Behind the Numbers is a Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) quarterly webinar 
series providing insight into the collection, analysis, dissemination, and usage of 
transportation statistics.

Overview:
BTS has recently modernized its Border Crossing and TransBorder Freight Data 
programs. Although they are separate data programs, both provide an invaluable and 
unique view of North American trade and transportation from passenger to freight 
flows. Border Crossing Data provide users with comprehensive monthly and annual 
incoming vehicle, container, passenger and pedestrian entry count information for all 
U.S. border ports of entry from Canada and Mexico. The TransBorder Freight Data 
provide North American merchandise trade and freight data by commodity type, by 
mode of transportation (rail, truck, air, water, pipeline, mail and other), and with 
geographic detail for U.S. exports to and imports from Canada and Mexico.  The data 
are being used for trade corridor studies, transportation infrastructure planning, 
marketing and logistics analyses, and other purposes.  

During this webinar, Steven Beningo of BTS will show how customers can use the 
interactive TransBorder Freight Data dashboards to visualize cross border freight 
movements.  In addition, new query tools for both the Border Crossing and 
TransBorder Freight data sets will be shown.

Steven Beningo works as a Transportation Specialist in the Bureau of Transportation 
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Transportation.  In his current position, Mr. 
Beningo works on international transportation data programs.  He manages the 
TransBorder Freight Data Program, which involves data on U.S. trade with Canada and
