Narrative:

On 02/fri/02, I planned a flight from northeast ZZZ1 to ZZZ2. I contacted FSS for a briefing on my proposed route. I decided with the advice of FSS to fly south to va and then turn wbound due to inclement WX. At this time a NOTAM was given to me about the dc area. After more discussion I then summed up my route to the briefer and everything looked fine on route. No mention was made about the tra at ZZZ. I am finding a problem with the information regarding the tra's given to us by FSS. I spoke with FSS after the tra was cancelled in the bravo's after the 09/tue/01. The briefer told me that the only tra's in the country in effect is one of 2 miles around ground zero and a 3 mile tra around a fuel depot around boston. The briefer even mentioned that there were tra's cancelled in ca, hi, and tx. When I spoke with FSS yesterday, I was told that this tra went into effect after 09/tue/01 and has never been cancelled. Somewhere there is a breakdown in communication. This brings me to my situation. If I had flight following, I believe this situation would not have happened. When I travel across country from now on, I will be using this service to aid in preventing this happening again.

I DECIDED WITH THE ADVICE OF FSS TO FLY S TO VA AND THEN TURN WBOUND DUE TO INCLEMENT WX. AT THIS TIME A NOTAM WAS GIVEN TO ME ABOUT THE DC AREA. AFTER MORE DISCUSSION I THEN SUMMED UP MY RTE TO THE BRIEFER AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE ON RTE. NO MENTION WAS MADE ABOUT THE TRA AT ZZZ. I AM FINDING A PROB WITH THE INFO REGARDING THE TRA'S GIVEN TO US BY FSS. I SPOKE WITH FSS AFTER THE TRA WAS CANCELLED IN THE BRAVO'S AFTER THE 09/TUE/01. THE BRIEFER TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY TRA'S IN THE COUNTRY IN EFFECT IS ONE OF 2 MILES AROUND GND ZERO AND A 3 MILE TRA AROUND A FUEL DEPOT AROUND BOSTON. THE BRIEFER EVEN MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE TRA'S CANCELLED IN CA, HI, AND TX. WHEN I SPOKE WITH FSS YESTERDAY, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS TRA WENT INTO EFFECT AFTER 09/TUE/01 AND HAS NEVER BEEN CANCELLED. SOMEWHERE THERE IS A BREAKDOWN IN COMMUNICATION. THIS BRINGS ME TO MY SIT. IF I HAD FLT FOLLOWING, I BELIEVE THIS SIT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
