2000 Urbanized Area

by Dickson, Brian

Hello, Maybe someone out there can help me. I am trying to find the 2000 Census Urbanized Area shapefiles so we can do a comparison of the 2000 vs. 2010 urbanized area boundaries. I have been searching all over the Census website and they have had great success in hiding this data from view. If anyone out there has the link to where you can download the 2000 urbanized area boundaries I would greatly appreciate it!

Census Single Family, Multi Family, & Auto Ownership

by John Voges

1. The 2010 census doesn't directly contain the information needed to determine single family and multi family dwelling units. A better indicator is the use of parcel data along with 911 data to determine single family and multi family dwelling units. 2. The 2010 census didn't collect the auto ownership data that was collected in 2000. However, the use of the DHSMV data will get you the exact auto ownership by address. -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-request(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-request@chrispy.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 16:36 To: ctpp-news(a)ryoko.chrispy.net Subject: ctpp-news Digest, Vol 101, Issue 6 Send ctpp-news mailing list submissions to ctpp-news(a)ryoko.chrispy.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://ryoko.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ctpp-news-request(a)ryoko.chrispy.net You can reach the person managing the list at ctpp-news-owner(a)ryoko.chrispy.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ctpp-news digest..."

Census pop estimates

This is an interesting article Wendell Cox sent me from a friend of friend. We all remember when the Census Bureau changed from using county based estimates to using sub-county estimates in 2009 which are then used to factor and weight the ACS.

Census allowing for apps

by Ed Christopher

This came across the census news today. This could be the start of something big. Web Transformation Census Application Programming Interface (API) — The Census Bureau is releasing its first ever API. This online service provides the building blocks for developers to design online and mobile apps, such as interactive maps, charts and databases, using a variety of Census Bureau statistics. The API provides statistics down to the neighborhood level (tracts and block groups) from the 2010 Census Summary File 1 and the 2006-2010 American Community Survey. With these two datasets available in the form of an API, database editors and other developers have easier access to a wide variety of timely, localized information, including population totals, age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, home ownership, education, income, employment, commuting and occupation. The API is currently undergoing beta testing and is scheduled for public release in July. More information about the API can be found at <http://www.census.gov/developers/>. -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 4749 Lincoln Mall Drive, Suite 600 Matteson, IL 60443

Save the Date: Training opportunity for Chicago area users.

by Weinberger, Penelope

Hi All, CTPP training will be offered in Chicago on August 6th and 7th 2012. Registration details will be available after July 15th, but it will be free and open to transportation planners and data users. Registration will be limited. CTPP training is a day and a half of data, data issues, census, CTPP and hands on training and work with the data and CTPP products. You will gain an in depth understanding of how and when to use the data set and software, along with a deep knowledge of the pitfalls and advantages. A laptop with internet access (to available wifi) and a CD reader is recommended. The training will be from 12 - 4:30 on Monday and 8:30 - 4:00 on Tuesday. Penelope Weinberger CTPP Program Manager AASHTO 202-624-3556 http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/default.aspx <http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/default.aspx> It's just as bad to not make a plan as to blindly follow the one you already have.

Sharing prototype of travel survey data visualization tools developed by ORNL

by Elaine.Murakami＠dot.gov

http://nhts.ornl.gov/det/ Data Visualization Prototypes from Oak Ridge National Labs, for Federal Highway Administration I don't know how long these tools have been available on the NHTS website, but I found them a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would share the link because these ideas might be useful for : 1. People who are working on the Commuting in America project 2. People who have their own regional or statewide household survey and plan for interactive web-based data access tools If you have questions about NHTS: a contact list is available here: http://nhts.ornl.gov/contactUs.shtml If you have questions about the data visualization prototype, please contact Dr. Ho-Ling Hwang at hwanghl(a)ornl.gov<mailto:hwanghl@ornl.gov> Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle)

NTD Urbanized Area

by John Voges

NTD recently released their guidelines, their Allocation of NTD Data/2010 Census form letter, and 2 spreadsheets showing the urbanized areas in the US and their corresponding populations. These are the UZAs and population that must be used. If your transit coverage also includes areas outside of these UZAs, then there's accommodation for that as well. -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-request(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-request@chrispy.net] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 12:24 To: ctpp-news(a)ryoko.chrispy.net Subject: ctpp-news Digest, Vol 100, Issue 13 Send ctpp-news mailing list submissions to ctpp-news(a)ryoko.chrispy.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://ryoko.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ctpp-news-request(a)ryoko.chrispy.net You can reach the person managing the list at ctpp-news-owner(a)ryoko.chrispy.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ctpp-news digest..."

The NEW Adjusted UZA boundary will be used to change the "rural" designation to "urban" for HPMS purpose and Functional Class purpose. ? The new Adjusted UZA boundary will be used to provide outdoor advertising control. ? The impact of adjusted UZA boundary will be minimal on Apportionment formula (from change in rural to urban classification of minor collectors) and & it is NOT required to adjust the UZA boundary, unless the MPO or the State wants to. ? Distribution of STP funds guarantee that a minimum of 110% of the amount of funds for Federal Aid Secondary system must be spent in rural areas. A rural area is defined as the area outside the Adjusted UZA. State can exclude this FAUA (Adjusted Urbanized Area) from spending its monies that is allocated for rural roadways. ?

Additionally, FTA is required by law to use these new Urbanized Areas for the Fiscal Year 2013 Apportionment, which will be based on NTD Report Year 2011 Data. We are expecting that the Census Bureau will very soon be releasing the final Urbanized Area Boundary maps from the 2010 Census. This e-mail is to provide you with additional information on how that process will work. Upon release the Census Boundary maps for the 2010 Census, each of you must identify which Urbanized Area (UZA) or Areas are served by your transit system. In addition, you will need to identify whether your transit systems services any rural or non-urbanized areas. An area is served by your transit system if you pick up passengers in that area. (Note: Some demand response systems allow passengers to travel to a particular location, but do not allow trip originations in that area. In this case, do not list these destinations as ?served? by your transit system.) Please note that you must identify all areas served by your system, regardless of whether or not you plan to allocate service data to those areas. Is this the same as the already released Census urbanized areas (what is new from what has already been released?) Can we submit our Federal Aid Adjusted Urban Area instead? Or just stick to a Census define boundary of urbanized. Thanks Earl T.
