Do you have the scripts completed. We are also working on the our UA. We are trying to do
it by hand. We have the impervious data completed, but it gets complicated when you get to
the Hops and Jumps.

Subject: [CTPP] 2010 Census UA Criteria
Texas Transportation Institute: Transit Mobility Program has been applying the Census 2010
UA Criteria released on August 24, 2011. We have been assisting the TxDOT Public
Transportation Division in their efforts to anticipate the impacts of UA and UC changes.
A co-worker and I have been conducting analysis on specific urban clusters/areas as per
TxDOT's needs for anticipating the impact of changes on transit formula funding. I
have spoken with some contacts within the Census Geography Department and am confident I
have a good grasp of data sources and interpretation of the criteria. However, the
analysis we have done has not been via a script or code in GIS. We have been manually
applying certain steps of the criteria, such as the changes relating to impervious
surface, to augment some recent statewide research we had already completed (we projected
2010 UAs several years ago). I think that Martin Catala at CUTR may have a student now
working on a script and code for the criteria. Anyone interested may contact me to discuss
TTI's process and findings.
