The presentations are also there for you to download.
Please plan to attend the CTPP Oversight Board Webinar on Small Geography Data Reporting
April 3, 2018, 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM, Eastern Time
In January, 2018 the CTPP Oversight Board officially announced that data sets following
the 2012-2016 data set expected in 2019 will not contain small geography at the
Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) and Transportation Analysis District (TAD) levels. We
are adopting the standard Census Block Group for future data tabulations. To support the
creation of Block Groups that are useful for transportation planning the Board is
recommending that the transportation community review and comment on the current Federal
Register’s notice on criteria for 2020 Census geography (linked below), and to participate
in the 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP).
To help the transportation community prepare for this change, CTPP will host a webinar on
Tuesday, April 3, 2018. The webinar will include overviews of the Board’s policy, the
Census criteria and PSAP programs, and how one agency will be involved with PSAP and what
that means to MPOs and states. The presentations will be followed with time for
Q&A.
