New subject: [CTPP] TAZ/TAD delineation

3 Mar 2011

The TAZ delineations are due back to the Census Bureau Geography
Division within 90 days AFTER you receive notification that the files
for your area are ready.  It is expected that MOST areas will get their
files from mid-March (after March 16) through April.

The User Guide will provide instructions on how to use the MTPS TAZ
software, and how to submit the files (via FTP) back to the Census
Bureau.  Unfortunately, the User Guide has not yet been approved for
release.

Hello:

Does anyone know the date that the TAZ delineations are due?

Does anyone know the agency that we are required to submit the TAZ
delineations?

Subject: [CTPP] TAZ delineation training session from February 25.

Hi Everyone - some of you are NOT involved in TAZ delineation, so you
can just DELETE this email! 

But, in case you are involved, and were not able to attend the webinars
that we held on 2/25 and 2/28, here is a link to the recorded session.  

http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/p11971019/
<http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/p11971019/> 

This session will be archived and posted on the AASHTO CTPP webpage TAZ
area:  http://ctpp.transportation.org/Pages/taz.aspx  in the near
future, as it will not live on the FHWA NHI site for very long. The
Census Bureau Geography Division expects the TAZ software to be final by
March 16, but the geographic files for all of the nation may not be
available at that time, which is why the term "rolling" release has been
used.    Since the Census Bureau Geography Division says that the 90-day
turn-around time is FIRM, you will need to start working on this ASAP!
But please note,  TAZ delineation is not mandatory for CTPP.  You can
use census tracts (default) or census block groups as your small
tabulation geography for CTPP.    

We will update the FAQs for TAZ delineation (currently posted on both
the AASHTO page and the FHWA page
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ctpp/tazfaq.htm  ) based on the questions and
answers from the sessions held on 2/25 and 2/28.  

If you are interested in using 2010 Census Block Equivalency Files as a
starting point, the instructions are posted on the FHWA page:
