CTPP-News recipients: The Census Bureau is providing some half-day "census products" road shows over the next few months. The next meetings are scheduled for May 25th in Seattle and May 27th in Oakland. They are free. The agenda is tailored to the local audience. Subject matter for our 5/27 agenda in Oakland includes: census 2000 update; data products and dissemination plans; demonstration of the online American FactFinder Data Dissemination System; Geography and Geographic Products; and Census 2000 and the Bay Area. Future census bureau conferences are included on their web page at: http://www.census.gov/mso/www/confpage.html If your region isn't listed, you may want to negotiate with your census regional office to put something together. Ms. Cam McIntosh of the Seattle office does a great job for our census region, but I think her roadshows are just in Northern California / Nevada / Pacific Northwest. cheers, Chuck Purvis, MTC ******************************************************* e-mail: cpurvis(a)mtc.ca.gov Chuck Purvis, AICP Senior Transportation Planner/Analyst, Planning Section Metropolitan Transportation Commission 101 Eighth Street, Oakland, CA 94607-4700 (510) 464-7731 (voice) (510) 464-7848 (fax) WWW: http://www.mtc.ca.gov/ MTC DataMart: http://www.mtc.ca.gov/datamart/ MTC FTP Site: ftp://ftp.abag.ca.gov/pub/mtc/planning/ Personal WWW: http://home.earthlink.net/~clpurvis/ *******************************************************
