This report provides guidance on how to conduct a commodity flow study for hazardous materials moving by highway. It discusses the need for this type of study and details how to review baseline information and design the study. It includes examples and instructions for collecting the data via field studies, analyzing the results, and applying these results back to the purpose of the study. Descriptions of selected recent state and local hazardous material flow studies are provided. A case study example is included that illustrates how to conduct and complete a hazmat flow survey from beginning to end.
