[CTPP] FW: Webinar invitation: Important policy change on small geography in CTPP

Hi All, The webinar referenced below took place and can be accessed at the following URL: http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/Small-Geography-Data-Reporting-Webinar… The presentations are also there for you to download. Please plan to attend the CTPP Oversight Board Webinar on Small Geography Data Reporting April 3, 2018, 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM, Eastern Time In January, 2018 the CTPP Oversight Board officially announced that data sets following the 2012-2016 data set expected in 2019 will not contain small geography at the Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) and Transportation Analysis District (TAD) levels. We are adopting the standard Census Block Group for future data tabulations. To support the creation of Block Groups that are useful for transportation planning the Board is recommending that the transportation community review and comment on the current Federal Register’s notice on criteria for 2020 Census geography (linked below), and to participate in the 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). To help the transportation community prepare for this change, CTPP will host a webinar on Tuesday, April 3, 2018. The webinar will include overviews of the Board’s policy, the Census criteria and PSAP programs, and how one agency will be involved with PSAP and what that means to MPOs and states. The presentations will be followed with time for Q&A.​ Agenda CTPP Oversight Policy on Small and Custom Geography in CTPP Tabulations Tom Faella, La Crosse Area Planning Committee Proposed Census Tract and Block Group Criteria and How to Get Involved in PSAP Vince Osier and Joshua Coutts, Census Bureau Geography Division Aligning 2020 Census geographies with TAZs: Who to Involve and How It Can Be Done Benjamin Gruswitz and Kimberly Korejko, Delaware Regional Planning Commission Questions and Answers, Participants’ Experience and Recommendations (30 minutes) Resources: Policy Change Announcement on Small and custom Geography in CTPP<http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/Policy-Change-on-Small-Geograp… Federal Register Notice on Proposed Geography Criteria<https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/02/15>
