Registered TransCAD users in the United States can download the latest CTPP 5-Year 2006-2010 tabulations of tract-level journey-to-work data.
Because the TAZ flow data omit flows to TAZs that do not have resident populations (e.g., TAZs that contain only businesses, industry, etc.), a significant number of journey-to-work data are omitted. Because of this incompleteness in the TAZ level data, Caliper is instead offering two TransCAD matrices with nationwide Census Tract flows. Caliper expects to make the TAZ to TAZ flow data available as soon as it is corrected by the Census Bureau.
The CTPP Tract-Tract Small matrix showing the distribution of
single-driver trips among Louisville area Census
tracts is shown along with a TransCAD map with desire lines
showing the flow from tracts to the CBD tract. A
color theme on the tracts also shows the number of single-driver
trips to the CBD originating within each tract.
The first, CTPP3 Tract-Tract Means7.mtx, has the sample estimate and margin of error fields for the journey to work with seven means of transportation, including total workers:
