Freight Data for State Transportation Agencies
TRB Electronic Circular E-C080: Freight Data for State Transportation Agencies documents a peer exchange that was held July 11, 2005, in Boston, Massachusetts. At the peer exchange, participants identified major challenges and issues relating to freight data. Some of those challenges and issues include the determination of data and information needs, logistics and supply chain analysis, freight data framework models, the role of state department of transportation, data management personnel, and understanding the universe of data sources and available data. The discussion of future research focused on determining best practices for establishing a state freight data framework through the documentation of best state practices in linking freight data sources and customer needs to support agency decision-making efforts.
