| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | All cities have been verified to be in the transit taxing district. | |||
| Logical Consistency | The dataset is topologically 'clean'. | |||
| Completeness | Entire seven county geographic area is covered. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Because this dataset is derived directly from the MetroGIS regional municipal boundary layer, it's positional accuracy is identical to that dataset. http://www.datafinder.org/metadata/county_ctu.htm | |||
| Lineage | This layer was created by relating a table of municipalities within the Transit Taxing District to the municipal boundary layer and dissolving the boundaries. | |||
