----------------------------------------------------------------------
I talked to our representative from NTD regarding which urbanized area number to use in
the NTD reporting screen. He said that NTD determines the UZA population to be used for
the transit reporting agency and that we don't determine that or input that data. He
also said that the UZA numbers to be used by NTD will be available this fall sometime,
around August or September.

beginning of an email from NTD regarding transit operators and 2010 urbanized areas:
As most of you already know, the US Census Bureau has recently announced a new set of
Urbanized Areas based on the results of the 2010 Decennial Census. Additionally, FTA is
required by law to use these new Urbanized Areas for the Fiscal Year 2013 Apportionment,
which will be based on NTD Report Year 2011 Data. We are expecting that the Census Bureau
will very soon be releasing the final Urbanized Area Boundary maps from the 2010 Census.
This e-mail is to provide you with additional information on how that process will work.
Upon release the Census Boundary maps for the 2010 Census, each of you must identify which
Urbanized Area (UZA) or Areas are served by your transit system. In addition, you will
need to identify whether your transit systems services any rural or non-urbanized areas.
An area is served by your transit system if you pick up passengers in that area. (Note:
Some demand response systems allow passengers to travel to a particular location, but do
not allow trip originations in that area. In this case, do not list these destinations as
?served? by your transit system.) Please note that you must identify all areas served by
your system, regardless of whether or not you plan to allocate service data to those
areas.
Is this the same as the already released Census urbanized areas (what is new from what has
already been released?)? Can we submit our Federal Aid Adjusted Urban Area instead?
Or just stick to a Census define boundary of urbanized.
Thanks

On March 27, 2012 the Census Bureau released the list of new Urbanized
Areas and Urban Clusters.? For transportation related activities these
boundaries have broad and far reaching affects.? Recognizing that it

Transit Administration, Census Bureau and others will conduct a 2-hour
webinar on Boundary Issues and Transportation.
Participants in the webinar can expect to learn about the various
Transportation related boundaries, where and how they interact with
the federal programs and the steps that state and local agencies need
to take to address the boundary related requirements.? Time will be
allowed for questions and discussion, and additional resources will
also be made available for downloading.
If you are interested in boundaries from a transportation perspective,
have a particular question or need to learn about them, this webinar is for you.
To make sure your questions get addressed you can send it send them to
ed.christopher(a)dot.gov up to the close of business the day before the
before the webinar, otherwise they will be handled on a first come
basis during the webinar.
Space for the webinar is currently limited to 350 connections and
registration is mandatory, but free.? Folks who can share one
connection in a conference room setting are encouraged to do so.? The
webinar will be recorded with closed captioning.? Questions discussed
during the webinar will be used to update the Frequently Asked
Questions that FHWA maintains on the subject.? The FAQ can be found at
