Penelope- Do you know when the revised ACS questions describing the transit modes, including Light rail and commuter rail/intercity rail changes will start to be used on the ACS? I was told it was going to start in 2016, so a full 5 year sample from 2016-2020 would be available for the 2020 census product. I assume this means that the 2012-2016 data will have one year of the revised mode question data for transit with the current questions? Will that present any issues? Also are there any other changes, I know there was a relook at the time leaving home to maybe time arriving at work. I am already starting to use this new 2009-2013 product. Thanks for any information. Tom Marchwinski, NJ TRANSIT

Thanks Brian, this is awesome!
A great interim product between two full blown CTPP tabulations. The current data, based on the 2006 – 2010 ACS is out now, and the next non-overlapping full tab be based on the 2012 – 2016 ACS (we skipped a year, to take full advantage of the increase in sample size) is expected in late 2018.
So all you data-philes can use this county level data until the next thing rolls our way…

Good morning,
Just wanted to give a heads up that the new county commuting flows, based on the 5-year 2009-2013 ACS were released today. The tables include the typical worker flow counts as well as a means of transportation component (4 categories: drove alone, carpool, transit, other). The tables also include a metropolitan area indicator, so it is possible to sort and organize by metro area.
Enjoy,
Brian
