Perhaps Ed’s comment is only meant in reference to this tool, in which case, I would agree
with it. However, in a broader sense, while I agree that for the vast majority of
practical planning applications, MOEs/CVs are not used and in many cases that’s fine, it
might be better if we did use or at least consider them in some contexts. For example, if
CTPP flows are being used for validation of trip distribution or destination (work
location) choice models, it could be worth considering whether the modeled flows are
within a certain confidence interval, or for an ODME application, where CTPP flows are
used as part of a seed, the MOEs/CVs might be used to help inform min/max allowable
values/deviation from the seed (which most ODME methods allow and are good practice).
Again, this isn’t common practice, but perhaps it would be better if we moved in this
direction.

Thanks Mark for the changes. When I get the time I will write my missive on why it is
important to have flow data without any suppression and why MOEs/CVs do not matter for OD
pairs when it comes to transportation planning--unless others on this list want to comment
on it.
Great product Mark!

I added a couple of new things. Now, when you move the distance criteria down to 0, it
will include commuters that commute within the tract. The dot won't move (obviously),
but it will show and the numbers will be included in the totals. Thus, if you select
"ALL" for distance and "ALL" for CV you will get the full info for the
county. Performance may (by which I mean definitely WILL) suffer, but the numbers will be
there and the animation might be acceptable.
Also, it is not really visible at all, but if you place the cursor over the map and click
(not on a dot) and hold the mouse button for a full second, the map will enter a
"drag" mode that will let you click again and move it around. It is still a bit
clunky (and the dots disappear, making a bit harder to see where you wanted to move it.)
When you finish dragging the map, or if you move the cursor outside the map, the dots will
reappear.
Hope this helps. I might add a few more things. Any suggestions are welcome. Cheers.

Hi Penelope,
I have made some suggestions to Mark for how to make his commute flow tool show how all
the commuters can be accounted for. He has already made some changes and plans to make
some more. He has included an “ALL” button so that all lengths of commutes can be shown if
choose and not just up to 300 miles, and an “ALL” button for the CV (and not just
<100%). He said he would add the source of the data to the text and he may map the
intratract commutes as well since it is helpful to visualize all the within county
commutes. Do you know when the next set of tract to tract flow data will be available as
he is willing to update when available.
Thank you,
Ginger

Turns out internal (intra-tract) flows are not reported. This should account for nearly
all the missing workers.

They may only be mapping those flows that have enough records so there is not an imputed
or suppressed O-D pair, which would mean sometimes up to 50% of the records do not have
flows, so its missing half of the flows. Those show up as 0 workers due to suppression.

I would be cautious, just did a quick check, it says ACS, but unsourced as to what ACS
(I’m guessing 2009 – 2013 county to county flows – otherwise OD pairs are very tricky),
also looking at just Montgomery county and DC, and expanding the tool to its maximum range
(zero to 293 miles) it’s missing about half the total workers in each of those. Also,
tracts are referenced, but that set is not reported at tract. I welcome your thoughts.
