God Afternoon, I will not be able to attend the meeting in Irvine. Will the materials from the presentation be made available to the rest of us?

Draft Proposal for Transportation-Related Data Products from ACS for 2004 and Beyond (phillip.a.salopek(a)census.gov) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 9 May 2005 15:20:27 -0400 From: phillip.a.salopek(a)census.gov Subject: [CTPP] Draft Proposal for Transportation-Related Data Products from ACS for 2004 and Beyond To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Message-ID: <OF7CC6352E.48D7DC51-ON85256FFC.0066CE0C-85256FFC.006A3E59(a)census.gov> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I will be delivering a presentation this week in Irvine CA at the Transportation Research Board Conference, "Census Data for Transportation Planning: Preparing for the Future." I've put together a handout to go along with the presentation which outlines the transportation-related content in some new and/or revamped ACS data products. These proposals have not received final approval yet, so are still subject to change. But I've been asked to post them to the listserve to reach a wider audience. The bottom line is that the standard products from ACS will have a lot more tables on the characteristics of workers than have been previously produced in either the ACS or in the decennial census. And for the first time ever, there will be data tabulated by workplace geography in a standard Census Bureau data product. The handout does not cover all products from ACS, just two new types of products ("selected population profiles" and "subject tables") and a major revision to the detailed tables (to be called "base tables" in the future). You should print out the various worksheets to look at them, since there is useful information in the headers and footers that does not show up when you are just looking at the sheet on the screen. --Phil (See attached file: Irvine-Handout_Proposed_ACS_Standard_Tables.xls)
