Has anyone had problems using the shape files or E00 files for TAZ
boundaries available on the Census website? We have noticed that some of our
TAZ boundaries look strange, as if there is a problem with collapsing
polygons. Do I need to create the TAZ boundaries myself from the TIGER
files? Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This may be of interest to others to see how we're providing census data within our region. This is a joint effort of the MPO and the COG for the Bay Area: MTC (the MPO) and ABAG (the COG).

The new and improved Bay Area Census website is being launched today by MTC and ABAG with a new look, new data, and a new web address (www.bayareacensus.ca.gov). The website is a portal to the world of Bay Area Census data, including SF1 and selected SF3 data at the state, regional, county and city levels, historical comparisons, GIS data, links to the many other sources for Census data and improved site navigation.
Take a look and let us know how you like it.

I started the thread about the TIP/STIP management application, and I want to put it to an end. I apologize for my poor judgement. The CTPP list serve is intended for CTPP and Census data matters. I included Elaine Marakami's message to the CTPP list serve about the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO) list serve. If anyone on this list serve wants to continue the discussion about the TIP/STIP application, please use the AMPO list serve instead. Details are below. Daryl Scott

Subject: [CTPP] MPO listserv?
For lack of another electronic forum, the CTPP listserv has become a place for people to discuss MPO issues unrelated to Census data. However, we would like to keep the CTPP listserv focused on CTPP and Census data.
Alex Taft, the Executive Director of the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO), has graciously offered to open up their listserv to non-members, since some non-members already belong. Information from AMPO follows:
" The list serve is also a vehicle for networking among AMPO members. If you are seeking advice from your peers or spreading information that will be useful to other MPOs, you can send a message directly to everyone on the list.
· If you wish to send your own message to subscribers of the list-serve, use the address: ampo(a)scpp.ubalt.edu. To send such a message, do not use the majordomo address that you used to subscribe to the list.
· If you are sending documents as part of your message to subscribers, it is preferable to cut-and-paste text directly into your e-mail; other subscribers may not have the appropriate program to download attachments.
· If you ever want to subscribe to this mailing list, send a request to majordomo(a)scpp.ubalt.edu and type the following command in the body of your message:
subscribe ampo
or from another account:
subscribe ampo <address name>
There is a confirmation step following this.
· If you want to know who has subscribed to the list, send a request to majordomo(a)scpp.ubalt.edu and type the following command in the body of your message:
who ampo
· If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, send a request to majordomo(a)scpp.ubalt.edu and type the following command in the body of your message:
unsubscribe ampo
or from another account:

Please contact DeLania Hardy at dhardy(a)ampo.org with any questions. And again, welcome to the AMPO list-serve."
