Description:
Abstract:
This data is a graphical representation of Metropolitan Planning Organizations in New Jersey. A metropolitan planning organization (MPO) is a federally mandated and federally funded transportation policy-making organization in the United States that is made up of representatives from local government and governmental transportation authorities.
Purpose:
To illustrate and provide information on Metropolitan Planning Organizations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The ACRES and SQ_MILES fields were recalculated based on SHAPE_AREA. In addition, POPDEN2000, POPDEN1990, and POPDEN1980 were recalculated based on the updated number of square miles in the SQ_MILES field. Attributes for Geographical Naming Information System (GNIS) codes and names were thoroughly reviewed in collaboration with Bureau of Geographic Names - US Geological Survey and US Census Bureau representatives. No formal accuracy testing was performed to qualify or validate attribute data. All other attribute information was carried over from the most current NJDEP county boundaries (stco) layer and is assumed correct.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Counties were aggregated from the NJOIT-OGIS Municipalities of New Jersey (nj_munis) data set using the DISSOLVE command in ArcGIS ArcInfo 9.2.
Completeness_Report: Complete
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal positional accuracy used to generate county boundaries varies by source data used to create the NJOIT-OGIS Municipalities of New Jersey (nj_munis) data set, from which county boundaries were originally derived. No formal horizontal positional accuracy testing was performed to qualify or validate these data. Data were visually inspected.
