## Data derived from the questionnaires, interviews, and surveys provides foundation to build WIST needs and requirements
This data-set forms a nucleus from which both public and private weather providers can:
Refine existing capabilities
Improve capabilities and services
Identify and leverage research and development proposals 
Implement new initiatives for surface transportation weather information heretofore not addressed
Identify weather information needs and weather products
