"Overview The Commuting in America (CIA) series of reports describing travelers and their commutes to work began in April 1984@ using census data to describe the emerging patterns of commuting. The original intent of CIA was well stated by Frank Fran?ois@ former Executive Director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)@ and the first CIA Steering Committee Chair. As prefaced by Fran?ois in the first report@ the goal of the CIA is ""to serve as a common resource of factual information upon which policy-makers can draw in shaping transportation development actions and policies over the coming years...It does not purport to reflect the policy positions of any of the sponsoring organizations and should not be interpreted in this manner."" This initiative@ Commuting in America 2013 (CIA 2013)@ continues to adhere to this original intent and philosophy"
