This webinar will review AASHTO’s Census Transportation Planning Products Program, which is a state department of transportation-funded program that produces special tabulations of American Community Survey data specifically for transportation planning, analysis, and strategic direction.
The webinar’s presenters will also discuss an upcoming “equity module” that is currently under development and detail a case study on how the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission is using a similar application made in-house to analyze environmental justice issues.
Registration and additional information can be found here.
