    Attribute Accuracy:
      Attribute Accuracy Report: none
    Logical Consistency Report: Maintenance Areas were created by copying the region boundaries and then further breaking them up into Areas. Topology was checked to ensure continuity and adjacency.
    Completeness Report: The data represents the Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance areas.
    Positional Accuracy:
      Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
        Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Positional accuracy has not been determined.

        Process Description:
          Maintenance Area boundaries were created from the region boundaries. Region boundaries were divided using the cut polygon feature using a sketched line as the cutting edge. A Spatial Join was created between the new and old maintenence area files and repetitive fields were deleted. Topology was created so there are no overlaps or gaps in the boundaries.
