Please plan to attend the CTPP Oversight Board Webinar on Small Geography Data Reporting
April 3, 2018, 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM, Eastern Time
In January, 2018 the CTPP Oversight Board officially announced that data sets following the 2012-2016 data set expected in 2019 will not contain small geography at the Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) and Transportation Analysis District (TAD) levels. We are adopting the standard Census Block Group for future data tabulations. To support the creation of Block Groups that are useful for transportation planning the Board is recommending that the transportation community review and comment on the current Federal Register’s notice on criteria for 2020 Census geography (linked below), and to participate in the 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP).
To help the transportation community prepare for this change, CTPP will host a webinar on Tuesday, April 3, 2018. The webinar will include overviews of the Board’s policy, the Census criteria and PSAP programs, and how one agency will be involved with PSAP
and what that means to MPOs and states. The presentations will be followed with time for Q&A.
Registration for this free webinar is required. Register at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8410252790735912963
