Census Data for Transportation Planning

Preparing for the Future

May 11-13, 2005
Conference CD

In May 2005 about 100 transportation planning professionals met to discuss their use of Census data; review current plans for the ACS, ACS related research and future transportation data needs; and to recommend actions to improve the use of current census products. Presented on this CD are the presentations, resource papers and other materials presented at the conference. A MAJOR highlight of the conference which spurred the development of this CD was the presentation of 20 posters focusing on the use of census data products.
