3 • Providing CMTS with a strategic capability to identify, coordinate, develop, and implement innovative science and technology to address the pressing challenges identified in the National CMTS Strategy and by the coordinating board • Conducting the Biennial R&D or Science and Technology Conference. A summary of past conferences includes the following: – The 2010 R&D conference, Transforming the MTS: A Vision for R&D, resulted in a strategic action plan, which was published in January 2011.

4 numerical network that can be used with operations research and systems engineering tools to quantify freight flow accurately over different spatial and temporal scales. MTS may not be the biggest player in the national freight flow discussion, but much of the national flow of freight originates or terminates at a port.

6 Significant opportunities are available to better articulate and align private and public sector goals around data collection and sharing as well as to align internal agency goals better. Identifying and communicating mutual benefits of information sharing will help to incentivize this activity, as will sharing of best practices.

7 freight better, more safely, and more efficiently and effectively, these applications are introducing new questions on how freight data and information are produced, who has access to the data, how that information can be used, by whom or for what purpose, and how private-sector data can be appropriately used by the public sector. In response, the public sector is continually challenged to develop new modeling and analytic approaches that best leverage newly available data and capture shifts in travel patterns and travel characteristics.

8 PLANNING AND DECISION-MAKING The freight provisions in the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act include a requirement to develop a national multimodal freight network, in part to support states in more strategically directing resources toward improved system performance for the efficient movement of freight through the network.

10 continue to work on ways to coordinate and share information appropriately in ways that will benefit the entire freight transportation system, as well as the national economy. It is critical that the public understand the importance of an integrated transportation system to our role in the global economy and be willing to make investments in the infrastructure, particularly in first mile/last mile access.
