Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) FAF5: HiLoForecasts [supporting datasets]

The Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) creates a comprehensive picture of freight movement among states and major metropolitan areas by all modes of transportation. The FAF integrates data from a variety of sources. Starting with data from the Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) and international trade data from the Census Bureau, FAF incorporates data from agriculture, extraction, utility, construction, service, and other sectors. The FAF5 Regional Database of tonnage, value, and ton-miles by FAF regions of origin and destination, commodity type, and mode, benchmarked to the 2017 Commodity Flow Survey is available. Weights are in thousands of tons, activity is in millions of ton-miles, and values are in millions of 2017 constant dollars.

Files are available for download in .csv and MS Access formats on https://www.bts.gov/faf. An online Data Tabulation Tool (DTT), which uses the FAF data to create tabular summaries and visualizations for users, is also provided.
