Federal Highway and AASHTO through the Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP) program are offering two separate webinars for those who are interested to learn how to use the “new” CTPP access software system to pull data from the 2006-2010 CTPP data product. The webinars will be the same so please do not sign up for both. One will be offered Friday, June 6, 2014 and the other Thursday, June 26, 2014. Both will run from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern time. To get the most out of the webinar, attendees should visit the CTPP E-Learning modules at http://ctpp.training.transportation.org/  and familiarize themselves with the ACS and the CTPP.  This is a prerequisite.

In this webinar attendees will learn how to access the ACS Census Data tabulated under the CTPP program. The CTPP is a 5-year tabulation of ACS data (2006-2010) that is specially designed for transportation planning. Attendees will learn the structure of the data, how to extract selected tables and be exposed to functionality of the software designed to handle the data. Most importantly, attendees will learn where to get the data. Registration is mandatory.
