I would like to create trade areas with census tract boundaries but based on drive times.  What I am doing is overlaying my drive time trade areas with census tracts, but end up with way to many polygons.

The problem is that when I overlay the two I have parts of different trade areas within one census tract.  In short, I  would like to assign the tract the trade area that covers the largest amount of area within it.  Therefore having only one trade area per census tract therefore creating drive time areas with a census tract geography not circles.

Any ideas?
