Re: [CTPP] NTD Urbanized Area

The Census 2010 New Urban areas are already available to download from the Census Bureau TIGER website. You will need to select "Urban Areas" in the drop down arrow list. http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles2010/main FTA's Urbanized Area Formula program can be found in this website. FTA will use Census released its 2010 Urbanized Area (UZA) designations and accompanying population and population density data for the formula apportionments beginning in Fiscal Year 2013. http://www.fta.dot.gov/grants/12853_12408.html The FHWA HEPGIS website is being updated. If you go to this page, select “new HEPGIS (Beta)” in RED in the upper right corner, then select the tab that says “MPO Information”. This includes the 2010 Census urbanized area boundaries. http://hepgis.fhwa.dot.gov/hepgis_v2/GeneralInfo/Map.aspx We have forwarded your query to Charlie Goodman at FTA (and have included him in this email chain as well). Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning 206-220-4460 (in Seattle) From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Earl Haugen Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 11:41 AM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: [CTPP] NTD Urbanized Area beginning of an email from NTD regarding transit operators and 2010 urbanized areas: As most of you already know, the US Census Bureau has recently announced a new set of Urbanized Areas based on the results of the 2010 Decennial Census. 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.
