Working extensively with the Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP), JHK & Associates, under contract to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), developed and taught the Census Applications Workshops in 1991. The goals of the workshops were to inform transportation professionals about the availability and applications of the CTPP data and to provide hands-on experience with the data. The workshops were conducted in over 30 cities throughout the country with an average of 30 participants in each (about 900 transportation professionals attended). The workshops are no longer being conducted; however, a CTPP Handbook is available from FHWA that documents the topics covered and includes the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet templates that participants used. A brochure and a video oriented toward managers and nontechnical staff that provide an overview of the CTPP and its uses are also available from FHWA. Because interest in the workshops continues to be strong, FHWA and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics have contracted with JHK to offer CTPP Urban Element technical assistance. Also detailed are other uses by the firm of census data, including the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) File.
