The TRB standing Committee on Freight Data initiated a workshop to provide a forum for discussion and input to the next application of the survey. The workshop, convened after the release of detailed CFS data and coinciding with planning for the 2011 CFS, offered an interactive format for a diverse set of users to engage in productive dialogue. A planning group chaired by Bruce Lambert of the Institute for Trade and Transportation Studies carried out the detailed planning for the workshop.
