I know that today (March 26) was a busy day for many of you because of the CB release of the urbanized area list. But, while you are thinking about the Census Bureau, don’t forget to submit your comments regarding ACS through their website.      A little bird told me that the Census Bureau expected more traffic on this site, and they didn’t know if people were waiting until the deadline, or if no one cared.  OF COURSE WE (the transportation data community) CARE! 

There are 4 areas to which they are asking for comment:

1. data products

2. survey methodology

3.research and evaluation

4. communication

AASHTO will be submitting a consolidated response via the CTPP Oversight Board, so you can give your feedback to Penelope Weinberger pweinberger@aashto.org   I have not seen a draft from AASHTO yet, so I can’t tell if YOUR topic of interest will be included or not. 

I am sure the CB will not be surprised about negative feedback about AFF. J
