Abstract:The Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) is the core data source for many freight planning activities. The TRB Freight Transportation Data Committee collaborated with the U.S Department of Transportation (DOT) Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) to initiate a workshop to provide input to the next application of the survey. Convened after the release of the most recent detailed CFS data and coinciding with plans for the 2017 CFS, the workshop offered an interactive format for a diverse set of users to engage in productive dialogue. An ad hoc committee, chaired by Alison Conway of the City College of New York and selected by the sponsoring committee, carried out the detailed planning for the conference. This e-circular consists of individually attributed summaries. No language should be construed as consensus findings or recommendations on the part of the conference; the planning committee; the rapporteur; TRB; the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine; or the Freight Transportation Data Committee. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology provided funding to support travel and onsite expenses for planning committee members and selected speakers. The planning committee thanks Kathleen Hancock for her work preparing this e-circular, as well as TRB staff and the presenters for their contributions to the success of the workshop. The committee also extends a special thanks to BTS for providing the support that made this workshop possible.
