A little context on the email below:

This TAZ Delineation business rules for 5-year ACS data CTPP (which will be called the TAZ Customer Software Requirements in its next incarnation) were developed jointly by CB and a subcommittee of the CTPP Oversight Board led by Guy Rousseau. The version attached is an interim version – the first version being an outline, the final version being a formal memo. What we are seeking here is to share this for your information and feedback.

From the Document:

“In support of the Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP) the U.S. DOT and the U.S. Census Bureau will obtain census 2010 block equivalencies for Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) from Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and State Departments of Transportation in 2011. The 2010 TAZ geography will then be added to the Census Bureau’s TIGER file and these equivalency files will be used by the ACSO for the CTPP 5-year tabulation (2006 through 2010 ACS records).”

I look forward to your input

It's just as bad to not make a plan as to blindly follow the one you already have.

Subject: [CTPP] Memo to Census Bureau regarding delineation business rules

Hi All,

The Census Bureau asked us to refine this document to help them with their software development effort. There was a three step process and this is step two. Step three will be the formal version of the attached memo, due to Census Bureau in early 2010. At this time we are seeking input on this memo for the formal version. Please reply directly to me with your comments.
