Re: [CTPP] New Urbanized Area Boundaries -- Impacts

by millef1＠mail.modot.state.mo.us

I can't answer your question directly, but I think it is important to note that many DOT's will be modifying the Census Definition for use in transportation planning. Therefore, if you concur with a modified boundary with the DOT, that boundary would probably not have bearing on another Federal agency's programs.

I have a fairly good understanding of the impact that new and re-aligned urban bounds will have in our State's Federal allotment of funds from US DOT. Does anyone know what other Federal agencies (other than DOT) use urbanized boundaries (either urban areas or clusters) for administrative and/or funding purposes?

DATA ON COMMUTER FLOWS (place-to-place, county-to-county, tract-to-tract, etc.) WILL BE RELEASED IN THE April-June 2003 time period. DATA ON WORKPLACE-based tables (Part 2) will also be released in the April-June 2003 period. *********************************************************************************************************************** Mark your calendars for January 27th! MTC and ABAG are hosting a free workshop on Census 2000, on Monday, January 27, 2003, 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM, at the MetroCenter Auditorium, 101 Eighth Street, Oakland. The title of the workshop is "CTPP and Census Products" and will cover two main topics: * the CTPP (Census Transportation Planning Package); and * the PUMS (Public Use Microdata Sample).

The CTPP, also known as the "Journey-to-Work Package" is a rich dataset that is "not just for transportation planners." The PUMS is a research dataset that provides the most flexibility for planners and researchers. Leading the workshop will be senior staff from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Federal Highway Administration, and MTC. We will have a web-based registration page in the next few days, and we encourage you to RSVP so we can make our necessary arrangements for seating, handouts & refreshments.

Re: [CTPP] ADJUSTED CENSUS COUNTS

by Srinivasan, Nanda <FHWA>

Don, I think the file is laid out in the exact same way as the PL-94-171 files. The software they are talking about is probably "allocate" and may be found on the PL-94-171 disk, so you can order one from the Census Bureau State Data Ce nter closest to you. The other way to do this is to follow my procedure posted a while ago on PL fi les. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census/pl2gis.htm Thanks Nanda Srinivasan >>> elizabeth.hartmann(a)dot.state.mn.us 01/08/03 11:09AM >>> Here's a possibility: Fromust a quick look at the file(s) structure, what you get when the files a re unzipped is something very similar to the SF1, 100% counts (someone please correct me if I'm off-the-wall, here).

2000 adjusted numbers online

by ed christopher

From: "Census2000" <census2000(a)ccmc.org> For Immediate Release Monday, January 6, 2003 For More Information Contact: Phil Sparks (202) 326-8700 "Adjusted Census 2000 Numbers Now Available" WASHINGTON-- The Census 2000 Initiative announced today that the University of California at Los Angeles has now posted the recently released adjusted Census 2000 population numbers on their Web site so that they may be available to the public and the policymakers. The link contains statistically adjusted Census 2000 population data at the block level for the entire country, pursuant to an order of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Carter v. U.S. Department of Commerce, 307 F.3d 1084. The data are adjusted based on the Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation (A.C.E.) survey conducted during Census 2000. The A.C.E. survey was designed to measure net undercounts (e.g. people missed) and overcounts (e.g. people counted twice) in the census. Last month, the U.S. Ninth Circuit ruled unanimously in a case brought by two Oregon state legislators, and supported by numerous state and local groups that the Census 2000 adjusted data are not shielded from release by "pre-decisional" and "deliberative process" exemptions under the federal Freedom of Information Act. "The City of Los Angeles has been fighting since 1988 for the federal government to release and use adjusted Census data to provide the most accurate basis for redistricting and the distribution of federal funds. At long last, we are now able to access this corrected Census data and understand the full dimensions of the undercount, its impact on California and the implications of the Bush Administration willfully ignoring the disproportionate undercount of Latinos, African-Americans, and other minority groups. The corrected data demonstrate that undercounting minority communities remains a serious problem that has not been resolved by the Census Bureau. We are proud to have played a role in forcing the release of this data", said Rocky Delgadillo, Los Angeles City Attorney. The U.S. Census Bureau data is posted on the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) FTP site http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/issr/da/Adjusted/adjust_web.html . ------ Ed Christopher Metropolitan Activities Midwest Resource Center Federal Highway Administration 19900 Governors Drive Olympia Fields, Illinois 60461 708-283-3534 (V) 708-283-3501 (F)
