The CTPP is a set of special tabulations designed by transportation
planners using data from the Census Bureau. The most current release of
CTPP data comes from the 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS)
sample, and includes data from small geographic units such as census
tracts and transportation analysis zones (TAZs).

The CTPP is a unique census product providing data relating to the
journey to work, including travel mode, number of household vehicles,
demographic variables, employment status, income and poverty
information, life cycle, and many other characteristics. Data tables
for home and work locations, and worker flow (home-to-work) are
available. A rough agenda for the full-day training session is below:

●       Introductions and welcome
●       Introduction to the CTPP
