Hi, all Bruce Spear Cambridge Systematics will talk about using LODES (commonly known as LEHD data) for transportation planning. This talk features findings from a recently completed work of NCHRP 08-36 Task 98: Improving employment Data for Transportation Planning. Please read the email below for details. "The U.S. Census Bureau and Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership Steering Committee are pleased to invite you to attend the next of our monthly webinar series - Use of LODES Data in Transportation Planning: Some Comparative Findings. Our presenter will be Bruce Spear, Senior Associate at Cambridge Systematics, who will be following up on the presentation on this same topic that he gave at the 2012 LED Workshop in March. This webinar is recommended for users at all experience levels. This presentation provides findings from the recently completed National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) project that investigated alternative sources of employment data for use in transportation planning. The presentation discusses the current strengths and weaknesses of LODES (LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics) as a source of workplace location and home-to-work flow data, and compares LODES with the CTPP (Census Transportation Planning Products) data in terms of coverage, completeness and accuracy.
