1
00:00:01.400 --> 00:00:04.049
This episode focuses on journey-to-work data.

2
00:00:04.049 --> 00:00:11.762
Census data becomes useful when the population, measure, geography, and time period are stated before anyone searches for a number.

3
00:00:11.762 --> 00:00:20.860
ACS journey-to-work measures generally describe workers age sixteen and over who were employed and at work, not every resident and not every trip.

4
00:00:20.860 --> 00:00:26.094
Read the universe before interpreting mode, time, departure, or workplace geography.

5
00:00:26.094 --> 00:00:31.859
Means of transportation reflects the usual mode during the reference week under survey definitions.

6
00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:37.566
Travel time is not congestion by itself, and working from home changes both numerator and context.

7
00:00:37.566 --> 00:00:42.277
Residence-based commuting data answers where workers who live in an area travel.

8
00:00:42.277 --> 00:00:45.516
Workplace and flow products answer different questions.

9
00:00:45.516 --> 00:00:49.344
None directly predicts trips generated by a proposed development.

10
00:00:49.344 --> 00:00:50.903
Torrance application segment.

11
00:00:50.903 --> 00:00:54.720
This local application is separate from the Census Academy instruction.

12
00:00:54.720 --> 00:01:10.420
The cited City of Torrance primary source is Transportation Analysis Requirements for Private Development, published at https://www.torranceca.gov/Government/Departments-Offices/Departments-Offices/Public-Works/Traffic-Engineering/Transportation-Analysis-Requirements-for-Private-Development.

13
00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:18.538
For a local analysis, use ACS commuting data only as background and follow the City's separate VMT and circulation-analysis requirements for a project.

14
00:01:18.538 --> 00:01:26.119
Do not present City policy or administrative records as Census Bureau findings, and do not present a federal estimate as adopted City policy.

15
00:01:26.119 --> 00:01:35.467
Keep a reproducibility packet containing the question, source URLs, exact vintage, table or query, geography codes, raw result, calculations, and uncertainty note.

16
00:01:35.467 --> 00:01:38.506
This narration is an original synthesis of cited U.S.

17
00:01:38.506 --> 00:01:42.979
Census Bureau government works and separately cited City of Torrance material.

18
00:01:42.979 --> 00:01:46.993
Third-party videos, software, graphics, and linked works are excluded.

19
00:01:46.993 --> 00:01:52.613
