Overview: The U.S. Commodity Flow Surveys (CFS) provide a wealth of data on the movement of freight within the country, by mode of transportation, dollar value, annual tonnage, door-to-door shipment distance and shipment size. Yet gaps in CFS coverage and a lack of spatial and commodity detail limit the value of this data for planning and policy supporting studies. This paper identifies these gaps and considers how supplementary data sources combined with statistical modeling techniques can be used to create a more complete picture of national and regional commodity flows.
