摘要：	The acquisition, access, and utilization of freight data are increasingly important functions to state transportation agencies and data providers. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on Statewide Data and Information Systems (ABJ20) hosted a peer exchange to discuss state transportation agency collection and use of freight data and to identify ongoing issues and trends. Before to the peer exchange, state agency participants completed an extensive questionnaire on freight data practices and attended TRB's Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) Conference. Results of the completed questionnaires from 14 states provided insights into current practices and uses of freight data. In their responses, state agencies universally recognized the increasing need and importance of freight data access and analysis in their agencies. Major concerns were on data collection and access, data quality, and a lack of necessary resources and staffing. Responses also portrayed the varied and complex uses of freight data including modal program development, air quality analysis, safety investigations, hazardous materials monitoring, domestic and international trade, corridor analysis, supply chain analysis, and transportation modeling. The participation of local planning agencies and the acquisition of freight data at a local level were significant trends. State responders also recognized the necessity of national support for freight data collection and distribution, training, and communicating best practices.
