National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD): Freight Analysis Framework Network (FAFN) 2003-Present Datasets

The Freight Analysis Framework Network (FAFN) 2003-Present dataset is from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). It is produced through a partnership between Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) by integrating 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. The spatial component of the FAF network is derived from National Highway System Version 2016.09 and contains state primary and secondary roads, National Highway System (NHS), National Network (NN) and several intermodal connectors as appropriate for the freight network modeling. The network consists of over 440,000 miles of equivalent road mileage. The data set covers the 48 contiguous States plus the District of Columbia, Alaska, and Hawaii.
