PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DECENNIAL CENSUS DATA FOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNING - INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
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.
