ATRI assists the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) efforts to track the performance of the nation’s freight infrastructure. One set of tools employed to measure performance is a suite of freight congestion analytics that produce a comprehensive “freight efficiency index.” To produce this, ATRI relies primarily on a customized methodology and a unique truck GPS database that has been developed with industry support for more than a decade. The following link will take you to the most recently published dashboards and tables that result from this effort and are used by FHWA, the USDOT and others in assessing the state of freight efficiency:
