Speakers will provide an overview of FAF5 base year data, forecasted data, and highlight a web-based data tool available for FAF users. Background FAF is produced through a partnership between the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and FHWA. FAF integrates data from various sources to create a comprehensive picture of freight movement among States and major metropolitan areas by all modes of transportation. The 2017 Commodity Flow Survey and international trade data from the Census Bureau serve as the foundation of FAF. FAF provides estimates for tonnage and value by regions, origin and destination, commodity type, and mode for base year 2017 and a forecasted horizon year (2050). FAF5 forecasts provide information on future freight demand for three economic growth scenarios at five-year increments through 2050, by various modes of transportation. FAF is updated every five years. Recently, the latest version of this resource (FAF5) was jointly released by BTS and FHWA. This webinar is the first in a two-part series. The second webinar will highlight updates in the FAF5 highway network assignment model and new FAF5 analysis and visualization tools.
