Thanks everyone. I also was having trouble through the html site, but the ftp direct link
works great. We only had a copy of what was submitted, so I wanted to be sure we had an
official version. There are some differences, so glad to have it!
Thanks, Natasha.

Natasha/Kevin,
Responding to Kevin’s point, I just looked (for my own curiosity), and
didn’t find the TAZs. I would check with Shonin Anacker (copied on this message) at U.S.
Census Bureau on this. Here’s his contact information:

Shonin was the point of contact for me when my organization was working on
developing our region’s CTPP TAZs back in 2011, and he was a really good resource. Just
to re-state the obvious, the 2011 program was a voluntary submission to Census, allowing
local jurisdictions (i.e., MPOs) to suggest what zone structure to use for compiling the
CTPP using the ACS.
As I understand it, if a region decided not to participate, then Census Bureau went with
what best fit their needs, starting with the pre-existing zone structure they had on file.
So, there may not be “updates” for all regions.
I wonder if Natasha’s request isn’t jumping the gun a bit. According to the CTPP website
(http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/ctpp/), the CTPP based on the 2006-2010
ACS dataset isn’t scheduled to be released until May 2013.

Have you looked for it as a downloadable .shp layer from Census TIGER website?
