  1. Urbanized Area Boundaries: A Transportation Perspective and Introduction (June 11, 2010) • Topics • Urban Areas • MSAs • PUMAs • TAZs Ed Christopher Resource CenterPlanning Team Federal Highway Administration 4749 Lincoln Mall Dr. Rm 600 Matteson, IL 60443 708-283-3534 edc@EdtheFed.com

  2. Where are we with Urbanized Areas? Getting Closer 1. 2010 Census Completed 2. Criteria Finalized 3. Census Bureau does it 72% households mailed back forms 77% of 47 Million NRFU households visited

  3. Where are we with Urbanized Areas? http://2010.census.gov/2010census/take10map/

  4. Some Background Urban Areas Urbanized Areas (50,000+) circa 1950 Urban Clusters (2,500 to 49,999) circa 2000 http://rtc.ruralinstitute.umt.edu/

  5. Generalized Definition Urban Areas (2000) Composed of CORE census block groups or blocks that have a population density of at least 1,000 people/square mile and the surrounding census blocks that have an overall density of at least 500 people/square mile. Source: Census 2000

  6. Transportation Perspective (Census Defined) Urbanized Area (UZA) Federal-Aid (Adjusted) Urban[ized] Area (FAUA) Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) Non-Attainment Area

  7. Don’t Let Names Confuse You Federal-Aid (Adjusted) Urban[ized] Area (FAUA) Urban Area Boundary (UAB) Adjusted Urbanized Area (AUZA)

  8. Boundaries - the Important thing (Census Defined) Urbanized Area (UZA) - Population + $$$ Adjusted Urbanized Area (AUZA) - Functional Class Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) - MPO Jurisdiction Non-Attainment Area http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census/faqa2cdt.htm

  9. Why is the UA so Important? Census Defined Urbanized Area (UA) - Population + $$$ Sets Population count for Money to Identify MPOs / TMA What’s in – what’s not, but could be...

  10. Why is the AUZA so Important? Adjusted Urbanized Area (UZA) - Functional Class FEDERALY -- It’s Not so important, But it Was at one time Speed Limits Road Funding Data Reporting Functional Class Billboard Control ??? For States and MPOs it’s a whole Different Story

  11. Why is the MPA so Important? Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) - MPO Jurisdiction Sets MPO Area of Responsibility ~ for Planning ~ for Programming ~ Overall Governance

  12. Some Implications for Transportation • New / Retired MPOs • New / Retired TMAs • Expanded MPOs & TMA • Changed Roadway Classifications • Data Reporting and reports • Funding and Financial Issues • Outdoor Advertising Hinges on Transportation Bill http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census/faqa2cdt.htm

  13. What’s an MPO? A TMA? NARC- Status Quo AASHTO -Somewhat Vague FHWA - Internal House - T+I Committee, HR ____ Senate - 100K - Threshold Grandfathering 200K - Project Selection Authority 1 Million+ Special Funding and Requirements http://www.ampo.org/assets/685_finalampopdfoverviewappro.pdf

  14. Timing 2009 SAFETEA-LU expired ???? New Bill Expected (2011) 2010 Fed Register-Comments on UA criteria 2011 UAs Defined (Springtime) 2012 UAs Out (Springtime)

  15. Metropolitan Statistical Areas Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas, Metropolitan Divisions, Combined Statistical Areas When will new MSA be defined?

  16. Two Planning Related Geographies PUMAs TAZs / TADs

  17. PUMAs? -- What are they? Public Use Microdata Sample PUMSdata is based on individual census records and is available only at large geographic areas. Think of the PUMS dataset as the raw, disaggregate census sample data, at a large enough geographic level necessary to protect the confidentiality of the census respondent. Standard Tabs ACS Sample PUMS Records PUMAs are the zones used for PUMS data

  18. Chicago Why are PUMAs Important? NE Illinois (2008 pop estimate) Normal ACS Annual Data • Annual Data • 65K+ • Note the areas in gray • We call this Swiss Cheese

  19. Why are PUMAs Important? NE Illinois (PUMAs) PUMAs are a Tabulation Area for Annual ACS Data • Represent 100K • Complete Coverage • Smaller than Counties • NO Swiss Cheese

  20. How many PUMAs should this area have? City of Chicago 2000 PUMAs Why are PUMAs Important? - Defines areas for analysis - Tabulation Area for ACS Who Defines Them? - The Community - Led by State Data Center When are They Defined? - Summer 2011 -Criteria out Spring 2010??? 2,896,016 (2000 Pop) http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/puma5pct.htm

  21. What is the CTPP? CTPP is an umbrella program of data products, custom tabulations, training, technical assistance, and research for the transportation community. CTPP uses data from U.S. Census Bureau, including American Community Survey (ACS). Census Transportation Planning Products

  22. CTPP Program • lAll States + DC • lAASHTO Led • Oversight Board • Supported ~2012 Federal Technical Advisory Group TRB Subcommittee -- List Serve (830 strong) Quarterly Newsletter -- Outreach Several Websites (listed at end of presentation)
