Has anyone else come across instances where there is a topology error between the 2010 Census TAZ boundaries and the 2010 Census Block boundaries? We have a few places around our MPO boundary where these don't match up like they're supposed to. I didn't know if anyone else may have had this issue.
Thank you,

CTPP will be doing hands on training in January and February in multiple locations on the West Coast. (SANDAG, SCAG, SLOCOG, MTC, SACOG, Redding/Shasta Area, ODOT - Salem and WADOT - Olympia)
There are currently open slots for the training in San Luis Obispo on January 23. If you are available and would like to register, please contact James Worthley JWorthley(a)slocog.org<mailto:JWorthley(a)slocog.org> off-list - and he will tell you how!
As slots open in the other locations I will notify the list. Most trainings are for a limited number of participants.
Census Transportation Planning Products Program (CTPP) Training is chiefly aimed at data users at the MPO and State. It is appropriate for consultants and students as well. This training is designed for anyone who is required to work on long range planning, congestion management, travel forecast, air quality analysis. Data users whose job requirements include being able to figure out who is going where and when will benefit from this training.
CTPP training is one full day, hands on, and computer lab based. Participants will engage in discussion, practice analytical skills through exercises, learn to navigate the NEW CTPP software for five-year CTPP, and leave with a better understanding of what transportation data are available and what are the avoidable pitfalls to using them.

For those of you who might be interested this is a great opportunity to present your work. It would be nice to have a strong transportation showing.
