21
What is the CTPP 2000?
The Census Transportation Planning Package is a set of special
tabulations from the long form of the decennial census designed by
transportation planners for transportation planners
It summarizes the data
At ResidenceAt Workplace
Flows between Home and Work
22
Long Form
Where does the data come from?
23
For the U.S. as a whole,about one (1) in six (6) households received the Long Form questionnaire
Who got the Long Form?
17%
24
Key Long Form questions
Place of Work
Means of Transportation to Work
Carpool Occupancy to Work
Departure Time for Work
Travel Time to Work

ACS Standard Tables
Standard Tabs include some “New” tables previously only in CTPP, eg place of work
- Mode to work by travel time
- Mode to work by time leaving home
- Household size by no of vehicles
- Household size by no of workers

Is it 1 or 3 or 5?

Population >= 20,000 and < 65,0003-year estimates5-year estimates
Population >= 65,0001-year estimates3-year estimates5-year estimates
Users will have to choose which data to use
What does this mean?
48
Sample Error is larger because the number of census forms collected each year are smaller.
Changes of plus or minus 2% may be due to Sample Error and do not reflect measurable change.

Census Transportation
Planning Products
The CTPP embodies a collection of Census Data used for Transportation Planning. With changing data needs and the ACS, there will be a variety of different products useful for transportation planning emanating from Census Data. There will be Special Tabulations, Standard Tables and even Value Added-products. The CTPP captures all of these.
Think of CTPP as a place to look for Census Data products to help with your Transportation needs
Enter the ACS era…

Data ChangesThe American Community Survey (ACS) replaced the Long Form. It is the ACS where we get all the data used for transportation planning
CTPP DevelopmentsCTPP--Stands for Census Transportation Planning Products and there is a whole group of people looking out for the best interest of the transportation community
Potential Changes Due to 2010 CensusIn April of 2010 there will be population count (Census). Results will be out at the end of the year and congressional seats will change
