Industry and government collaborating to build a forward-looking, integrated view of supply chain conditions in the U.S.
About us
The Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) program is a public-private partnership among industry and government to build a forward-looking, integrated view of supply chain conditions in the United States. FLOW data helps forecast how current capacity and throughput will fare against future demand, helping participating companies anticipate changes in supply chain throughput and take proactive step to mitigate previously unanticipated delays. The FLOW program collects purchase order information from importers in addition to logistics supply, demand, and throughput data from participants (e.g., beneficial cargo owners, ocean carriers, ports, terminals, railways). The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) anonymizes, regionally segments, and aggregates the data. Participants then receive FLOW data that provides a broad, daily view of the current conditions of the overall logistics network, beyond what they may observe within their own operations.

Join us in congratulating the visionary behind FLOW, Andrew Petrisin, on his promotion to Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multimodal Freight at U.S. Department of Transportation! 🎉
I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multimodal Freight at the U.S. Department of Transportation! These past two and a half years have been quite a ride in freight and supply chain, from national port congestion leading up to the holidays, to baby formula shortages, national railroad negotiations, Panama Canal/Mississippi River drought, and the Red Sea attacks. So much of our work has been addressing acute challenges as they arise, while simultaneously doing the long-term work to build a more resilient national supply chain through our new Multimodal Freight Office, FLOW, and the White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience. I'm looking forward to continuing this good work. Thanks to the USDOT team for trusting me with this role, and I couldn't ask for a better team than the Multimodal Freight Office to continue the work with. Onward!
