We now have two new documents online. The first is a PowerPoint
presentation with embedded speaker notes. It discusses the status of
CTPP 2000 planning efforts with a focus on the TAZ-UP process. The
presentation was put together as a means of training folks interested in
the CTPP and TAZ-UP process. It is a good overview for both technical
staff and managers responsible for CTPP activities. It can be reached
through the TRB Census Subcommittee's webpage or downloaded directly at
http://members.xoom.com/berwyned/ctpp/ctpp0699.ppt (note: it is just
under 0.5 megabytes.)
Kudos to Elaine Murakami (FHWA) and Clara Reschovsky (Census) for the
content and Kevin Cross (BTS) for the production as well as the CTPP
Planning Group for its review efforts.
The second document is the technical manual for the TAZ-UP software and
process. It can also be found on the TAZ-UP software CD-ROM. The
document is in PDF format and was prepared by Election Data Services,
the consultant who designed the TAZ-UP software. The document can be
found through the TRB Census Subcommittee s web site or downloaded
directly from
http://members.xoom.com/berwyned/ctpp/tazupdoc.pdf (note:
it is 6.5 megabytes.)
Both document are under the Subcommittees web site at

under the "Committee Notes and Articles" button. If you have any
problems downloading these let me know.
