Re: [CTPP] Question about dissemination of CTPP data

FYI - Here are some of the FAQs posted on the page. Who will get the CTPP? The CTPP will be initially distributed by the Census Bureau and USDOT to all S tate Departments of Transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organizations. Su bsequent distribution will be managed by the Bureau of Transportation Statisti cs. Will the Data be Available on CDs or DVDs? The CTPP will be produced and distributed along with the CTPP Access Tool Soft ware on CDs. Eventually there may be a demand to produce a national-level CTPP DVD. Will the CTPP Data be on American Factfinder? No, there are no immediate plans to put CTPP data on American Factfinder. How much will the CTPP cost? The CTPP is a pooled-fund product sponsored by the State Departments of Transp ortation through the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). It is already paid for. Subsequent costs for reproducing C Ds to distribute to data users will be borne by the US Department of Transport ation. Deanna and others. On the TRB census subcommittee "new look" web page http://www.TRBcensus.com/ these questions are addressed in the "FAQs about the CTPP". The FAQs can be found on the main page under the "Whats New" heading.

I'm the DOT contact for Minnesota, so I kn ow it will be coming to me in some way, but will others outside of the DOT or MPOs be able to access and analyze the data independently, without going throu gh me or an MPO? For example, people at a University who might be interested?
