Freight moves through a network of highways, local roads, rail facilities, ports and distribution sites. A useful freight picture separates truck volumes from port tonnage, rail activity and employment. These measures have different geographies and reporting calendars; they should not be added together as if they describe one interchangeable system.
What to keep in view
- Track the corridor or facility, not just the county
- Distinguish freight movement from freight-related jobs
- Use port, rail and highway operators for their own operating data
