THE CENSUS AND TRANSPORTATION PLANNING: SURVEY OF EVALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO THE USEFULNESS OF THE 1970 CENSUS DATA IN URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
The purpose of the project is to evaluate the usefulness of 1970 Census data for urban transportation planning with special emphasis placed on evaluating the 1970 Urban Transportation Planning Package. The project seeks to: (1) Identify urban transportation planning-related data from the 1970 Census; (2) evaluate the uses of those data in urban transportation planning; (3) identify user problems; (4) identify alternative sources of these data products; and (5) develop a series of recommendations for the 1980 Census. Personal and telephone interviews with ten state, and twenty-five substate regional agencies and three university and private consultants were used to generate the desired information. The experiences and opinions of the interviewees were compiled and summarized into a series of recommendations for the 1980 Census.
