Transshipments Through Canada or Mexico
Transshipments are shipments of merchandise from a country of origin to a country of ultimate destination through an intermediary country.
The BTS transshipment data depict the dollar value of shipments that travel between the U.S. and other countries through Canada or Mexico, as well as the weight of imported goods.
Annual transshipment data from 2006 to 2010 can be found on the BTS web site at: http://www.bts.gov/programs/international/transborder/TBDR_TS/TBDR_TS_Index.html

Selected data are published in the Statistical Abstract of the United States. Data users include internal U.S. DOT customers, State DOTs, metropolitan planning
organizations, foreign governments, consultants and academics.

North American Transportation Statistics Interchange (NATS Interchange)
A forum for Canada, Mexico and the United States to exchange information on transportation data activities and coordinate joint projects.
The NATS Interchange has produced the North American Transportation Statistics On-Line Database (NATS-OD) at: http://nats.sct.gob.mx/ □ The three countries provide comparable data series□ 12 categories of data elements are:
▪ Updated annually, and▪ Emphasis on adding new indicators
BTS is a founding member of the NATS Interchange – in the early 1990s Annual meetings in May or June BTS and the U.S. Census Bureau hosts the NATS Interchange in Washington, DC
every three years.□ Canada hosted the 2010 NATS Interchange□ Mexico hosted in 2011 NATS Interchange□ The U.S. will host the 2012 NATS Interchange

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe - Working Party on Transport Statistics
The United States is a member of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
BTS traditionally participates in the UNECE Working Party on Transport Statistics. The UNECE Working Party on Transport Statistics meets every May, June or July in
Geneva, Switzerland. Common Questionnaire – Joint transportation data gathering program (with the
International Transport Forum and Eurostat – the European Union’s statistical agency):□ Railway transport□ Road transport□ Navigable inland waterways□ Gas and oil pipelines□ Vehicle-kilometers of road transport□ Buses and coaches

International Transport Forum
The United States became a member of the International Transport Forum (ITF) in 2006. The ITF is an extension of the former European Conference of Ministers of Transport.□ The ITF is one of the agencies that
receives data from the Common Questionnaire.
Data Collection Efforts include:□ Transport Trends
▪ Freight Transport▪ Passenger Transport▪ Road Injury Accidents▪ Containers Loaded and
Unloaded in Seaports▪ Coastal Shipping…
□ Short Term Trends Survey▪ Rail▪ Road▪ Water▪ Economic data
□ Investment in Transport Infrastructure▪ Total Gross Investment▪ Maintenance Expenditures

International Freight Data System
BTS and partner U.S. DOT agencies are participating in the Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Automated Commercial Environment/International Trade Data System (ACE/ITDS) project to re-engineer import and export data collection.
International Freight Data System (IFDS) Partner agencies:□ Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)□ National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)□ Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)□ Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)□ Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)□ Maritime Administration (MARAD)□ Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA)

International Freight Data System
The International Freight Data System (IFDS) will serve as the U.S. DOT portal into the Government-wide Automated Commercial Environment/ International Trade Data System (ACE/ITDS).
ACE/ITDS is led by Customs and Border Protection with the participation of 46 Federal agencies. When fully implemented, ACE/ITDS will be a single window of contact between the Federal Government and private sector.
IFDS will provide a wide variety of trade and transportation data to internal and external users.
U.S. DOT agencies expect to link e-manifest (all modes) data with entry and entry summary data for better geographic representation of imports followed by exports.
Projected IFDS Phase 1 completion – 2012
