      <title>PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DECENNIAL CENSUS DATA FOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNING - INTRODUCTORY REMARKS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218139</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This conference has organized to share experience in the uses of the 1980 census data, and to make recommendations that will help the 1990 census be even more responsive to the needs of transportation planners.  The U.S. Department of Transportation has developed training materials to encourage the use of census data.  Metropolitan organizations (MPO) have found the data to be useful in three applications: to evaluate the transportation situation in 1980 and to help understand trends that extend from 1960 through 1980; to update, calibrate, and validate transportation prediction models; and to support constituent agencies with data that are necessary to guide their transportation policy decisions.  This report consists of 5 parts.  Part I provides the introduction.  Part II includes the papers presented at the 1st session of the conference which explores the expectations for the transportation and place-of-work data provided by the 1980 census.  Part III includes papers presented the second session which was based on first-hand experience in the use of the 1980 census data and the range of its applications.  The basic work of the conference was conducted in 6 workshops: Statewide transportation planning and coordination; Transportation planning in large metropolitan areas; Transportation planning in small metropolitan areas; Transit and traffic analysis; Private-sector applications in planning and marketing; and Travel research.  Part IV discloses the Census Bureau's plans for the 1990 census.  Part V discusses the need for and the nature of census products in the 1990 census.]]></description>

      <title>TRAVEL RESEARCH</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218138</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The workshop on travel research considered the use of census data in both fundamental research as well as research related to such aspects as policy analysis, model building, calibration, and forecasting.  It is noted that recent experience with the use of census data, particularly the 1980 data, has been favorable and the quality is viewed relatively good.  Issues and problems associated with currently available census data that indicate areas for improvement are listed and briefly discussed. Opportunities for the future are discussed.  Recommendations regarding the following are discussed in detail: questionnaire content; procedures and sample size; geographic coding; data products; comparability; and institutional and administrative concerns.]]></description>

      <title>PRIVATE-SECTOR APPLICATIONS IN PLANNING AND MARKETING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218137</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The key to creating more demand for the census data is in innovative manipulation of federal and local data files and in subsequent aggressive marketing.  This paper focuses on the marketing component.  Barriers to effective marketing that could be overcome in design and administration of the 1990 census are listed, and five major barriers that appear to be pervasive are discussed: institutional arrangements; timing; cost and budget; format; and data. In conclusion it is observed that local census centers now have pledgeling status and that their biggest challenge will be performance during the 1990 decennial census program.  It is felt that this conference offers an opportunity to focus on federal and local institutional arrangements and on program development plans for the local census centers.]]></description>

      <title>TRANSIT AND TRAFFIC ANALYSIS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218136</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This workshop focused on those planning areas that are more near-term in nature, including short-range planning, operations impacts, and alternatives analyses.  The workshop reviewed its findings for the 1980 UTPP (Urban Transportation Planning Package) and compared it with its expectations in the major areas of transportation planning. This paper presents a summary of the discussions in each of the following areas: updating urban and transportation planning data sets; model development, updating, and validation; rideshare data sets; special generator information; obtaining the work-trip file; transit market analysis; mode-of-access information; vehicle occupancy; residential and industrial development planning; and general observations.  Detailed recommendations are presented on questionnaire content, procedures and sample size, geographic coding, data products and comparability.]]></description>

      <title>TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IN SMALL METROPOLITAN AREAS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218135</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This workshop attempted to evaluate the utility and comprehensiveness of regular and special products of small metropolitan areas, with particular emphasis on the Urban Transportation Planning Package (UTPP).  The workshop also discussed possible changes in questionnaire content, survey design, geographic coding, products, and other aspects of the 1990 census that affect small urban area transportation planning.  Continuing and anticipated data needs were identified, and it was determined which of the critical needs are best met by the decennial census.  In small urban areas, the transportation community needs the census data to be coded to block-level geography.  Detailed recommendations are presented to the following areas: questionnaire content; procedures and sample size; and institutional and administrative concerns.]]></description>

      <title>TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IN LARGE METROPOLITAN AREAS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218134</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Initial discussions in this workshop focused on differing uses of the 1980 census data by the several metropolitan areas represented in the workshop.  Travel model development and revision was the most conventional purpose for which the data were used.  Of more interest were the following uses: analysis of central business district revitalization plans in Albuquerque; expansion of GBF/DIME file coverage and transit station area studies in Boston; subarea major employer studies in Chicago and Denver; ridesharing marketing program preparation in St. Louis, and data base preparation for an equal employment opportunity program in Washington.  The broader importance of this data to MPOs (Metropolitan Planning Organization) was also discussed. Creative summaries can reinforce the image of the MPO as a resource for useful information.  The publication of development area briefs using this data by Rice Center in Houston is mentioned.  Deficiencies, problems, and additional needs were also noted.  Detailed recommendations for changes are listed by subject areas: questionnaire content; procedures and sample size; geographic coding; data products; comparability; and institutional and administrative concerns.  Each recommendation is categorized according to the following priorities: imperative, important, or additional consideration.]]></description>

