Re: [CTPP] Reconciling Census Transit Commuters with Ridership Statistics

I already did. Earlier tonight I sent it to Rich Weaver and I will report back. From a data perspective it is important that we have a sound basis and understanding of how our various data files inter relate. Concerning Census products this is especially important as we (the transportation planning community) are developing a national research approach to examine the viability and usefulness of the upcoming American Community Survey--the long form replacement. As far as Chucks missive, its important for all of us to take this down to lower level geographies where possible. We have household travel surveys, on board surveys and a whole host of places to look. We really need to "turn over every stone" and not just go for the first plausible explanation.
