Subject: [CTPP] Status of TAZ-UP and TIGER

...
 Here are the states for which we have not yet received
TIGER files from the
Census Bureau.
AK, DC, IL, IN, KY, MD, MI, NC, OH, SC, TN, VA, WV, and WI

If your state is on this list,  we have not sent you a TAZ-UP package yet.

Although the intent was to give you SIX months to complete the work, because
...
 the Census Bureau has been delayed, I have to tell you
that the "drop dead"
date is October 1 for submission to the Census Bureau.  However, I hope that
...
 everyone aims for Labor Day.

We will add a "frequently asked questions for TAZ-UP" either to the CTPP
website, or to the EDS website.  By the way, for those of you who haven't
printed out the TAZ-UP user manual (from the CD), the 1-800 number for EDS is
...
 1-800-337-2004.  Other important phone numbers are on
page 1-7.

Recent queries--
1.  What if I want some of my new TAZs to match Census 2000 tract boundaries?
...
 The Census 2000 tract boundaries are not included on
the TIGER/Line 98 file.
...
 You will have to contact your Census Bureau Regional
Office to get the most
current information on 2000 tract boundaries.  Contact information is under
"References" in the User Manual.

2.  When I check my 1990 TAZs, why do I have so many "invalid" segments for
TAZ definition in water polygons?
Dave Aultman from the Census Bureau is going to address this question, and
most of those segments will be VALID for the TAZ program.

Elaine,

I am the Tech Director at the Steubenville-Weirton, OH-WV MPO and I am
curious when we will receive the TAZ-Update program for our use.  Respond
when this will be possible.  Thank you very much.
