The Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) is a key data source for a myriad of freight planning activities. Two Transportation Research Board (TRB) standing committees, the Committee on Freight Data and the Committee on Travel Survey Methods Committee, initiated a conference to understand the survey better, see how other data sources are being used to supplement it, and explore possible improvements to future iterations of the survey. The conference, convened 6 months after the release of detailed CFS data and coinciding with planning for the 2007 CFS conference, offered an interactive format for a diverse set of users to engage in productive dialogue. The conference was called Commodity Flow Survey Conference. It took place July 7-8, 2005, in Boston, Massachusetts. This circular consists of individually attributed papers and summaries.
