Upon request by the respondent electronic reporting options will be made available. I. Abstract III. Data The Commodity Flow Survey, a component of the Economic Census, is the only comprehensive source of multimodal, system-wide data on the volume and pattern of goods movement in the United States. These data are used by government transportation analysts at the Federal, state and local levels to estimate the future demand for transportation services and facilities; assess the adequacy of our current transportation infrastructure to accommodate the future demand; and to evaluate the economic, social and environmental impacts of transportation flows. The data also are used extensively by academics, researchers, economic planning organizations, and the business community. The Commodity Flow Survey is cosponsored by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Research and Innovative Technology Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation. The survey provides data on the movement of commodities in the United States from their origin to destination. The survey produces summary statistics on value, tons, ton-miles, average miles per shipment, commodity shipped, and modes of transportation used. The Census Bureau will publish shipment characteristics at the national, census regions and divisions, state, and Metropolitan Areas levels. Reports are also planned for estimates of hazardous material shipments and exports. Primary strategies for reducing respondent burden in the Commodity Flow Survey include employing a stratified random sample of business establishments, requesting data on a limited sample of shipment records from each establishment, and accepting estimates.
