MAF/TIGER Partnership Software

The purpose of the "MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS) is to provide partnership program participants with a GIS application that has customized functionality required by each of the following Census Bureau geographic partnership programs: LUCA, Participant Statistical Areas Program, Boundary and Annexation Survey, School District Review Program, Redistricting Data Program (Phase 2), and the New Construction Program. Ease of use was our top priority in the design of this application. A participant with a stand-alone personal computer utilizing a Windows 2000 operating system (the minimal operating system required), 128 MB of RAM, 10 GB of free hard drive space, CD or DVD ROM with read/write capability, Adobe® Flash Player, and/or limited or no GIS experience could use this application. Internet access is not required.
