RE: [CTPP] Aggregating Census TAZs

I think Tom Krenzke means Census TAZs for "your region", not the nation. Tom is looking for several examples to use for testing disclosure proofing algorithms at the U.S. Census Bureau. This is part of NCHRP Project 08-79 on "Producing Transportation Data Products from the American Community Survey that Comply with Disclosure Rules." Any help is appreciated. Thank you...

Or do you have an algorithm that combines TAZs? If you do, would you have a correspondence file to share with us, and the purpose for which this aggregation was made? Thanks, --Tom Krenzke Westat
