Regarding 'light rail,' if included the wording would need to acknowledge
local references.  When I inquired in San Diego about the closest
light rail stop the person laughed. It conjured up images of low-calorie
rail in a place he called their system a trolley.

If your are interested in the content of the ACS you should pay 
attention to this.  For example, we periodically hear that the ACS 
should have "Light Rail" as an option on the questionnaire. If this or 
other data content items are issues for you now is the time to let your 
interest known.

If you do comment and do not mind sharing your comments with me 
(edc@berwyned.com) or Elaine Murakami (Elaine.Murakami@dot.gov) we will 
be keeping track on the side.
