Re: [CTPP] Distance travveled to work

What Alex said… The ACS asks about minutes on the way to work. LODES provides the block ID of home and work; I use the GEODIST function in SAS to calculate the “straight line” distance. (There are more cross-country super long distance commutes in LODES than in ACS. So for public presentations, I exclude the OD pairs with distances over 50 miles -- as in example below) [image011] [EMAILLOGO.png] Todd Graham Principal Forecaster | Metropolitan Council | Regional Policy and Research todd.graham(a)metc.state.mn.us P. 651.602.1322 | F. 651.602.1674 390 North Robert Street | St. Paul, MN 55101 | metrocouncil.org/data<http://www.metrocouncil.org/data> [ConWUs][FaceBook_32x32]<http://www.facebook.com/MetropolitanCouncil>[… [EmailSU] <https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MNORGMETC/subscribers/new?preferences=true> From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Alex Karner Sent: Friday, December 02, 2016 1:21 PM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: Re: [CTPP] Distance travveled to work ACS has commute time but not distance. With CTPP you can use OD flows to calculate distance using network approaches or assuming straight lines. No way to get distance directly as far as I know. -Alex -- Alex Karner, PhD Assistant Professor School of City & Regional Planning Georgia Institute of Technology alexkarner.com<http://www.alexkarner.com/> On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 2:07 PM, Mara Kaminowitz <mkaminowitz@baltometro.org<mailto:mkaminowitz@baltometro.org>> wrote: Hello, Is there a table in ACS or CTPP that gives the distance traveled to work?
