CONVERTING CENSUS JOURNEY-TO-WORK DATA TO MPO TRIP DATA

Data summaries from the 1980 Census will show estimates that are low when compared to Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) trip data for Transit usage and Average car occupancies. Any MPO planning to use the 1980 Census data to calibrate or validate transportation simulation models should be aware of this discrepancy. This presumption is based on a study conducted by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments/Transportation Planning Board (COG/TPB), using the 1977 Travel-to-Work Supplement to the U. S. Bureau of the Census Annual Housing Survey.
