Freight Data
Freight model development is driven by and also often limited by the available data. The Freight Data section provides links to many multi-modal data sets that can be used to populate national and disaggregated models.
This content is read-only at this time and will be enable at a later time.
These data sets can be filtered by mode using the tool below.
