1.Introduction
The main objective of this conference was “to provide transportation officials with a
broader understanding of data issues associated with the changing focus of the global
competitive market and its implication on the existing transportation infrastructure,trade
corridors,and markets.” In addition to this “global” objective,the conference organizers
identified the following more specific objectives:
· Provide an overview of freight transportation and emerging trends.
· Identify the availability of regional and national freight transportation data.
· Discuss new actions or strategies to obtain and enhance freight data and analysis.
· Identify the data required to address various decision support needs e.g.,policy,
logistics,etc.
· Examine analytical and forecasting capabilities in freight transportation.
· Develop research recommendations to set priorities for TRB,FHWA and BTS.
· Identify strategies for improving freight data collection and closing the gaps in data
that are required for the development of policies,plans and programs.
· Infuse the reality that market areas overlap political boundaries.
· Promote consistency and compatibility among existing data sources.
The conference presentations and,particularly,the discussions and interactions addressed
all of these objectives.In fact,they went considerably beyond them in the direction of
developing consensus among participants about the most important issues in the freight data
arena.(See Section 5.) In addition,a number of action items were identified that will constitute
the core of several follow-up actions at the state and federal levels (See Section 6.)
The conference deliberations focused a substantial amount of attention on the need to
understand the reasons for collecting new data,as well as on ways to obtain them,once the need
is firmly established.The conference organizers and participants recognized the importance of
understanding freight flows,of understanding the underlying economic activities (supply chains,
etc.) and the relationships that generate these flows,as well as the regional,national and
international context in which freight flows occur and how market areas are served.
The broader perspective of the conference also becomes evident by the fact that while the
New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT),in conjunction with the
Transportation Research Board (TRB),was the major organizer of this effort,the supporting
sponsorship by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS),the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA),the American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials (AASHTO),and the Northeast Association of State Transportation Officials (NASTO)
