We resolve the kinematic distance ambiguity for 266 inner Galaxy HII regions out of a sample of 291 using existing HI and ^13^CO sky surveys. Our sample contains all HII regions with measured radio recombination line emission over the extent of the ^13^CO Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Galactic Ring Survey (18<l<55{deg} and |b|<1) and contains ultra compact (UC), compact, and diffuse HII regions. We use two methods for resolving the distance ambiguity for each HII region: HI emission/absorption (HI E/A) and HI self-absorption (HI SA).
