Access to NCTCOG Data

Published by been on November 2, 2012 under Uncategorized

As of October 2012, NCTCOG (North Central Texas Council of Governments) converted the data previously freely accessible via their GIS Clearinghouse to a fee-based CDP (Cooperative Data Program).  The Library and various departments on campus are working with NCTCOG to regain access to this data ASAP.  Please contact Joshua Been, GIS Librarian (been@uta.edu) with questions or comments.

We have begun uploading previously archived NCTCOG files here: https://mavspace.uta.edu/departments/gis/NCTCOG%20Archived%20Data/ (UT Arlington NetID required)

Below is a table highlighting alternative sources for data previously available via their Clearinghouse:
