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.

Subject: [CTPP] disability status

If I have this right, changes in the disability status question from the Census means that small area disability data (bg and tract) will not be available until 2013. 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?
