Freight Data Tools
Freight data comes from a variety of sources and often presents a major hurdle in completing freight performance and policy analyses. The tools on this page have been developed by Federal Highway Administration and other federal organizations to help users gain quicker insights into freight data.
Freight Analysis Framework (FAF5) Data Visualization Tool
This tool is designed to allow users to create and download customized freight dashboards utilizing freight flow origin-destination flow data from the FAF. Tool includes information about the amount and types of goods moved by various modes of transportation between States and FAF regions. Users can select one or more data elements to dynamically generate customized visuals at National, State and FAF zone levels on demand.

This is an interactive dashboard that presents national freight statistics and identify freight highway bottlenecks on the Interstate System, National Highway System (NHS), Primary Highway Freight System (PHFS), and Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET). It analyzes trends for different freight mobility measures at the national, state, and MPO level and along specific corridors, at bottleneck locations, ports, and intermodal facilities.
