2、 U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), the AASHTO Census Transportation Planning Products Program (CTPP) compiles census data on demographic characteristics, home and work locations, and journey- to-work travel flows to assist with a variety of state, regional, and local transportation polic
3、y and planning efforts. CTPP also supports corridor and project studies, environmental analyses, and emergency operations management. In 1990, 2000, and again in 2006, AASHTO partnered with all of the states on pooled-fund projects to sup- port the development of special census products and data tab
4、ulations for transportation. These census transpor- tation data packages have proved invaluable in understanding characteristics about where people live and work, their journey-to-work commuting patterns, and the modes they use for getting to work. In 2012, the CTPP was established as an ongoing tec
5、hnical service program of AASHTO. CTPP provides a number of primary services: Special Data Tabulation from the U.S. Census BureauCTPP oversees the specification, purchase, and delivery of this special tabulation designed by and for transportation planners. Outreach and TrainingThe CTPP team provides
6、 training on data and data issues in many formats, from live briefings and presentations to hands-on, full-day courses. The team has also created a number of electronic sources of training, from e-learning to recorded webinars to downloadable presentations. Technical SupportCTPP provides limited dir

ResearchCTPP staff and board members routinely generate problem statements to solicit research on data issues; additionally, C

12、brief is the fifth in a series describing commuting in America. This body of work, sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and carried out in conjunction with a National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) project that provided supporting
13、 data, builds on three prior Commut- ing in America documents that were issued over the past three decades. Unlike the prior reports that were single volumes, this effort consists of a series of briefs, each of which addresses a critical aspect of commuting in America. These briefs, taken together,
14、comprise a comprehensive summary of American commuting. The briefs are disseminated through the AASHTO website (traveltrends.transportation.org). Accompanying data tables and an Executive Summary complete the body of information known as Commuting in America 2013 (CIA 2013). Brief 5 describes the ch
15、anges taking place in employment patterns in the U.S. from the perspective of how this might influence commuting. This brief completes the information about the work force and employment presented in Briefs 3, 4, and 6. Jobs Versus Workers Brief 3 described workers as a component of the population a
16、nd provided a comprehensive overview of changes in the workforce as they relate to the demographic characteristics of the population. Brief 4 provided more detailed descriptive data covering the geographic location of workers. Not surprisingly, there is a strong inherent relationship between jobs an
17、d workersneither can exist without the other, at least not for any length of time. At the national level, aggregate disparities between jobs and workers can be explained by measures of vacant positions and unemployed workers. These measures do not add particular insight when trying to understand com
18、muting trends. However, at more detailed levels of geogra- phy, there can be significant variations between the nature and counts of jobs and counts of appropriately-credentialed workers, and these disparities can influence commuting patterns as workers travel to fill available positions. Brief 15 d
19、iscusses the flow of workers between geographies; this brief provides summary information on the location of jobs by geography. The geographic location of jobs is influenced by a host of considerations. The top factors include access to markets or customers for retail and service activities, access
20、to labor force, and access to materials/resources for jobs that involve working with physical commodities. The location of some employment types is constrained by the need to be in proximity to certain locations. For example, rapid growth in employment in energy extraction in North Dakota is driven
21、by and dependent on being in proximity to the states oil- and gas-bearing formations. Other jobs, such as healthcare, materialize in proximity to populations that 2014 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. All rights reserved.

In some situations, the growth of jobs (e.g., North Dakota energy extraction) attracts workers and, subsequently, generates more jobs to provide services to the growing population. In other case
23、s, the growth of population is associated with the appeal or ame- nities in a given area, which then creates new employment (e.g., retirees moving to mild Southern climates, creating service and healthcare jobs to serve that population).
