In 1998, a federal interagency committee identified the weather information needs of surface transportation sectors as a priority for coordinated action. In response, the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research undertook a study of existing and potential needs for weather information for surface transportation (WIST). This report covers six transportation sectors: Roadway-state and federal highways, roads, and streets Long-Haul Railway-rail lines providing intercity freight and passenger service, with their yards, stations, and depots Marine Transportation System-coastal and inland waterways, ports and harbors, and the intermodal terminals serving them Rural and Urban Transit-bus and van service on streets and roadways, rail lines for metropolitan subway and surface 'light rail' systems Pipeline Systems-Above and below ground pipelines for commodities such as crude oil, refined petroleum products, and natural gas, plus the storage, transfer, and pumping facilities for pipelines Airport Ground Operations-All ground movement of vehicles, work crews, and passengers.
