Subject: Metropolitan Travel Survey Archive: Request for Surveys
To Whom It May Concern,
Since 2003, the Metropolitan Travel Survey Archive (MTSA) has been cataloging and preserving travel surveys conducted by metropolitan areas across the United States. To date, the MTSA has collected and processed 80 travel surveys, provided a space for users to download the raw data and to utilize tools that can analyze the data through our website < http://www.surveyarchive.org/ >. We continue to seek any travel surveys that we don't currently have.
Since the advent of the MTSA's website, over 8,500 users from around the world have utilized the webpage. For students at the University of Minnesota, the MTSA has been used as a tool to teach them how to understand and read surveys, analyze a wide range of U.S. cities, and learn key concepts in transportation studies. Yet the greatest value derived from the MTSA is its ability to allow users, whether they are academics or transportation study professionals, to conduct online analyses or to save time in accessing data: users can instantly download each survey, in either a raw or processed format, without having to ask each transportation agency for their data sets. As a corollary, this saves transportation agencies from having to provide their data to every individual asking for one.
If you are willing to provide any travel surveys we don't currently have, we would greatly appreciate it. Please contact the Primary Project Contact at mill3315(a)umn.edu<mailto:mill3315@umn.edu> or the Principal Investigator at dlevinson(a)umn.edu<mailto:dlevinson@umn.edu> .
Sincerely,
Stephen Miller, David Levinson, and Elaine Murakami

CTPP Profiles
using ACS 2006-2010 and Census 2010
These profiles include data from the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS), the 2000 and 2010 Censuses, and the Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP) 2000. The profiles are designed to give transportation planners a handy way to examine trends by including two time points. The profiles are available for the U.S. total; all states; all counties; and places with population 5,000 or more, based on 2010 Census counts.
Each transportation profile has the following tables: Table 1 Selected Characteristics; Total Persons, Persons in Households, Total Households, Average Household Size, Average Household Income, Average Number of Vehicles per Households, Percent of Persons in Poverty, Percent Minority, Percent of Persons 65 and Over, Percent of Persons Foreign Born. Table 2 Mode to Work; Total Workers at Place of Residence, Mode to Work at Place of Residence and at Place of Work and Table 3 Mean Travel Time by Mode to Work.

The September issue of the CTPP Newsletter is now availble. The direct
link to it is http://www.trbcensus.com/newsltr/sr0912.pdf. The HTML
version of it will be posted on the FHWA website shortly.
This issue will be of particular interest to those who will be working
with the 5-year CTPP data since it describes the new "Extended
Allocation" used to allow for the data to be geocoded to small areas
(TAZs). When will the 5-year CTPP be available? See the newsletter.
There are also articles the status of the NEW Commuting in America
report and using journey to work data for Medicare.

Just downloaded this yesterday. This is a very useful dataset for us as
travel surveys are quite expensive.
So is there a newer version of this?

Sorry. I just realized Bjorn was asking for "GIS-based" data. What I
sent him was just the flow table for the US. I do have a GIS file for
NC that I created but not for the whole US.

Good morning CTPP folks,
I have been trying to download GIS-based 06-08 ACS county-to-county
commuter flows for North Carolina from the CTPP site, and I am running
into timeout issues with the shape file downloads. Does anyone have this
information available that they could email me?
Thanks for any information you can provide.

Hello,
I am interested if anyone has been working with the new Census API lately?
Have you or your organization created any products with it yet? Are there
any in the works?
