Trucking movements: BTS Freight Mobility Initiative (FMI)

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ (BTS) Freight Mobility Initiative (FMI) comprises all experimental statistics and products developed from a database of aggregated, anonymized, non-customer-specific GPS position data (or processed "GPS pings") acquired from the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) and harvested from a sample of truck tractors that have been moving around North America since 2018.

Daily Mobility Statistics

BTS has discontinued the “Daily Mobility Statistics” product, which estimated the number of Americans staying at home during the onset of COVID-19 as well as the temporal and spatial trip patterns (national-, state-, and county-level) of the traveling public over the subsequent months and years of the pandemic. This product will no longer be updated, with the final delivery received for the week of March 31-April 6, 2024.
