Apologies to all. Meant to forward to folks in-house. Hit "send" before changing the "recipients" field.

Data was "embargoed" by the Census Bureau. Available to the media at noon today, but not released publicly to everyone else (including us) until midnight tonight. Bob Schwartz should be downloading the file sometime in the morning.

If you have Census PIO embargo access, you'll be able to dig into it as early as Monday afternoon. This is a new product -- so I'm not sure how the data will be structured -- anyone know? Enjoy. --Todd Graham Metropolitan Council Research ________________________________________ From: U.S. Census Bureau [census(a)subscriptions.census.gov] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2013 9:54 AM Subject: Census Bureau News -- **Census Bureau Media Advisory** Commuting Products to be Embargoed FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 2013 Public Information Office CB13-39 301-763-3030 email: <pio(a)census.gov> ***CENSUS BUREAU MEDIA ADVISORY*** Commuting Products to be Embargoed The U.S. Census Bureau's Public Information Office will offer an embargo period next week for members of the media to view a series of commuting products.
