RE: [CTPP] RE: County-to-county worker flow data, 2000

by danielle.cervantes＠uniontrib.com

This trend has been amply written about in San Diego. I have the CTPP data, and I was trained to explore it (thanks Steve and Paul!), but I haven't had an opportunity yet. Generally, the "regular" Census releases have answered our questions. Am I missing something? -----Original Message----- From: Sirota, Stuart [mailto:SirotaS@pbworld.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 1:08 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: RE: [CTPP] RE: County-to-county worker flow data, 2000 Alan - But you've already given us your answer: "stay and commute", right?

The 2000 CTPP simply confirms what any 6 year old buckled into the back seat of a minivan can plainly see: Americans are being compelled to spend ever-greater amounts of time in cars, over longer distances.

Ohio, Va. etc. A lot of this can be an accidental product of geog. (East vs West States) but there is something else going on -- much of it I believe is rural workers heading to the metro suburbs for work. Note W Va had largest increase in trav times - that wasn't congestion in Wheeling.Also think of the car plants in the south. I recall someone saying that all but 3 of the 104 counties in Ky sent workers to the Georgetown car plant. I intend to spend a lot of time on this in Commuting in America III.

RE: County-to-county worker flow data, 2000

by Hartgen, David

Colleagues, Elaine Murakami at FHWA has suggested I contact you. I am working on a county-to-county work flow analysis for North Carolina's 100 counties, and am interested to know if anyone is/has done something similar for cities or for other states or US regions. The issues we are addressing are: 1. Has inter-county commuting increased as a share of trips, VMT, and fuel use since 1990? 2. What percent of state travel and fuel use is in intra- and inter-county commuting? Is it a declining or increasing share? My student (Ellen Cervera) has completed the first phase of her work, for 2000, and is beginning the 1990 analysis. Her problem involves computing, for all NC co-to-co flows (100*100), the % of vehicle trips (adjusted for carpooling), the % of VMT (using a distance matrix and 20 % road circuituity), and % of fuel use (using weighted fuel rates from Hy Statistics VM-1) that is inter-co versus intra-co; also these %'s as a function of total state use, and changes in these %'s from 1990 to 2000. The effects are hypothesized to be compensating: that is, trips are getting longer and the % of travel that is inter-county is increasing, but fuel use is declining per mile, so the magnitude of fuel use in inter-county may be stable or declining over time. My modeling system is TransDAD (http://www.caliper.com) Anyone working on a similar problem with the 2000 county-to-county data? We would appreciate receiving materials at this location or at fax 704-687-3442. Thanks Prof. David T. Hartgen UNC Charlotte 704-687-4308

county subdivision flows

by Paul Reim

Any word on when (if?) the county subdivision to county subdivision worker flows are going to be released for the northeastern states? They might keep the hungry hordes here at bay until the CTPP part 3 data is released. ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul Reim Chief Planner, Data Resources / GIS Central Transportation Planning Staff Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization 10 Park Plaza, Suite 2150 Boston, MA 02116 voice: (617) 973-8132 fax: (617) 973-8855

[Fwd: 2000 Worker Flows]

by ed christopher

i am passing this along to the list. i believe that is where michael meant it to go. when posting to the list the list serve address is "ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net". someone along the way slipped the word "owner-" in front of the address which sends the message only to me. also, when responding to the entire list, please make sure to "reply all" to make sure your response goes to the list and not just the person who stimulated the response. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2000 Worker Flows Date: Fri, 30 May 2003 08:01:11 -0700 From: "Michael Clarke" <mclarke(a)citilabs.com> To: <owner-ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net> To follow-on to Davids email about worker flows, Cube 3.1 and Viper 3.1 directly develop and display county-to-county flows for 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000.
