Freight Analysis Framework (FAF5) Regions

The Freight Analysis Framework (FAF5) - Regions dataset was created from 2017 base year data and was published on April 11, 2022 from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The 2017 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) contains 132 zones for U.S. domestic regions, which are directly carried over to the geography definitions for the FAF (Version 5) Regions. These geographic areas can be classified as one of the following three types: (1) Metropolitan Area (MA): The state part of a selected metropolitan statistical area (MSA) or combined statistical area (CSA). (2) The Remainder of State (ROS): The portion of a state containing the counties that are not included in the MA type CFS Areas defined above. (3) Whole State: An entire state where no MA type CFS Areas are defined within the state.
