Re: [CTPP] June 12 webinar on "urbanized area" definitions by CensusBureau 100 MORE SLOTS ADDED, sign up now!

Thank you Elaine. I appreciate the effort your are going through. Dear Everyone - Your VOCIFEROUS complaints are heard and I am trying my best to address them. NOTE: If you are ALREADY REGISTERED, please DO NOT re-register. Later this week, Ed will send out a notice with the ROOM (URL), telephone and passcode. Because of getting more slots, we are being moved to a NEW ROOM. On Friday, June 12, 2009 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern, FHWA will host a webinar on the Census Bureau's plans for "new" Urbanized Areas (UA) boundaries. The UA boundaries are extremely important for transportation planning and programming because they begin to define the area and population counts used for many of the Federal funding programs. Simply put, the UA population means money. The UA boundary is also important as it begins to define the core area from which MPOs evolve. The webinar is open to anyone with internet access on a first come first served basis. Pre registration is required. Space is limited. For those unable to attend, the session will be recorded. To attend you must pre-register. To register go to http://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/webconference/web_conf_learner_reg .aspx?webConfID=17154 Webinar Census Bureau's Planning for Urbanized Areas Friday, June 12, 2009 1:00PM to 3:00 PM (Eastern) The session will include speakers from the Census Bureau's Geography Division and FHWA staff who will discuss the transportation perspective. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers. The session is targeted to individuals with transportation planning responsibilities who need to understand the plans and processes under consideration that will be used to define UAs.
