Freight Analysis Framework Version 3

The Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) integrates data from a variety of sources to create a comprehensive picture of freight movement among states and major metropolitan areas by all modes of transportation. With data from the 2007 Commodity Flow Survey and additional sources FAF version 3 (FAF³) provides estimates for tonnage and value by origin, destination, commodity, and mode for 2007, the most recent year, and forecasts through 2040. Also included are truck flows assigned to the highway network for 2007 and 2040. Because significant changes in method affect comparability of statistics, FAF³ and FAF² estimates may not be used together. Revised estimates of 1997 and 2002 commodity flows incorporating FAF³ methods are planned for release in the months ahead to support trend analysis.
