Yeah, that's just setting up a HOT tasking manager right? Except the HOT
tasking manager will probably choke on one half hour tasks for all of US :)

Here's a map showing where TIGER is better than OSM:

https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/lxbarth.647bc246/page.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoibHhiYXJ0aCIsImEiOiJFVXdYcUlvIn0.bbaHTEWlnAwGgyVwJngMdQ#5/39.724/-99.360

It's using the same data you'll get if you use the "New & Misaligned TIGER
Roads" layer in iD and JOSM, so all of the map above is actionable.

At Mapbox we're working on focusing better our work better going after the
higher order road networks first. Happy to share once we have results here.
I don't have an ETA for this work yet.
