MAF/TIGER Enhancement Program Goals
• Align t=

MAF/TIGER databases with GIS files maintained by state, local, and
tribal partners, other federal agencies and private sector firms=
allow
the Census Bureau to implement more programs in a digital file based forma=
t,
rather than a paper-based format.
• Improve=
the
spatial accuracy of the TIGER database thus enabling Census Bureau field staff using GPS
equipped hand-held devices to implement more accurate field data
collection methods.
• Support=
the
Administration’s Geospatial One-Stop E-government initiatives<=
