in the count of HBW trips. This is why, using the concept of TOURS and TRIP CHAINING has become increasingly used in travel demand models. The links below are to Nancy McGuckin's papers (2001 NHTS and 1995 NPTS) on trip chaining: http://www.travelbehavior.us/projects_files/Trip%20Chaining%20Trends%20i n%20the%20US%20TRB%20paper%2005-1716%20(2).pdf http://nhts.ornl.gov/1995/Doc/Chain2.pdf Hope this helps.

Basically, CTPP counts workers, not trip. Then can it be used to compute HBW trip per household? For example, assume 1.5 trips/worker (NCHRP#365), HBW trip/HH = 1.5*workers/household numbers ? And How can CTPP work flow compare to NHTS HBW trip rate? I highly appreciate your help! Best, Binbin

Quick TAZ Update

by Ed Christopher

Earlier this week the AASHTO CTPP Oversight Board met and reached an agreement on TAZs for ACS. MPOs and states wishing to create TAZs will be able to do so during the summer of 2011. This is a change from the previous schedule (spring of 2009) and now gives everyone more time along with the benefit of knowing what the block level 2010 population counts will be when making TAZs. Stay tuned for more details. In other news from the Census Bureau... American Community Survey 2005-2007 Data Release — On Dec. 9, the Census Bureau will release the first set of three-year American Community Survey data for all geographies with populations greater than 20,000. The release will provide the first look at detailed socioeconomic and housing characteristics for geographies between 20,000 and 64,999 since Census 2000. (Data will be embargoed to the media Dec. 4.) -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 19900 Governors Dr Olympia Fields, IL 60461

ACS Reference Materials

by Ed Christopher

The Census Bureau just released the first of a series of "handbooks" aimed at helping data users negotiate their way through ACS data. This first handbook, "What General Data Users Need to Know" will help general audiences understand the basics of the ACS, its opportunities and challenges, and how to access and use the ACS data on the Census Bureau's Web site. The handbook can be found at http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/ACSGeneralHandbook.pdf The handbook itself is part of a much broader suite of e-learning ACS materials that can found at http://www.census.gov/acs/www/UseData/Compass/compass_series.html In addition, NCHRP Report 588 "A Guidebook for Using the American Community Survey Data for Transportation Planning" is a MUST HAVE for the transportation planner. It can be found on-line at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_588.pdf -- Ed Christopher Resource Center Planning Team Federal Highway Administration 19900 Governors Drive Olympia Fields, Illinois 60461 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) 708-283-3501 (F)
