Topic: Freight Analysis
Framework 3
Description: The Freight Analysis
Framework (FAF) provides a comprehensive picture of freight flows to, from, and
within the United States. Hear about the improvements and updates included in
FAF version 3, released in July 2010, which integrates data from the 2007
Commodity Flow Survey and other sources. New estimates include tonnage and
value by commodity type, mode, origin, and destination for 2007. Also due for
release in October 2010 are forecasts through the year 2040 and an assignment
of truck flows to the highway network.

by the Federal Highway Administration, are held via web conference, which means
that you view the PowerPoint presentations over the Internet while listening to
the presenters over your computer or the telephone. There is no cost involved
and you do not have to leave your desk to participate. More information about
Talking Freight is available at http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/fpd/talking_freight/index.htm
