Requesting Custom MPAC Data
Generally, there are three types of custom data requests received from municipalities:
- Data required for planning purposes for internal use that is more robust than what can be acquired through Municipal Connect or other standard products;
- Use that falls outside of ‘planning purposes’; and
- Requests to provide data to Third Parties
Please contact your local Account/Regional Manager to request custom data.
