Commodity Flow Survey Workshop: Workshop Summary - Key Observations on Improving the 2007 Commodity Flow Survey

The 2010 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) workshop was designed to facilitate a discussion of experiences among CFS users and to serve as a forum on potential future improvements. The workshop organizers recruited panelists to provide key insights on the ability of the CFS to respond to emerging transportation industry trends and the data needs of business leaders and policy makers. Reacting to these objectives, the workshop panelists and participants provided valuable and detailed insight on the state of the CFS—its history, its relevance, and its future. This report summarizes the key themes of the workshop proceedings and culminates with some ideas that could shape the future of the CFS program.
