[CTPP] CTPP Part 1 Update for Aug 8

This week, the Census Bureau mailed CDs to: IA, ME, MA, NE, PA, RI, SD, VT, WY This leaves 14 states remaining, of which 8 are already in the duplication process and will probably be mailed early next week. The Census Bureau's goal is to complete the Part 1 release by August 15. It is still taking from a week to 10 days for people to receive their copies in the mail, but we have asked the Census Bureau to investigate. Many people are having problems with installing the software, but our computer whiz, Nanda Srinivasan is helping everyone out. 202-366-5021. Just as a reminder: State DOTs and MPOs have a month to review the data and talk to the Census Bureau if they find data problems. After a month, the Census Bureau will finalize the data and provide copies for general public distribution via the USDOTs Bureau of Transportation Statistics. We do not anticipate CTPP Parts 2 and 3 to be available until late Fall 2003 and into Winter 2004. Elaine Murakami, FHWA 206-220-4460 in Seattle
