[CTPP] RE: disability status

I don't know of any useful solutions; however, I just hope that the kind Environmental Justice folks at FHWA and FTA are aware of this situation when we they hammer our Benefits and Burdens Analysis documents during the 4-year MPO Certification Review.

Among other things, this variable is key for transit planning. Are there any suggestions or creative solutions regarding to this problem or will we be mapping 2000 data for several more years?
