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.
