[CTPP] Workplace Update CDs Now Shipping

The first Workplace Update CDs shipped yesterday via overnight carrier from ESRI headquartes in Redlands, CA. Disc 1 contains the Work-UP software extension to ArcView, Tiger/Line Shape files, and geocoded and ungeocoded employer files for counties in the six New England states. Copies of the other 29 CDs will follow in the next 2 weeks. The attached Excel 4.0 worksheet file shows how the states are bundled on the CDs. We are shipping each agency the CDs they will need to review their area. NOTE: Geography Division here at Census has agreed to continue to accept Work-UP files until May 31, 2000. It will help our processing schedule if agencies can return the files by the end of April, but we will continue to accept them through May. We will not accept any files after May 31. We have created a link on the TRB Subcommttee web site to copies of the Work-UP User Guide, if you would like to get an advance look at the application before your discs arrive. It is available in Adobe Acrobat PDF format and as a MS-Word 97 document. Contact Nanda Srinivasan at FHWA (202) 366-5000 or at nanda.srinivasan(a)fhwa.dot.gov if you need a different format. The TRB Subcommittee on Census Data for Transportation Planning web site is at http://www.mcs.com/~berwyned/census/. The direct link to the Work-UP page is http://www.mcs.com/~berwyned/census/workup.
