To CTPP contacts: Tom Mank has taken a new job in New Hampshire and is no longer working on CTPP. We will have a replacement soon. In the meantime, Jerry Everett and I (Elaine Murakami) are handling the work. We are running a little behind on the production and distribution of TAZ-UP. We expect that we will start shipping packages around March 12. (Both Jerry and Elaine will be at the Boston Transportation Planning Applications conference from March 7-11). Because the Census Bureau does not yet have a complete set of TIGER, the shipping of TAZ-UP will flow as the delivery of the TIGER files to us. TAZ-UP REQUIRES the use of TIGER/Line 98. However, if you already have a shape file with your TAZs defined with another geographic BASE, you can bring in the file as a reference to help you define the TAZ using TIGER/Line 98. We are trying to set up a ONE phone number for CTPP and will let you know the number as soon as possible. ( The number is 202-366-5000 as of 3/5/99) Thanks for your patience. Hope to see you in Boston. Elaine my phone is 202-366-6971
