Due to concerns over the future use and conditions of the nation's infrastructure, a national discussion on freight policy has emerged, driven in part by a perceived lack of understanding freight movements by federal, state, and local researchers and planners. This growing awareness of freight transportation has led to several conferences and a review of freight data and analytical programs on the national level. The 'Data Needs in the Changing World of Logistics and Freight Transportation' findings recommended a new data architecture that examined the reason for freight movement, through comparable geographical and functional aggregations, with data that was kept current, developed jointly between the public and private sectors and used the latest technologies to track shipments. These findings are echoed in the other reports: current public freight data programs do not provide sufficient information for answering advanced inquiries into freight transportation. But simply describing the nature of freight shipments remains a difficult task.
