[CTPP] TAZ-UP Counties

To all MPO and State DOT contacts: For those of you who have responded to my query about which counties you are planing to create TAZs for, I appreciate your swift response. For the rest of you, I still need the information. If you need the email again, let me know. Otherwise just send me the counties you are planning to include in your TAZ plan, indicating whether you are intending to do the full or partial county. I would appreciate responses by Thursday, August 12. Keep in mind the entire county does need to be covered, be that by you, another MPO, or by the state DOT. I would also like to know if some agency other than you is submitting your TAZ plan. There are a few things to think about when working on you TAZ plans. It is due October 1, 1999. The Place/Municipal boundaries in TAZ-UP are from 1990 but they are not all still valid boundaries. If they are on a road or rail line then they are fine to use, but if they are a non-visible feature then you may not use them for your 2000 TAZs. If you have any questions about this, call the CTPP hotline at 202 366 5000. I can be reached via phone at 301 457 2454, also by fax at 301 457 2481 through email at clara.a.reschovsky(a)ccmail.census.gov Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Clara Reschovsky