      <title>PANEL DISCUSSION: TRANSPORTATION ISSUES AND INFORMATION NEEDS IN THE 1990S</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218132</link>
      <description><![CDATA[It is observed that the problems that one will be faced with in the 1990s are going to be associated with social equity issues, tax impacts, and similar issues.  These users are often geographic users and can be dealt with better if the geographic framework is readily manipulated and displayed. The packaging of the geography is a critical issue.  It is hoped that the Census Bureau will develop an in-house screening capability which would allow prepackaging of material in a much more effective way. In marketing, the packaging of the daytime population will be crucial.  In the transportation sector, programming issues, and the equity and timing of the programming options will depend on the impact of the projects on the people who live and work there.  The 1990s will test the ability to describe the social and economic impacts in a more flexible and accurate way.]]></description>

      <title>USER EVALUATIONS OF THE URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PACKAGE: 1974 AND 1984 PERSPECTIVES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218125</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper documents the information received from the conference participants regarding the quality and use of the Urban Transportation Planning Package (UTPP) and compares these responses with similar information presented by Robert C. Stuart and Michael R. Hauck in The Census and Transportation Planning: Survey of Evaluations and Recommendations as to the Usefulness of the 1970 Census Data in Urban Transportation Planning.  The 25 participants who provided information at the conference represented both states and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs).  Of the MPOs, some were from small areas such as Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Large metropolitan areas were well represented by New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Dallas-Fort Worth. States were represented by Florida, Michigan, Arkansas, and Alabama.]]></description>

      <title>MONITORING NATIONWIDE TRENDS AND COMPARING METROPOLITAN AREAS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218124</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A study is described which was designed to produce a nationally comparable data set which will describe the important urban commuting trends using the census journey-to-work statistics.  The data is being used to compare changes over time and among metropolitan areas in geography, demographics and travel patterns.  The planned activities of the study are briefly described.  The first part of the study will assemble 1980 census data on commuting, providing current data on the socioeconomic characteristics of the population, distributional patterns of residences and work places, and commuting patterns. Comparable historical data will be assembled to describe the trends over the last 20 years.  Another part of the Study will be the preparation of a number of case studies in individual cities; these are needed to present a more detailed picture of trends that can be accomplished using only aggregated National Statistics.]]></description>

      <title>STATE DATA CENTERS: MEETING STATEWIDE DATA NEEDS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218123</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper covers both public and private applications of transportation-related census data by a statewide constituency of small agencies, firms and individuals in Pennsylvania.  The Pennsylvania State Data Center (PSDC) and its different services and products are described, as are also the large variety of data users and projects.  The paper also describes a survey designed to learn more about the needs of the transportation community.  The Survey which focused on the Urban Transportation Planning Package (UTPP), was sent to 561 transportation-related organizations throughout the country.  Unqualified success is reported for the PSDC in its mission of developing products and techniques to meet the data and information needs of a statewide constituency.]]></description>

      <title>TRANSIT PLANNING AND THE CENSUS: EXPERIENCE WITH 1980 AND LESSONS FOR 1990</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218120</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In an effort to generate suggestions for the 1990 census, the experience of the transit planning community is examined by breaking down the process of transit planning into a series of planning processes associated with public transportation.  Each of these areas, namely strategic planning, long-range regional planning, project or corridor planning, site or subarea planning, and operations or service planning, are defined by its technical content and reviewed with reference to the utility of census products for that particular type of planning.  The national experience in the varied types of planning is then synthesized into a series of recommendations for 1990.]]></description>

      <title>EVALUATION AND USE OF THE 1980 URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PACKAGE IN THE DELAWARE VALLEY REGION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/218119</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper discusses the experience of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) with emphasis on the journey-to-work information and other socioeconomic information useful to transportation planning.  Source specific problems with the 1980 UTPP are defined, the uses of data in several DVRPC planning projects are described, and some recommendations for improving the quality of the 1990 census data are offered.  The paper concludes that although the 1980 UTPP contains data of good quality, there are a few programming, statistical, and bias problems. Most of these problems were resolved before the DVRPC used the UTPP for trend analyses, information purposes, traffic simulation, highway and transit project studies, and strategic planning.  Most of the UTPP problems and errors can be avoided in the 1990 census by quality control edits and careful review of the census questionnaire, sample size, and computer programs for processing the information.]]></description>
