RE: [CTPP] CTPP - Journey to Work by Mode -- historical statistics

The 1970 census was the first census that included a question on means of transportation to work . "Walked only" was identified separately on that form. The 1980 census was the first census that identified "bicycle" separately on the questionnaire. A publication called "Measuring America: The Decennial Censuses from 1790 to 2000," available in pdf at http://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/ma.html includes facsimiles of the questionnaires. The Federal Depository Library Program maintains copies of historical census publications.

You may have to read the documentation, and write some code to import these files into a useable format. Does anyone know of any such website for 1970 data?

I noticed that this site was mentioned recently, http://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/regional/reis/jtw/, but I couldn't find information on the modes of transportation that people used to get to work. It would also be helpful to find the numbers for those that walked to work in 1980, '70,'60 (if available) for Onondaga County, NYS as well. If anyone knows where I could find this information, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Danielle B.
