Title
Transportation Analysis Zones (Official TAZ System w/3,030 Zones) with Current Forecasts [Minnesota]
Description
This file shows the most current Metropolitan Council Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) 2020-2040 forecasts for cities and townships within the 7-County Metropolitan Area. The TAZ system in this shapefile is the most recent, official TAZ system (with 3,030 zones). This shapefile title has been renamed; the previous name was Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZ) 2010 with Current Forecasts Note: Forecasts for the older TAZ system with 1,566 zones are available in theTransportation Analysis Zones (Legacy TAZ System w/1,566 Zones) with Current Forecasts shapefile. IMPORTANT NOTES: These TAZ forecasts will change multiple times over the next few years. The Metropolitan Council will ask cities and townships to allocate their TAZ forecasts as part of their 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update (go to http://www.metrocouncil.org/Handbook/Plan-Elements/Transportation.aspx for more information about this process). Communities may also revise their current TAZ forecasts before the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update. In the meantime, the Council provides these Current TAZ forecasts for transportation planning. If you are using TAZ forecasts for analysis and/or transportation planning, please download the latest version of this shapefile to ensure you are using the most up-to-date data. If you represent a community that wants to revise your TAZ forecasts, please contact your community's sector representative or Dennis Farmer (see contact information at the end of this document)., TAZ forecasts will be updated periodically as cities and townships review and comment on the TAZ forecasts, or as new data becomes available. The Council will ask all cities to review their TAZ forecasts as part of their Comprehensive Plan Update in 2018. Household/population data is based on 2010 US decennial Census. 2014 houshold and population estimates are based on the Council's building permit data.
