[CTPP] 2008 ACS selected tables for Metro areas

For your potential use, I extracted 3 tables from the 2008 ACS data (released by the Census Bureau yesterday) and saved as .xls file. Of course, you could have done this yourself, and several of you have probably already made local data sheets. They are: C08134: Means of Transportation to Work by Travel Time B08141: Means of Transportation to work by Vehicles Available C08301: Means of Transportation to work (univariate) I used the data download feature http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/DownloadDatasetServlet?_lang=en For more information about the ACS Table List, please go here: http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Products/users_guide/index.htm Please be aware that not all Metro Areas will have data available for each table, since the coefficient of variation (CoV) is checked before release. When the table number starts with "C" it means it is the collapsed version. Therefore, you can use the "B" table instead with more categories, by going back into American FactFinder, or the Data Download Center. For each cell, there is an ESTIMATE and a MOE (Margin of Error). The MOE cell does NOT include "+/-" in the cell value (Hurrah!). As a reminder, FHWA prepared transportation profile sheets using Census 2000, CTPP2000 and the 2005-2007 ACS results which are posted on the CTPP AASHTO webpage http://ctpp.transportation.org/profiles_2005-2007/ctpp_profiles.html These profiles include State, County and Place, and do NOT include Metropolitan Area totals. Because they use an accumulation of three years of ACS, the population threshold is 20,000 and therefore, more geographic areas are available. We are not planning to update these profile sheets when the next 3-year ACS (2006-2007-2008) data are released. Elaine Murakami FHWA Office of Planning
