Abstract:

This report gives the preliminary results of a study conducted in Albuquerque to verify the reliability of the data from the 1970-census Urban Transportation Planning Package (UTPP) and to test and evaluate their practical usefulness in an actual transportation planning program. The study was conducted prior to the official release of the UTPP to other metropolitan areas in the anticipation that results of the Albuquerque study would be of general benefit to all transportation planning staffs attempting to use the census data. Phase 1 of the study was a test of the validity of the UTPP data and of the techniques used in assigning them to traffic subzones. This phase was specifically an evaluation of the data contained in the zone-of-residence table. Phase 2 incorporated the UTPP data into the transportation planning process. In this phase, the zone-of-work data and home-to-work trip table were evaluated.
