Re: [CTPP] NTD Urbanized Area

Still an unclear answer; but there will be a free webinar on June 28th from NTI.   Earl T.

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.
