Introduction
This document summarizes the use and applications of census data in transportation planning and related activities from May 2005 to May 2011. Published papers, presentations, and monographs that cited the use of the Decennial Census or data from the American Community Survey were searched using the Transport Research International Documentation (TRID). TRID is a newly integrated database that combines the records from TRB's Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) Database and the OECD's Joint Transport Research Centre's International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) Database. http://trid.trb.org/
The search terms used were "Census", "Transportation" OR "American Community Survey." A large number of results (above 500) were obtained. The resulting abstracts were examined to select papers/presentations that are most relevant to the conference. Each paper was grouped under the following 11 categories, in line with the sessions planned for the conference.
- Data Evaluation and Enhancement
- Descriptive Analysis
- Energy/Air Quality
- Environmental Justice
- Housing location
- Modeling and Forecasting
- Non-Motorized Travel
- Population Dynamics
- Transit
- Travel Behavior
- Other
A one-page description of each citation, including the title, authors, publication date, abstract, search and index terms, and availability are shown.
