[CTPP] Release of 2001 Supplementary Survey Data

TO: CTPP-News In today's "Census Product Update" (11-7-02) is the news item: Census Bureau Director to Brief Media on Release of Major Survey. (Released November 4, 2002) <http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2002/cb02cr21.html> The Census Bureau director is in Austin, this morning, to talk about the C2SS and the SS01 (Census 2000 Supplementary Survey and the 2001 Supplementary Survey). Folks may be interested in the "Press Kit" for this news conference, and Director Kincannon's slides. His first slide is about changes in mean travel time to work for the US, Texas, the Austin, Dallas, Forth Worth, Houston and the San Antonio MSAs. http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2002/presskit_SS01.html So, what this means is that the 2001 Supplementary Survey "Wave 1" data is now available, generally for very large areas. I'm starting to check out the data for my Big Counties and Metro Areas, and I recommend starting at the 2000-01 "changes" site, at: http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Products/Profiles/Chg/2001/SS01/index.htm In addition to the SS01 data, the Census Products news release mentions the first release of CTPP data: U.S. Census Bureau Announces Availability of First Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP 2000) Data. (Released October 31, 2002) <http://transportation.org/ctpp/home/default.htm> Hope this is of interest. Chuck Purvis, MTC
