Dear Everyone – Your VOCIFEROUS complaints are heard and I am trying my best to address them.
NOTE: If you are ALREADY REGISTERED, please DO NOT re-register. Later this week, Ed will send out a notice with the ROOM (URL), telephone and passcode. Because of getting more slots, we are being moved to a NEW ROOM.
On Friday, June 12, 2009 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern, FHWA will host a webinar on the Census Bureau's plans for “new” Urbanized Areas (UA) boundaries. The UA boundaries are extremely important for transportation planning and programming because they begin to define the area and population counts used for many of the Federal funding programs. Simply put, the UA population means money. The UA boundary is also important as it begins to define the core area from which MPOs evolve. The webinar is open to anyone with internet access on a first come first served basis. Pre registration is required. Space is limited. For those unable to attend, the session will be recorded.
To attend you must pre-register. To register go to
