[CTPP] CTPP Webinar

I am sending this e-mail to the list because, if two people have questions about it, others may also. I received an e-mail about the webinar from the CTPP listserve on May 18. I have copied the e-mail below: On Friday, June 12, 2009 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern, FHWA will host a webinar on the Census Bureau's plans for “new” Urbanized Areas (UA) boundaries. The UA boundaries are extremely important for transportation planning and programming because they begin to define the area and population counts used for many of the Federal funding programs. Simply put, the UA population means money. The UA boundary is also important as it begins to define the core area from which MPOs evolve. The webinar is open to anyone with internet access on a first come first served basis. Pre registration is required. Space is limited. For those unable to attend, the session will be recorded. To attend you must pre-register.
