North American freight transportation data are important for understanding cross-border issues between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Two Transportation Research Board (TRB) standing committees, the Freight Data Committee and the International Trade and Transportation Committee, initiated a conference to allow data users and providers to discuss freight transportation data from a North American perspective, highlighting recent changes in government-supplied data sources, and assessing users needs for today and the future. The workshop showcased recent and innovative applications of cross-border and freight flow data to address important transportation, policy, and development issues and offered an interactive format for a diverse set of participants to engage in productive dialogue. |
