Re: [CTPP] FHWA - FAUB/UAB etc.

Here is a link to page 6 of the Frequently Asked Questions, which discussed func class. Please contact Joe Hausman if your question is related to HPMS, and otherwise to Spencer Stevens. Their email address is in the FAQ. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/urbanized_areas_and_mpo_tma/… Elaine From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Kevin Shipman Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 12:06 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: [CTPP] FHWA - FAUB/UAB etc. I've tried to answer this question myself looking through listserv messages and various web pages. I'm trying to understand the process for FHWA's adjusted urban area (FAUB/UAB). I looked through what Ed sent on Feb 10th - FHWA updated page w/ guidance: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/urbanized_areas_and_mpo_tma/ This page has a ton of useful info but I didn't see anything on adjusted Urban Boundaries (FAUB/UAB/other). Does anyone know about this process, who is involved (State DOT, Cities, MPOs), and what the possible timelines are? I thought there was a move in FFC away from designating Urban vs. Rural Functional Class, perhaps things have changed and FHWA is no longer using adjusted boundaries this time around?
