Hi everyone, Just a quick reminder that there will be a census workshop at the TRB Annual Meeting again this year. Please see below for more details. Thank you!
TRB 91st Annual Meeting (January 22-26, 2012)
Event Title: C2KX + ACS1, 3, 5 = Census Data of the Future
Event Date: Jan 22 2012 9:00AM- 12:00PM
Event Location: Hilton, Cabinet
Sponsored By: Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems (ABJ30)
Event Description: The recent changes in the collection and dissemination of census data, including the use of the American Community Survey as a replacement for the long-form census questions, will require transportation planners and researchers to learn new skills and practices. This workshop focuses on how to obtain census data, how to assess which data set to use when, as well as how not to use the data. Workshop participants will receive training on the American FactFinder 2 website and other resources.
