Some of you have asked when the next journey to work tabulation would be available, and I have answered that the AASHTO CTPP program is not planning on another flow tabulation until the 2012-2016 ACS data are accumulated for a 5-year data product.

 

However, the Census Bureau, independently of the CTPP program, will be producing a county-to-county commuting flow file for 2009-2013 5-yr ACS. It will include total flows, AND a short list of travel mode (4 categories....drove alone, carpooled, transit, other).

It is expected to available approximately May 2015.

 

Hurrah!  We seem to making progress in having the Census Bureau increase relevant transportation tables as part of their standard products, reducing what is needed from a special tabulation which costs money!
