Topic: Non-Traditional
Freight Data Sources
Description: One of the biggest
challenges facing public sector transportation professionals is incorporating
freight perspectives into the transportation planning process. Having access to
accurate and timely data that can be used to support transportation planning,
system performance monitoring and other organizational needs, is a top priority
for federal transportation agencies, state departments of transportation (DOTs)
and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). This session highlights
national, state and MPO efforts to obtain improved freight data from
non-traditional sources.
Presenters:
·
Crystal Jones, FHWA Office of
Freight Management and Operations
