Freight Transportation Stakeholders:

The Transportation Research Board (TRB) will hold a virtual workshop on the future of the Commodity Flow Survey and related national freight data programs on Thursday, September 24 from 11am-3pm ET.  Details on the agenda and registration can be found here.  If you are interested in a complimentary registration, please contact Julie Parker at [log in to unmask].

The Commodity Flow Survey 2020 workshop will facilitate discussion among federal, state, and local level planners, as well as transportation researchers, academics, and practitioners that use federal freight transportation data. The workshop is an opportunity for data producers and data users to work together to find more efficient ways to align the CFS with the FAF to answer more freight data questions, share information and knowledge, and come up with emerging issues that are important for understanding freight movements.

The workshop is sponsored by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and features participants from partner agencies such as the Census Bureau and the Federal Highway Administration. We hope you will be able to attend. Please direct any questions to [log in to unmask].
