The 1970-census UTPP represents a minimum common data set intended to be useful to urban transportation planning studies for continuing planning purposes. The UTPP provides a useful supplemental base data source to aid studies in routine review of changing socio-economic and travel conditions. This paper discusses the following two main issues: (1) how and where the UTPP can be applied in the continuing urban transportation planning process; and (2) how the data can be used for transportation model development.
