  This handbook is designed for technical staff as an instructional guide to the 1990 Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP) and its potential uses. the CTPP contains 1990 social and economic data by place of residence, place of work, and journey to work, at various pevels of detail and geography. The CTPP is the largest national sample of commuter travel characteristics, and is available for each state and metropolitan area in the U.S. This handbook gives users an overview of the CTPP, and includes discussions of basic Census definitions and CTPP organization into tables and parts. Users are also oriented in: preparing to use the CTPP for analysis; potential for applying the CTPP to transportation planning; conducting reasonableness checks of the data; using the CTPP in travel demand forecasting; and accessing CTPP tables and technical assistance. Self instructional case studies are also included which make use of simple spreadsheets and provide hands-on experience with concepts and potential uses of the CTPP data.
