Abstract:The relational Multimodal Freight Database (MFD) was developed as part of Texas Department
of Transportation (TxDOT) Research Project 0-6297 entitled Freight Planning Factors Impacting
Texas Commodity Flows, conducted by the Center for Transportation Research (CTR). The
objective was to capture relevant publicly available freight data required for updating TxDOT
freight models and studies. Implementation Project 5-6297-01, entitled Multimodal Freight
Database, extends the work that has been conducted as part of TxDOT Research Project 0-6297.
Specifically, the objectives of Implementation Project 5-6297-01 are to disseminate information
about the MFD by hosting six workshops (Task 1), host a webinar to demonstrate the MFD to
selected FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) freight leaders (Task 2), and update the MFD
given the feedback received during Tasks 1 and 2.
This document summarizes the outcome of Task 2: Conduct Multimodal Freight Database
Webinar. The objective of Task 2 was to demonstrate the MFD to FHWA freight leaders and
TxDOT Division staff to gain support for the development of a national database and to discuss
the integration of proprietary data into the existing MFD. The webinar was hosted by Mr. Kirk
Fauver (Statewide Planning Engineer, FHWA) and Ms. Jolanda Prozzi (Assistant Director, CTR).
The webinar was conducted using Adobe Connect on December 8, 2011 from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m.
(CST).
