Freight Analysis Framework

The Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) is a tool used by the U.S. Department of Transportation to analyze freight movement across the country. It combines data on the types and volumes of goods transported, along with their origins and destinations. By understanding how freight moves, the FAF helps inform transportation planning, policy development, and infrastructure improvements. It assists government agencies and businesses in making strategic decisions to enhance supply chain efficiency and support economic growth, all while considering the impact on transportation networks and the environment.
